# Learn the sentence
The reason we had to use two lanes was because swim practice was at the same time as the Water Jazz class.
这个句子的结构：the reason + sentence + be because... at the same time as something. 而结构的前半部分：the reason...is because的because是多余的累赘，但是人们还是习惯用。at the same time as/that后面通常接句子，这个词组就显示为一个连词词组。有时候as / that被人们省略，则at the same time 既是连词词组也是副词词组，届时要注意分别，此处是明确写了at the same as.
【造句】The reason I studied English day in and day out was because English studying was at the same time as seeing the outside world.

But it was a disaster for Greg to squeeze in the back of van. Greg went to school the first day and found that people stayed away thirty-feet of him because of the CHEEZE TOUCH. He was luckily enough to pass it on the new-comer Jeremy Pindle.
*Diary*
Yesterday, I came to meet my best friend Jane and had a good day with her. We have been getting along with each other over 8 years. I thought we would not stay in the same city after high school. But luckily we spent more 4 years together in the college. She is independent , has a good taste in movies, books and musics.I firmly believe her recommendations and therefore I have found more pleasure in learning English. Besides her major in college is English Literature as mine. She told me that she was going to learn French next month. Whenever she makes a decision, she will go to every lengths to complete it. I am expecting her good news.
