Apa Itu Cause and Effect?

Sebelum masuk ke soal, kita ingat-ingat dulu ya. Cause and effect itu artinya sebab dan akibat. Dalam bahasa Indonesia, kita mengenalnya dengan hubungan sebab-akibat. Jadi, ada suatu peristiwa yang menjadi penyebab (cause), lalu memunculkan peristiwa lain sebagai hasilnya (effect).

Contoh sederhana: “Because it rained heavily, the football match was canceled.” Hujan deras jadi penyebabnya, dan pertandingan bola dibatalkan adalah akibatnya.

Biasanya, dalam soal-soal Bahasa Inggris, kalian diminta untuk:

• Menentukan mana cause dan mana effect dari sebuah kalimat

• Melengkapi kalimat rumpang dengan kata penghubung yang tepat

• Menggabungkan dua kalimat menjadi satu kalimat cause and effect

• Memahami paragraf dan menjawab pertanyaan tentang hubungan sebab-akibat di dalamnya

Kata penghubung yang sering dipakai antara lain: because, since, as, for, because of, due to, thanks to, as a result, therefore, thus, so, consequently, dan as a consequence.

Hati-hati, ya! Ada perbedaan antara because dan because of. Because diikuti oleh klausa (subject + verb), sedangkan because of diikuti oleh noun phrase atau kata benda.

Tips Mengerjakan Soal Cause and Effect

Biar makin jago, ada beberapa tips yang bisa kalian coba:

Pertama, selalu identifikasi mana yang menjadi sebab dan mana yang menjadi akibat. Kalau bingung, coba tanyakan “kenapa ini terjadi?” untuk menemukan cause, dan “apa yang terjadi setelahnya?” untuk menemukan effect.

Kedua, perhatikan kata setelah penghubung. Kalau ketemu because of, due to, thanks to, pastikan di belakangnya adalah kata benda atau frasa benda, bukan klausa lengkap.

Ketiga, banyak-banyak latihan soal dari berbagai sumber. Semakin sering berlatih, semakin cepat kalian mengenali pola soalnya.

Keempat, jangan ragu untuk membaca ulang teks atau kalimat sebelum menjawab. Teliti itu kunci.
