2. Because there were not many books, few people learnt to read.
3. These machines are smaller and lighter than books, so they are easy to carry.
as a result
as a result “因此,结果”,表示后面句子与前面句子所表达的内容构成因果关系,前面是因后面是果。它与so可以进行转换。如:
Tony got up late that morning. As a result, he didn’t catch the first bus.
= Tony got up late that morning, so he didn’t catch the first bus.
because
because是连词,引导原因状语从句。because +句子可以直接回答以why开头的特殊疑问句。

Ask and answer the questions. Write full sentences with as a result, because or so.

【写作指导】
1. 定基调
体裁:说明文
时态:一般过去时及一般将来时
人称:第三人称
2. 列提纲、写句子
3. 巧衔接
because, as a result和so是常见的表示原因和结果的衔接词语。如在开篇点题时,可用表示原因的连词 because来连接两个句子。
4. 成篇章
It's hard to imagine a world without printing because we have so many printed things now. About 2,000 years ago, paper was first created in China. In those days, books were only produced one at a time by hand. As a result, few books were produced. Because there were not many books, few people had the chance to learn to read. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, printing was invented. After printing developed, books became cheaper, so more people learned to read. Today, the Internet is growing very fast. A much larger amount of information can be stored in more varied forms on the Internet than in books. So I think, in the future, books will probably be replaced by the Internet and printing will probably be a thing of the past.
