and effect.The technique
of cause and effect has great flexibility,for the relationships between causes and effects are not always as
clear cut as the two terms seem to suggest.Causes may not all carry the same weight,for example.Several contributing causes may be
grounded together to form one important cause.There may be one effect to a cause,or there may be many.Effects may be less important than causes,and so on.So you have to be very careful in
dealing with cause and effect.

Model Essay 27…1

As it is known to everyone,languages are constantly changing nowadays.There are many reasons why
languages change,but the
following three major causes may help illustrate the concept.Initially,various languages that started from
the same parent developed their own uniqueness after groups of speakers drifted
away from one another to establish isolated,independent munities.

Another major cause of language change is the influence of and
interaction with foreign cultures,often as a result of militaryconquest.A continuing cause for change is rapidly expanding technology and
new systems of munication that bring all cultures and languages into closer
contact,with
borrowing between language a mon phenomenon in the contemporary world.

New established munities,the influence of and interaction with foreign cultures,the rapid development of technology
and new systems of munication contribute to language change.So we may say all languages change
as the experiences of their speakers change.

Model Essay 28…1

Nowadays radio and TV play a more and more important role in our
daily lives.There are
many programmes shown every day.Some of them are very good.My most favourite programme is“The Animal World”,which is shown on television every Sunday night.

The programme is interesting as well as instructive.It providesus with natural scenes
of the lives of all kinds of wild animals together with the vivid explanations
of the narrator.Besides,the pictures are very beautiful and
some of them are also very valuable.They contain much information not only about animals,but also about plants.

The reason why I like this programme is that,being born and bred in the city,I have not seen any wild animals,and the programme pensates for
this.In addition,it provides me with rich knowledge
about nature and the animal world.

Believe it or not,it is really a great joy to watch it.

From the given topic sentences,we can see that the second topic sentence is a further development
of the first one.The
transitional word“also”shows that the two topic sentences
are parellel.So we have to
write the advantages of television in the first two paragraphs—in the first paragraph,write“vivid world”,while in the second,“educational role”;In the third topic sentence,the transitional word “However”changes the point of view from positive“vivid”,“educational”to negative“harmful”.Thus,we should
