Analysing Causes: 究其原因, 归根到底

Small independent shops are disappearing from your city's old town. Write a short analytical report (200–400 characters) for the city council tracing the causes, from the obvious ones to the root cause, and saying where action should start.

  • Cause-analysis frames: 究其原因, 归根到底 / 归根结底, 根源在于
  • Surface causes separated from deeper ones (表面上看…,然而…)
  • Data or concrete observations
  • A recommendation that follows from the root cause

Pick with a tap, a number key or Space. A Chinese keyboard on your device works in the box below too.
