hello everyone and welcome back
to english with lucy today i'm going to
teach you not only
how to improve your vocabulary but also
how to improve your writing i think this
lesson is really
important we're going to take a look at
because
and because of as well these words tend
to be repeated
far too often i do it myself i write an
essay
and i find myself using because because
because of because of
all the time but you can't just pick
another word
and put it in there it has to fit and it
has to work
grammatically in this lesson i'm going
to give you a selection of
alternative words that you can use in
place
of because and because of you have to be
careful with those two but i will
explain to help you

let's get started with the lesson
firstly
let's take a look at the difference
between because
and because of it might sound simple but
it really isn't it stumps
confuses a lot of my students because
on its own is a conjunction and it's
followed by a subject
and a verb because she felt
tired she didn't go out because she felt
tired
she didn't go out because of
is a two-word preposition it's followed
by a noun phrase
or verb ing because
of her tiredness that's a noun phrase
she didn't go out or because
of her feeling tired she didn't go out
there's a lot more to say on this matter
but i think that's enough for now enough
for you to
understand all of these alternatives for
because
and because of that i'm going to show
you so
to show you all of the alternatives i'm
going to tell you a story so it's not so
boring i'm going to tell you
about my education my journey through
various schools and whether i found it
easy or difficult
i'm first going to show you the sentence
using because
or because of and then i'm going to show
you that same
sentence with an alternative for because
or because of let's begin with number
one
when i was a child i lived in a tiny
village
because my parents loved the peaceful
countryside
now here we can replace because
with as as is a direct
synonym for because but it's a secondary
one
as can be used quite easily in place
of because when i was a child i lived in
a tiny village
as my parents loved the peaceful
countryside
another example only 60 students
attended the local primary school
as it was very rural so you can use
because here
or as because it was very rural
as it was very rural rural is a word
that lots of students
struggle to pronounce rural
it means isolated or surrounded by
countryside
no towns or cities around let's move on
to the next alternative because of this
we were blessed with a great ratio of
teachers to students
so here i've used because of we can
replace this
with due to due to this
we were blessed with a great ratio of
teachers to students
another example due to the small class
sizes
i had to invite the entire school year
to my birthday parties but don't worry
in my year there were three boys and
four girls
at one point there were seven students
in my entire year at school
let me know how many students there were
at your first
school i would love to know in the whole
school
for me 60 students because of the small
class sizes
due to the small class sizes both work
there
due to describes results and effects
let's move on to the next alternative
here's the first sentence
when i was nine i moved up to a middle
school
with 500 students i was so excited
because i would get to meet
new people we can replace because
with due to the fact that so
because of due to because
due to the fact that due to the fact
that might sound quite long
but it's a really great alternative if
you can keep it in your head
it replaces because not because of
really really well i was so excited due
to the fact that i would get to meet new
people
due to the fact that can you hear when i
