1. Read the paragraph and write below the Cause and Consequence that is found in it.
In recent decades, cities have grown so large that now about 50% of the Earth's
increasing industrialization of the nineteenth century resulted in the creation of many factory jobs, which tended to
be located in cities. These jobs, with their promise of a better material life, attracted many people
There were many schools established to educate the children of the new factory laborers. The promise of a better
education persuaded many families to leave farming communities and move to the cities. As the cities grew, people
established places of leisure, entertainment, and culture, such as sports stadiums, theaters, and museums. For many
people, these facilities made city life appear more interesting than life on the farm, and therefore drew them away
from rural communities.
