Our everyday experiences mirror cause-effect relationship.
For instance, you always sleep late at night so you are always
late in school. With that, your teacher always reprimand you
for being late and for missing the daily quiz. Since you
always miss quizzes, you get zero in class participation.
Because of that, you are sorry for yourself and promise to go
to bed early and wake up early since then. In this example,
you can figure out that:
Cont’d…
CAUSE EFFECT
Sleeping late Late in school
Late in school Reprimand by the teacher
Late in school Missing the daily quiz
Missing the daily quiz Zero in class participation
Zero in class participation Sorry

Sorry Promise
Promise ???
Or it could be sleep late Late in school, caught in traffic, develop insomnia, sleepy, laziness, and
tired
