Exercise 1
Read through the following passage, underlining causes and highlighting effects.
I woke up late this morning because my alarm clock did not ring. As a result, I
had to rush to get ready for school and I made a huge mess all over the house. I
missed the bus because I had to go back home to fetch my cellphone. Consequently, I
was late for school, and my lecturer was not pleased with me at all. Due to the fact
that my day had been going so badly, I was in a bad mood and I shouted at my
friends. Since I was in such a bad mood, they didn’t want to hang out with me and
they left. After they left, my day only got worse. In view of all that happened today,
I’ve decided that I need two alarm clocks instead of one, to make sure I wake up on
time in the mornings.

Now, tabulate your causes and the related effects using a table similar to the one
below:
