Document Revision No. Revision Date Next Revision Date Old Reference 1 ACK.TEM.FSP.01 0 September 2016 January 2017 NA Cause and Effect language: In cause and effect writing, sentence types are used in a variety of ways. Simple sentences are used to express facts/opinions strongly whereas compound/complex sentences are used to logically connect causes/effects. 1. Simple sentences have only one clause (main clause) or an independent clause and it must have a subject and a verb. Remember if a subject or a verb is missing, the sentence is incomplete and it is called a fragment! Unemployment (subject) has destroyed (verb) many lives (object). Unemployment (subject) is (verb) often in the news (prepositional phrase). Financial resources (subject) will decrease (verb) eventually (adverb). 2. The subject of a sentence must be a noun phrase: Large financial resources are needed. (adjective + noun) This has made a great difference. (pronoun) Education and health are often in the news. (noun and noun) The education of workers in the construction industry is vital. (noun + prepositional phrase) Educating workers in the construction industry is vital. (gerund) 3. How are simple sentences used in cause/effect writing/academic writing? To emphasize an important point: The consequences of education can be profound. Independent clauses are connected in academic writing by transition words to make the relationship between ideas clear: as a result/consequently/furthermore/however The ozone layer is getting thinner. As a result, the Earth is getting warmer. 4. Compound sentences connect ideas. A compound sentence includes at least two independent clauses that are connected by a coordinating conjunction (for/and/nor/but/or/yet/so). Use a comma before the coordinating conjunction.

Document Revision No. Revision Date Next Revision Date Old Reference 1 ACK.TEM.FSP.01 0 September 2016 January 2017 NA Some people are concerned about the environment, so they recycle all their packaging. Remember to avoid run-on sentences (two independent clauses without a coordinating conjunction) and comma splices (two independent clauses combined with a comma)!!! Don’t start sentences with AND or BUT in academic writing!!! 5. Complex sentences can be used to link cause and effect ideas. A complex sentence has an independent clause and a dependent clause introduced by a subordinator. Subordinators show the relationship between the two ideas. Examples of subordinators include: although/after/as if/because/before/if/since/whereas/whether/while Although health and safety courses are more common in the construction industry, accidents continue to happen. While solar energy is becoming more common, the costs of installing solar energy systems is still a concern. Because oil reserves are being depleted, alternative energy sources must be explored. Noun patterns that show cause: The use of the nouns cause, reason and factor is another important way of showing cause/effect relationships in academic writing. 1. Cause + form of the verb be: A lack of awareness is one major cause of construction accidents. Another leading cause of pollution is carbon dioxide emissions from cars. 2. Reason + form of verb be: One reason (why) oil reserves are being depleted is increased demand. The primary reason for our concern about urbanization is the declining quality of city living.

Factor and a form of the verb be: Another critical factor in pollution is the rising industrialization of developing countries.

Fossil fuels can have a significant effect on our health and planet. When/If _______________(NP), the result is _______________(NP).

Body Paragraphs Presenting other author’s ideas When you are using another author’s ideas to defend your ideas, you can do so in the following 3 ways: 1. Direct quotation “the unauthorized use or close imitation of the language and thoughts of another author and the representation of them as one's own original work” (Dictionary.com). These should be used sparingly. FSP110 English for Engineering Page 5 of 11 Fall 2016 Supplementary Material FSP110 English for Engineering Grammatical Features Issue no. Document Revision No. Revision Date Next Revision Date Old Reference 1 ACK.TEM.FSP.01 0 September 2016 January 2017 NA 2. Paraphrase A paraphrase involves rewriting, or ‘translating’, someone else’s ideas into your own words in approximately the same number of words as the original text. The key to acceptable paraphrasing is being able to manipulate the language and grammatical features of the original so that you keep the meaning while making the words your own. Original text: With an understanding of the conceptualization and methods of application, QOL (Quality of Life) can be an important concept for occupational therapists to use in outcome measurement. Paraphrase: Quality of Life has been described as an important outcome measure for occupational therapists, provided it is adequately conceptualized and the methods of applying it are understood (Liddle & McKenna, 2000). 3. Summary A summary includes the main ideas of an author or the essence of their argument/s and is always substantially shorter than the length of original text. Through summarising source material, you can avoid overusing direct quotations and paraphrasing large sections of the original text (a common issue for less confident writers). It forces you to focus on the meaning of what you have read and presents the material in your own words. You still need to acknowledge the source of the information, and you should add your own comments to provide analysis and interpretation of the work. Original text: With an understanding of the conceptualization and methods of application, QOL (Quality of Life) can be an important concept for occupational therapists to use in outcome measurement. Summary: Quality of Life can be an important concept and outcome measure for occupational therapists (Liddle & McKenna, 2000). Phrases used to introduce and identify other author’s ideas You can use these common subject + verb combinations to introduce the main ideas of a summary. a. The article + says/states/notes/described/mentions/quotes/reports….. The article describes the causes of air pollution. b. The author + claims/explains/calls/says/writes/argues/cites/establishes/starts… The author argues that China has a responsibility to reduce air pollution.

Showing how confident –or not- you are with regard to your position. It is clearly the better solution for warmer climates. You can be confident through the use of boosters such as ‘definitely’, ‘will’, ‘must’, and ‘cannot’. It is perhaps the better solution for warmer climates. You can be cautious through the use of hedges such as ‘perhaps’, ‘maybe’, ‘could’ and ‘might’. 2. Being explicit about relationships. If you think two ideas are almost the same make it clear. Similarly, If you intend your sentence to give extra information, make it clear. In addition, 3. Indicating the strength of your claim. You can show your position with regard to the points of view or the evidence that you have presented.
