    What is cause and effect essay?

     A cause and effect essay looks at the reasons (or causes) for something, then
    discusses the results (or effects).
     For this reason, cause and effect essays are sometimes referred to as reason and
    result essays.
     only the causes or the effects, not both, are discussed. See the examples below.

    Cause and effect of structure words
     Cause and effect structure words are transition signals which show the cause and effect
    relationships.

     It is important to be clear which is the cause (or reason) and which is the effect (or result),
    and to use the correct transition word or phrase.
    Example of transition signal for cause:

     The first cause of (Y) is (X)


     The next reason is (X)
     Because of (X), (Y)
     As a result of (X), (Y)
     As a consequence of (X), (Y)
     because/since/as (X)
    Example of transition signal for cause:

     to result from (X)


     (X) results in (Y)
     to be the result of (X)
     (Y) is due to (X)
     Owing to (X), (Y)
     (Y) is because of (X)
     (Y) is the effect of (X)
     (Y) is the consequence of (X)
    Examples:
     Worsening pollution levels in cities are due to the increased use of cars.
     Because of the increased use of cars, pollution levels in cities are worsening.
     As a result of the increased use of cars, pollution levels in cities are worsening.
     The effect of the increased use of cars is a worsening of pollution levels in cities.
    Example of transition signal for effect:
     The first effect of (X) is (Y)
     Another result of (X) is (Y)
     As a result, (Y)
     As a consequence, (Y)
     Consequently (Y)
     Therefore, (Y)
     Thus (Y)
    Example of transition signal for effect:
     Hence (Y)
     (X) results in (Y)
     (X) causes (Y)
     (X) has an effect on (Y)
     (X) affects (Y)
     (X) is one of the causes of (Y)
     (X) is the reason for (Y)
    Examples:

     Cars are used increasingly for urban transport. As a consequence, pollution levels
    in cities are worsening.
     Increased use of cars for urban transport adversely affects pollution levels in
    cities.
     Increased use of cars for urban transport is one of the causes of worsening
    pollution levels in cities.
