因果分析法(cause and effect)
　　在阐述某一现象的段落中，常采用因果分析法。例如：
　　The role of women in today's society is changing. One reason is that women have begun to assert themselves as independent people through the women's movement. Also, women are aware of the alternatives to staying at home. Another reason is that increasing numbers of women who enter new fields and interests serve as role models for other women. Moreover, men are becoming more conscious of the abilities of women and have begun to view their independence positively.来源：www.examda.com
