I would like you to write 5 paragraph cause and effect essay based on the following information.
The topic that I have chosen is that I have decided to study in the United States.
Introduction
Body paragraph 1. Reason 1: I made this decision because I failed the entrance exams of my preferred university in Japan.
2. Reason 2:Taking college education in the United States had been my wish since I was in junior high school.
3. Reason 3: I wanted to get interacted with people who go through a different culture and live in a new country.
Conclusion: My decision has affected my life positively. In the beginning, when I came to this country, I could not express what I thought and had trouble talking with American students and taking classes in English. But I have gotten over a lot of setbacks, and now I make friends with many American students. Also, I set the goal of transferring to UCLA, and I am studying Business Administration to achieve the goal in a community college.
Prompt:
(750-1000 words)
You will write an essay where you use cause and effect development to show how making a decision has caused a particular effect. Your sources will be memory and observation.
Write a personal essay about a particular decision you have made: for example, to join a club, to try out for a team, to break up a relationship, to give up a bad habit, to go to college, to major in a particular course of study, to join a church, to join one of the Armed Services, to marry, to have children, etc. Choose one that you have made that you would like to write about. In your essay you will analyze the main causes behind your decision: the reasons why you chose to do what you did. Each body paragraph will analyze (explain, describe, discuss) one reason for your decision. You will need three contributory causes (3 body paragraphs). The causes have to be in the past–before you made the decision.
Use personal narrative to give background information about the situation.
Example: If your decision was to give up smoking, your introductory paragraph might discuss when you began smoking and why, how many years you smoked, and so forth. This background could logically lead into a thesis statement (last sentence of the introductory paragraph) like this: “However, two years ago I decided to give up smoking.” Or your introductory paragraph could discuss the results of a decision you made several years ago. You could describe and discuss, for example, your happy family today. This could lead into a thesis statement (last sentences of the introductory paragraph) like one of these: “Twelve years ago I accepted John’s proposal to become Mrs. John Smith,” or “In 1985 I asked Susan to become my wife.” The thesis statement can be a short, simple statement of “I decided to…”
Topic sentences

I started to write introduction a little, so I would like you to write after the following sentences and also you can change or edit it.
It takes a lot of courage to live in a new environment. It is not easy to get used to a new environment or community. This is because you may face linguistic, cultural and racial differences in a new place. I was born and raised in Japan. I had never experienced different cultures and interacted with people who went through different cultures until I came to this country.
