Cause and Effect Relationships
📖 Read the passage carefully:
It had been raining heavily all morning, so the school field was covered in muddy puddles. The Year 4 class was disappointed because their sports day had to be postponed. Mrs. Chen decided to cheer everyone up by organising indoor games instead.
During the games, Tom was running too fast around the corner and slipped on the polished floor. He wasn't hurt, but his knee was a bit sore. The teacher reminded everyone to walk carefully inside the classroom.
Meanwhile, Sarah had forgotten her lunch at home because she had rushed out the door that morning. Her friend Emma noticed Sarah looked sad and kindly shared half of her sandwich. This made Sarah smile, and the two friends enjoyed their lunch together.
