Procedure
Advice about how to use cause-effect to develop a paragraph
1.Before we start to write, we must think carefully and work out a list of causes and effects, and find out the logical relationship between them. Logical thinking is particularly important in writing paragraphs of cause and effect.
4)Using appropriate transitions
? Categorical(按类别顺序 )
You can also group the various factors into different categories (political, social, financial, personal, psychological, etc)and arrange them accordingly.
Causal analysis explains the cause-effect relationship between two or more subjects. Causes tell readers why something happened. For example, smoking causes lung cancer. (Smoking is one of the causes of lung cancer.)Effects are the results of something. For example, twelve thousand smokers die from lung cancer every year. (Lung cancer is one of the effects of smoking.)
2. When we write, we had better put the important cause or effect at the beginning of the paragraph.
3. Use some words or phrases that used for discussing cause and effect when it is necessary.

The former organization would build to a climax, while the latter organization would present the strongest factor first to impress the reader.
Characteristics
Sound reasoning or logic is naturally the most important quality of any causal analysis. But it is not always easy to explain causes and effects clearly and logically. One reason for this is that an effect may have many causes and a cause may have many effects. So we must be thorough in our discussion and careful in our selection of details.
