字號(hào):

轉(zhuǎn)折詞及因果詞定位原則:
    1)故事的突然轉(zhuǎn)折及其原因肯定是短文的答案
    2)轉(zhuǎn)折及原因往往由But-so(結(jié)果)或because(原因)組合
    或是其他轉(zhuǎn)折詞:instead、unfortunately,however、yet、one, the other或是on one hand-on the other hand組合,although, nevertheless
    其他因果詞since,the reasons is,as a result引導(dǎo)
    3)文章中偶爾也會(huì)將某一個(gè)but省讀,此時(shí)要注意自己搭建因果聯(lián)系
     When I was at school, my ambition was to be a pilot in the Air Force, but my eyesight wasn't good enough, so I had to give up that idea. I went to university and studied physics. I wanted to stay on there and do research but my father died about that time so I thought I had better get a job and earn my living. I started working an engineering firm.
     I expected to stay in that job for a long time, but then they appointed a new managing director. I didn't get on with him, so I resigned and applied for a job with another engineering company. I would certainly have accepted the job if they had offered it to me, but on my way to the interview I met a friend who was working for a travel agency. He offered me a job in Spain and I have always liked Spain, so I took it.
     I worked in the travel agency for two years and then they wanted to send me to South America but I had just got married so I decided to stay here. Then we had a baby and I wasn't earning enough to support the family so I started giving English lessons at a school in the evenings.
     I liked English teaching more than working for the travel agency and then the owner of the school offered me a full-time job as a teacher so I resigned from the agency. Two years later, the owner of the school wanted to retire so he asked me to take over as the director. And here I am!