say i'm not saying
due to the fact that i say
due to the fact that due to the fact
that
fact that i miss out that t sound
when i'm speaking quickly because it's
too much effort for my tongue
to say fact that factor that
due to the fact that another example i
found this school
difficult due to the fact that i'd never
interacted with so many people before
i went from knowing 60 students to 500
students
and i remember it was a much bigger
school
i got lost in it let's move on
to another alternative we have the
example sentence
eventually i moved to a girls school i
hated this school because i found the
girls to be very unfriendly
we can replace because with since
and since it's quite a formal equivalent
for because
i hated this school since i found the
girls to be very unfriendly
another example since the school was
very far away
i had to get up at six in the morning
and i didn't get home
till after six in the evening so for
four years of my life
i had a 12 hour school day
which i wasn't too happy about my
parents never planned for
the day to be so long but after i
enrolled in this school
the council started building a new road
and the road took four years to complete
so instead of going directly
on the bus to the school we had to go
all the way
around and it took two hours each way
let's move on to the next one
another alternative for because of i
didn't have much free time
because of this i lived for the weekends
we can replace because of this with
as a result of this this is very similar
to due to
as a result of this i lived for the
weekends
i always remember feeling really excited
on a friday when i got home
and really depressed on a sunday night
when i realized
i'd have to get up at five something
to catch the bus at six o'clock i bet
lots of people who commute to work can
relate to that
another example during this period i
missed a lot of school
as a result of an illness called
mononucleosis
because of an illness as a result of an
illness both work
and this is true i caught an illness
called mononucleosis it's also known as
glandular fever lots of young people
catch this illness
and most people recover in a couple of
months
i will tell you what happened in the
next example i recovered from the virus
in three months but i spent the next
three to four years
suffering from severe fatigue
i became depressed because of this here
we can replace
because of with thanks to
i became depressed thanks to this
thanks to this i became depressed thanks
to could be used for both
positive and negative outcomes so this
is a negative one
thanks to my illness i was depressed
obviously that's
negative an example of a positive
outcome with thanks to
thanks to the support of my family i
slowly made a full recovery
because of the support of my family i
slowly made a full recovery
i was 14 when i caught that virus and it
took until i was
16 to feel near normal
and 18 before i felt completely normal
again it was
so strange post-viral fatigue at 16 i
returned to a co-educational high school
co-ed short for co-educational is a
school with both genders rather than a
girls school or a boys school
called single-sex schools i found it
very strange to be around
boys because i had spent four years with
girls
here we can replace because with
four and this is slightly more formal
it's often used in poetry i found it
very strange to be around
boys for i had spent four years with
girls it does sound very poetic but i
like it
another example i found it hard to make
friends
for everyone had known one another for
many years
i've got two more examples another
alternative
i focused on studying spanish because of
my desire to escape my situation
here we can replace because of with
out of out of serves to explain
feelings and emotions you'll often hear
