SSP Moscow, Because, So, Even Though, Although

 By Nate Feldman

I wore a jacket because it is cold.

I am happy today because I am with you.

I learn so much because you are my teacher.

Because it is cold, I wore a jacket.

Because I am with you, I am happy.

Because you are my teacher, I learn so much.

You are my teacher, so I learn so much. 

I am back at ELS today, so I am very happy.

I went to the Aquarium, so I had a great Saturday.

I got a million dollars, so I bought a beautiful new house.

I went home because I was tired. 

The restaurant was good because the chef is very experienced.

The restaurant was good, so I will return again. 

Although you work hard, you are not going to pass this level.

Even though I slept one hour, I am filled with energy today.

Because you are nice, I trust you.

Even though you are nice, I don’t trust you. 

 

There was a team.  They trained and practiced so hard for the championship match.  Their practices were nearly perfect.  But, they lost the match by a lot.

*Even though the team trained and practiced so hard, they lost the match.

There was a team.  Before the match, they didn’t practice at all.  They played video games and watched Netflix series.  On the day of the match, they lost by a lot.

*Because they played video games and watched Netflix series, they lost the match. 

 

For discussion:

*Describe your life in Philly with these expressions.

Examples:

*I go to ELS, so my English is improving (I hope J)

*Even though I go to ELS, I am learning nothing (I hope not L) 

*Because I live in the dorm, I meet many friends there.

*Although they say Philly isn’t safe everywhere, I feel safe most of the time. (I hope J)

 

I bought a new coffee mug recently because I enjoy drinking coffee every day.  It’s very lightweight, so I don’t feel any stress carrying it with me.  So, I recommend this coffee mug for you. 

 

I bought a coffee mug recently.  Even though people said it was really good, it’s a piece of trash.  The mug breaks very easily, and the coffee tastes weird when you put it inside.  Because of these things, don’t buy it!

 

 

I bought a strap for my watch even though my friends said it was a waste of money.  But, I love it so much, so go out and get one now!

 

Even though I am writing a lot these days, I haven’t noticed a lot of improvement. 

Even though I bought milk yesterday, I have to go to the store to get new milk today. 

Even though I have seen that movie 50 times, I still want to see it again.
