She was late because of the traffic

THAT'S WHY

OREO - Evidence (Bewijs)

- Prove your reason by giving evidence 

"The author says (REASON)" 

- You can also use quotation marks! 

Dit betekent dat je letterlijk een zin overneemt uit de tekst en het tussen "" zet. 

For example: "Bunnies have cute noses and large ears" - Het wordt genoemd in de film en is dus waar!

OREO - Opinion (again!)
