In our last year vacation, we went to Acapulco. Firstly, we went to the airport to buy
our tickets. In there we have some trouble, one lady got really crazy for losing her
flight. As soon as the situation was under control, we bought our tickets for our flight,
it leave in three hours, so we had to wait. Meanwhile we went to eat something in the
town. We arrive to the airport half an hour before our flight left. Next we went to the
customs, and a while later we stand ready to get up the stairs. Just when we were
aboarding, someone yelled “Bomb!” and everyone get off the plane. It was just a false
alarm and finally we left an hour later.

En nuestra vacaciones el año pasado, fuimos a Acapulco. Primeramente fuimos al

aeropuerto a comprar los boletos. Ahí hubo un problema porque una señora se puso como
loca porque perdió su vuelo. Tan pronto como todo estuvo bajo control, compramos los
boletos para un vuelo tres horas después, así que tuvimos que esperar. Mientras
tanto fuimos a comer al centro. Llegamos nuevamente al aeropuerto media hora antes
de que saliera nuestro vuelo. A continuación pasamos a la aduana y un rato
después estábamos listos para subir las escaleras. Apenas habíamos abordado, alguien
grito “¡Una bomba!” y todos bajamos del avión. Solo fue una falsa alarma y finalmente
salimos una hora tarde.

Causa: because/ because of (porque)

Therefore(por lo tanto/entonces)
Since (puesto/ ya que)
as a result of, as a consecuence (por eso/como resultado/como consecuencia)
in order to (para / con tal de)

Ejemplo:
I don’t like going to the beach in the summer because it’s always crowded. As a
result,sometimes people are sitting very close. Therefore, you can listen to their
conversations. You can even smell their sunscreen lotion. In order to avoid the crowd,
I go to the beach after 6pm.