i did something
out of curiosity because of due to
curiosity
out of with feelings and emotions i
focused on studying spanish
out of my desire to escape my situation
and the last alternative
hopefully ending this story on a
positive note because i speak a second
language
i feel so much happier as a person we
can replace this with
now that now that i speak a second
language
i feel so much happier as a person and
it's true
learning a second language absolutely
changed my life
i was one of those people who really
didn't enjoy school
i did the majority of my learning once
i'd left school that's when i started
experimenting with languages
learning how to teach learning how to
create videos
i wonder if any of you would like to
share your experience with school
in the comments section i know that so
many people absolutely loved school i
mean my fiance will
adored his school days and for me
it's really strange it's hard for me to
understand because for me
school was such a negative thing however
i do think
predominantly it was a me problem my
problem
not the school's problems because lots
of other people seem to have
a fantastic time there anyway happy now
i really hope you enjoyed this lesson

让我们开始学习课程
首先
让我们来看看
因为
和因为之间的区别可能听起来很简单，但
它真的不是它
让我的很多学生感到困惑，
因为它本身就是一个连词，
后面跟着一个主语
和一个动词，因为她觉得
累了她没有出去 因为她觉得
累了
她没有出去，因为
是一个两个词的介词，后面
跟着一个名词短语
或动词ing，因为她累了
，这是一个名词短语，
她没有出去，或者
因为她感到疲倦，所以她没有'
在这件事上还有很多话要说，
但我认为现在就足够
让你
理解所有这些替代方案了
，因为我要向
你展示，以便
向你展示所有 我
要给你讲一个故事，这样就不会
那么无聊了
或者因为，然后我要给
你看同样的
句子，因为
或者因为，让我们从第一个开始，
当我还是个孩子的时候，我住在一个小
村庄，
因为我的父母喜欢宁静的
乡村，
现在我们可以
用 as as 替换 because 是因为的直接
同义词，但它是次要的
as 可以很容易地用来
代替因为当我还是个孩子的时候，我住在
一个小村庄，
因为我的父母喜欢宁静的
乡村
另一个例子只有 60 名学生
就读 当地的小学，
因为它非常乡村，所以你可以使用，
因为这里
或因为它非常乡村，
因为它非常乡村 乡村是一个
很多学生
都很难发音的词，
它意味着孤立或 sur 被乡村
包围 周围没有城镇 让我们
继续下一个选择 因为这个
我们很幸运拥有很高的师生比例
所以我在这里使用了因为我们可以
用这个来
代替因为这个
我们很幸运 教师与学生的比例很高
另一个例子，由于班级规模小，
我不得不邀请整个学年
参加我的生日聚会，但不用担心，
在我这一年有 3 个男孩和
4 个女孩
，有 7 个学生
在我在学校的整个一年里，
让我知道
你的第一
所学校有多少学生我很想知道整个
学校
的学生人数 60 名学生，因为班级规模小，
由于班级规模小，他们都在
那里工作，
因为描述了结果 和效果
让我们继续下一个选择
这是
我九岁时的第一句话 我搬到一所有
500 名学生的中学 我很兴奋，
因为我可以结识
新的人，我们可以取代 e
因为由于这个事实所以
因为由于因为
由于这个
事实可能听起来很长
但是如果
你可以把它放在你的脑海中
它是一个非常好的选择它代替因为不是因为
真的真的 好吧，我很兴奋，
因为我会结识新
朋友，
因为当我说我不说的时候你能听到，
因为我说因为事实上
事实上，当我快速说话时，我会错过那个 t 音
，
因为我的舌头很难说出
这个事实，因为另一个例子，我
发现这所学校
很困难，因为我从未
互动过 在
我认识 60 名学生到 500
名学生之前，有这么多人
，我记得那是一所更大的
学校 因为我找到了
女孩们非常不友好，
我们可以替换，因为自从
和因为它是相当正式的等价
物因为
我讨厌这所学校，因为我发现
女孩们非常不友好，
另一个例子，因为学校
很远，
我不得不在六点起床 早上
，我
直到晚上六点多才回家，所以
在我生命中的四年里，
我有一个 12 小时的上学日
，我对我的父母不太高兴，
从来没有计划过
这么长的一天，但之后 我
就读于这所
学校，议会开始修一条新路
，这条路花了四年时间才建成，
所以
我们不得不一路绕行，而不是直接坐公共汽车去学校
，
单程要花两个小时，
让我们继续前进 下一个
另一种选择，因为我
没有太多空闲时间，
因为我住在周末，
我们可以替换，因为这个，
因为这个非常相似
，
因为这个我住了 周末
我总是 是的，记得
我周五回到家
时感到非常兴奋，而在周日
晚上我意识到
我必须在五
点钟起床才能赶上六点钟的公共汽车时感到非常沮丧，我敢打赌
很多通勤上班的人 可以
与
另一个例子相关，在此期间我
因为一种
叫做
单核细胞增多症的疾病而错过了很多学校，
因为一种疾病导致一种
疾病
，这是真的，我患上了一种
叫做单核细胞增多症的疾病，它也被称为
腺体 发烧 很多年轻人
染上这种病
，大多数人会在几个月内康复
我将在下一个示例中告诉你发生了什么
我
在三个月内从病毒中康复，但在接下来的
三到四年里
，我一直饱受严重疲劳的折磨
因为这个而沮丧，
我们可以在这里替换，
因为，
我变得沮丧，
感谢这个，我变得沮丧，感谢
，可以用于
积极和消极的结果 所以这
是负面的，
多亏了我的病，我很沮丧，这
显然是
负面的，这是一个积极结果的例子，
多亏了家人的支持，我
慢慢完全康复了，
因为我的家人的支持，我
慢慢地完全康复了 康复
感染病毒时我 14 岁，
直到
16 岁才感觉接近正常
，18 岁才再次感觉完全
正常 Co-educational 的缩写是一
所男女皆宜的学校，而不是一所
女校或一所男校，
称为单性别学校。我觉得和男孩
在一起很奇怪，
因为我在这里和女孩呆了四年，
我们可以代替，因为有
四个和 这稍微正式一些，
它经常用在诗歌中 我发现和男孩
在一起很奇怪，
因为我和女孩一起度过了四年，
听起来确实很有诗意，但我
喜欢
另一个例子，我发现很难在
eve 交朋友 ryone 已经认识
很多年了
我还有两个例子 另一种
选择
我专注于学习西班牙语 因为
我想逃避我
在这里的情况 我们可以代替因为
没有服务来解释
你会的感受和情绪 经常听到
我
出于好奇而做某事，因为
出于感觉和情绪的好奇，我
专注于学习西班牙语
，因为我渴望逃避自己的处境
，最后一个选择
希望以积极的方式结束这个故事，
因为我会说第二
语言
作为一个人，我感觉更快乐，我们
可以用它来代替
现在我说第二
语言，
我作为一个人感觉更快乐，
学习第二语言确实
改变了我的生活，
我是那些真正
没有的人之一 '不喜欢学校
我大部分的学习
都是在我离开学校后开始
尝试语言
学习如何教学学习如何
创建视频
我 想知道你们中的任何人是否愿意
在评论部分分享您在学校的经历我知道有
很多人非常喜欢学校我的
意思是我的未婚夫会
喜欢他的学生时代对我来说
这真的很奇怪我很难
理解因为对我来说
学校是一件很消极的事情，但是
我确实认为
主要是我的问题我的
问题
不是学校的问题因为
很多其他人似乎在
那里度过了美好的时光无论如何现在
我真的希望你喜欢这节课
