Definitions, examples, techniques, and tips

Definitions  
- **Logical Vocabulary**: Words used to express relationships between ideas, such as cause and effect, to strengthen arguments and reasoning.  
- **Cause**: A word or phrase that indicates the reason or origin of an effect.  
- **Effect**: A word or phrase that indicates the result or outcome of a cause.

Examples  
- "Due to the weather, the event was postponed." → "Because of the weather, the event was delayed." (Cause → Because of the weather, Effect → delayed)  
- "He missed the bus, so he arrived late." → "He missed the bus; therefore, he arrived late." (Cause → missed the bus, Effect → arrived late)  
- "She was tired, so she went to bed early." → "She was tired, thus she went to bed early." (Cause → tired, Effect → went to bed early)

Techniques  
1. Use cause words like "because," "due to," and "since" to clearly express reasons.  
2. Use effect words like "therefore," "hence," and "as a result" to explain outcomes.
3. Practice identifying the relationship between ideas in sentences and use precise vocabulary to convey logical connections.

Quick Learning Tips  
- Be mindful of the words used to show relationships. Words like "therefore" or "thus" are often used to indicate conclusions or results.

- Avoid redundancy by using the most specific and appropriate words to explain logical connections.
