A Paragraph of Cause and Effect
The author presents the reader with his own language learning experience for different stages, from junior middle school to online learning, and for each different stage of learning he describes an effect that results from some cause. This is an example of cause and effect writing, which makes clear the reasons why something happens by showing the relation between a cause and its effect. Look at how the author writes in Paragraph 3.
Para. 3
When I went to senior middle school, I was eager to continue studying English; however, my experience in senior school was very different from before. While my former teacher had been patient with all students, my new teacher quickly punished those who gave incorrect answers. Whenever we answered incorrectly, she pointed a long stick at us and, shaking it up and down, shouted, "No! No! No!" It didn't take me long to lose my eagerness to answer questions. Not only did I lose my joy in answering questions, but also I totally lost my desire to say anything at all in English.
