HOMEWORK

1. Book - Page 22 / Section 5, Vocabulary: Cultural Activities.

Write one sentence for each of these words/phrases: LEARN ABOUT - TAKE - GO TO SEE - JOIN - GO TO. You can use the examples we used to complete the table. You can start your sentences with "I would like to..." or "I wouldn't like to..."

LINKING WORDS: Information

For expressing reasons:

Because / Because of

The difference between these two words is that because is followed by a subject + verb, and because of is followed by a noun:

• The game was canceled because of the rain.
• The game was canceled because it was raining.

In spoken English, many people say ’cause as a short form of “because.”

Due to the fact that 

• Many people are still unemployed due to the fact that the economic recovery has been slower than anticipated.

Since / As

Since and as are more informal.

• I’m going to bed at 10 PM since I need to get up early tomorrow morning.
• I didn’t go to the gym today, as I had a lot of homework to do.

for expressing Results:

Therefore / Consequently / As a result

These words are more formal and more commonly used in written English.

• Our company’s profits have increased 150% in the past year. Therefore, we’re going to invest in new equipment and training programs.
• The tennis player had knee surgery mid-October; consequently, she took the rest of the season off.
• There have been heavy rains throughout the interior of the state. As a result, several areas have experienced flooding.

So

“So” is more informal, and more commonly used in spoken English.
