Cause Connectors


Connectors or linkers are words or groups of words that help us connect words, phrases or sentences. Thanks to them, we can express relationships between ideas and improve our expression by making longer, more complex sentences.

For example, take these two sentences:
Our teacher was ill. We had to put off the exam.

The first sentence is the cause of the second, and the second is the result of the first. The idea would be understood more easily if we could express the relation between both sentences.
Thus, we could say:
Our teacher was ill, therefore we had to put off the exam.
We had to put off the exam because our teacher was ill.

As you can see, these two examples sound better than the first two sentences, thanks to the use of the connectors therefore and because.


Connectors can be used to show contrast, purpose, sequence, etc. but today we will be concentrating on the linking words that show cause or result.

CAUSE
  • Conjunctions followed by a complete sentence:
    • Because: it usally follows the main clause: Everybody likes her because she's very kind and friendly.
    • As and since are very similar. As is less formal than since. They are used when the reason is well known. The clauses that start with these words often begin the sentence:

As I was very tired, I went to bed early.
 Since you are not interested, I won't tell you about it.
(As and since can also be used as time connectors).
    • For suggests that the reason is given as an afterthought. For-clauses never come at the beginning of the sentence. For is mainly used in literary texts, therefore, it is very formal. We listened eagerly, for he brought news of our families.
  • Connectors followed by a noun, a noun phrase, a pronoun or a gerund:
    • Because of: They have had problems raising cash because of the credit crunch.
    • Due to and owing to are considered by many speakers as exact equivalents, but this is not so, because due to is adjectival (it follows a noun or pronoun), whereas owing to is adverbial (it complements a verb). Compare these examples:
      The game was cancelled owing to torrential rain. 
      The cancellation of the game was due to torrential rain.
      If you are doubtful as to which of these you can use, here's a trick: try to substitute due to with “caused by” and see if it works. *The game was cancelled caused by torrential rain.* doesn't sound correct, so it's not possible to use due to in this case. On the other hand, The cancellation of the game was caused by torrential rain, sounds fine.
      Owing to is interchangeable with because of: The game was cancelled because of torrential rain.
    • On account of: The nurse had to keep the baby in another room on account of my illness.
    • Thanks to suggests that there is some cause for gratitude, though it can be used sarcastically. She was given a scholarship thanks to her excellent grades.
RESULT or CONSEQUENCE
  • Thus (very formal): He was the eldest son, and thus, heir to the title.
  • Therefore (formal, used mainly in written English): She is only seventeen and therefore not eligible to vote.
  • As a result: There has been a rise in the number of accidents. As a result, the government has decided to lower the speed limit. As a result of is followed by a noun, pronoun or gerund. Can you rewrite the previous example using as a result of?
     As a result of the rise in the number of accidents, the government...
  • So (less formal): There was nothing on TV, so I decided to go to bed.
  • That's why: Cold temperatures kill mosquitos. That's why you won't see them in winter.
  • For this reason: The Colonel was confident that war was impending, and for this reason he hurried his preparations to leave the country.
  • Consequently (used especially in written English): This poses a threat to the food chain, and consequently to human health.

