c. I went on a short trip... rearranging my room. +I also went to a
beach party... midnight!
d. It also makes writing... change anything I write. + It's a portable,
compact notebook ... just about anywhere!
Now for my news. I went on a short trip to visit my grandmother last week. I
always enjoy seeing her because we spend hours chatting and gossiping. When I got
home, I found that my parents had bought me some new bedroom furniture, so I
spent Saturday rearranging my room. I also went to a great beach party, where we
had a barbecue and went swimming at midnight!
I finally decided on a new computer rather than a stereo. It also makes writing
assignments a much shorter task, as I can easily change anything I write. It's a
portable, compact notebook which weighs only two kilos; as a result, I can work just
about anywhere! The computer was a real bargain and it has made such a difference
to my life!
a) reason because, as,
b) result so, as a result
I bought a new stereo, as my old one was beyond repair.
I went to my grandmother's house, because I hadn't seen her for ages.
I decided to buy a computer; as a result, I finish my homework in half the time.
I watched TV all night, so I was too tired to do well in my exam.
I spent hours on the Internet as a result, my phone bill was huge!
I bought a new bicycle, because I couldn't stand travelling by bus.

  • 23. Now for my news. I went on a short trip to visit my grandmother last week. I always enjoy seeing her because we spend hours chatting and gossiping. When I got home, I found that my parents had bought me some new bedroom furniture, so I spent Saturday rearranging my room. I also went to a great beach party, where we had a barbecue and went swimming at midnight! I finally decided on a new computer rather than a stereo. It also makes writing assignments a much shorter task, as I can easily change anything I write. It's a portable, compact notebook which weighs only two kilos; as a result, I can work just about anywhere! The computer was a real bargain and it has made such a difference to my life!
  • 24. a) reason because, as, b) result so, as a result
  • 25. I bought a new stereo, as my old one was beyond repair. I went to my grandmother's house, because I hadn't seen her for ages. I decided to buy a computer; as a result, I finish my homework in half the time. I watched TV all night, so I was too tired to do well in my exam. I spent hours on the Internet as a result, my phone bill was huge! I bought a new bicycle, because I couldn't stand travelling by bus.
