amy saw a dolphin show in the zoo. now she is talking about it. turn to page 67,
please work out what she is saying by making sentences using ‘because of’. let’s check the answer.
part three rule out
we can use ‘because’ to give the reason(s) for something. the word ‘because’ introduces the clause of reason and we usually put it in the middle of a sentence.          
我們可以用 ‘because’ 來引導原因狀語從句，一般放在句子的中間。
e.g.
main clause ‘because’ clause of reason
xi wang had to look after herself because her mother had another baby.
we can also use ‘because of’ to give the reason(s) for something. we use a noun, a noun phrase or a pronoun after ‘because of’.
我們也可以用 ‘because of ’ 來表示原因，后面跟一個名詞短語或代詞。
e.g.
main clause ‘because of’  noun (phrase) / pronoun
giant pandas are in danger   ecause of people.
part four practice
一、選用 ‘because’或 ‘because of’ 完成下列句子。