Landak Mini : Hewan Mamalia Eksotik

apa sih landak mini itu?
Dalam kehidupan nyata, landak mini dapat dikatakan sangat mudah dikenali, merupakan mamalia kecil dengan bentuk fisiknya yang cenderung oval/bulat dengan duri dibagian kepala dan punggungnya, dimana duri tersebut adalah rambut tebal yang berongga keras. Landak mini memiliki hidung runcing, dan mata yang agak menonjol terletak di sisi samping-samping wajah. Telinga mereka biasanya bulat, meskipun dalam beberapa spesies, bisa jadi memanjang, dan terletak tinggi di sisi samping-samping kepala. Memiliki ekor yang kecil dan pendek, dan secara fungsional sangat minim digunakan.
Pada dasarnya Landak mini memiliki kecepatan berlari yang cukup pelan, walaupun berjalan dengan keempat kakinya dengan area perut terangkat, namun hampir bisa dikatakan kecepatannya hanya seperti layaknya binatang merayap, alias tidak mampu berlari kencang.
Apakah landak mini bersifat liar?
Memang landak mini adalah spesies yang baru-baru ini dipelihara, tapi landak mini sebagai pet, yang kita miliki bukan binatang liar. Landak mini adalah campuran dari dua jenis landak, dan bukan merupakan varietas alami.  Landak mini juga memiliki sifat dasar bukan sebagai penyerang, lebih cenderung penakut dan selalu waspada, oleh karena itu akan melindungi dirinya secara cepat jika merasa terancam. Untuk melindungi dirinya, mereka akan menggulungkan tubuhnya menjadi sebuah bulatan layaknya bola kemudian semua durinya akan ditegakkan dan berada disisi luar.
Namun anda tidak perlu takut dulu, duri landak mini sendiri bersifat relatif aman/ tidak beracun dan tidak melukai, lain halnya dengan landak hutan (porcupine) yang dapat melesatkan/melepaskan duri dari tubuhnya ketika terancam. Bagi kita (sebagai pemelihara) yang sudah terbiasa memegangnya, tidak perlu merasa takut karena hanya akan terasa seperti memegang “sikat cuci baju”. Sama seperti mamalia lain, binatang ini adalah binatang menyusui dan susu merupakan makanan pertamanya sampai dia cukup umur. Mereka juga suka sekali mencium bau lingkungannya, dan bau yang sudah tidak asing bagi mereka akan di rekam sehingga mereka tidak lagi takut.
Termasuk ke dalam jenis apakah landak mini? dan apa yang dia makan di habitat aslinya?
Sering halnya masyarakat menyebut landak mini sebagai hewan pengerat (ordo: rodentia), namun sebenarnya berlawanan dengan keyakinan tersebut, landak mini bukanlah hewan pengerat. Mereka adalah kelompok hewan insectivora (organisme yang makanannya adalah serangga dan hewan kecil lainnya). Mereka sama sekali tidak berkaitan dengan landak jawa/hutan, meskipun penampilan yang agak serupa menyebabkan banyak orang salah mengartikan landak mini (hedgehog) sebagai bayi porcupine. Di habitat aslinya, landak mini cenderung memakaberbagai jenis serangga, tak hanya itu, tampaknya landak agak oportunis, dan bersedia untuk makan tikus kecil, reptil, burung bersarang tanah, telur dan fledglings, dan kadang-kadang potongan-potongan bahan-bahan tanaman seperti sayuran dan buah-buahan.

Beda landak hutan [ PORCUPINE ] dengan landak mini [ HEDGEHOG ]


Landak ini berbeda jauh sekali dibandingkan dengan landak yang kita kenal di Indonesia, yang disebut Porcupine
 Di mana landak tinggal di alam liar?
Pada dasarnya penyebaran landak mini banyak di temukan di benua Eropa, Asia, Afrika, dan Australia. Di tanah air kita, tidak ada endemic asli landak mini, yang ada justru landak jawa/hutan yang sudah saya jelaskan diatas. Sehingga jenis landak mini yang paling dominan dan sering disimpan sebagai hewan peliharaan di Indonesia, merupakan landak mini endemic Afrika yang telah diimport dan dikembangbiakkan dalam beberapa tahun ini.
Landak mini pada habitat aslinya biasanya tinggal di daerah dataran, di daerah-daerah yang sering panas dan kering. Hidup soliter atau menyendiri pada kondisi normal, selain ibu-ibu dengan anak, dan pasangan selama perkawinan. Tiap individu dari mereka sering memiliki teritori wilayah tinggal/huni masing-masing dimana wilayah tersebut merupakan area basis pengembaraan hidup mereka. Betina landak mini lebih bersifat lembut, sering berbagi wilayah, meskipun tetap dalam kebiasaan terpisah. sedangkan untuk jantan, cenderung jauh lebih kuat/ketat dalam menjaga teritorinya, dan kurang toleran terhadap jantan-jantan lain yang menempati wilayah yang sama.
Tampaknya landak mini, mendapatkan keuntungan dari para hewan lagi penggali lubang seperti kelinci, kelinci, musang, dan hewan penggali lainnya. Mereka sering menutup liang ini dengan rumput dan dedaunan, menciptakan sebuah ruang nyaman di mana mereka dapat  tidur di siang hari. Landak merupakan hewan nokturnal, mereka berburu dan mengembara antara senja dan fajar. Gerakan lambat khas mereka, dan kecenderungan untuk menggulung menjadi bola adalah penyebab utama mereka ditakuti “predator”
