无论哪种题目，写明因果关系很重要。关于因果关系的表达同学们都很熟悉，无非是BS(because / so)，而且大家也一定很清楚的知道BS在英语中，用了前者就不能用后者的道理。例如
Becausefurther education has become more accessible for a wider range of people， an increasing number of people have degrees
Further education has become more accessible for a wider range of people， so an increasing number of people have degrees。
是除了BS之外，还有很多其它表示因果关系的表达，具体如下：
1.because of ： because后接的是一个句子(主谓宾);because of 后一般直接跟名词。例如：
Because ofthe increasing number of machine—and as we noted before， machines magnify human effort—then anyone using a machine can
get a higher wage than anyone not using a machine。
2.as / since (除了“因为“外，还有”自从”的意思，使用时要注意避免歧义)

due to (negative situations通常使用与结果不好的时候)

4.当原因需要的表达较多时，我们还可以把以上表达改写为原因状语从句，使用thanks to the fact that / due to the fact that /owing to the fact that 或者on the grounds that ...
