due to + noun; be due to + noun (= be caused by); due to the fact that + clause
- The flight was delayed due to strong winds over the Alps.
- Due to staff shortages, the library will close at six this week.
- Most of our extra costs were due to rising energy prices.
修改原因
修改前The lesson was cancelled due to the teacher was ill.
修改后The lesson was cancelled because the teacher was ill.
Due to 与 because 意思接近，因此容易在后面接完整从句：due to the teacher was ill。但 due to 后面要接名词，例如 due to illness。如果后面是 the teacher was ill 这样的完整从句，就需要 because。
Be due to + 动词是另一种意思，表示预计或按计划将要发生：The train is due to arrive at six 谈的是时刻安排，不是原因。对比 The delay was due to snow，这句话才是在说延误由雪造成。
动手练习
Our train arrived two hours late ___ a signal failure near Leeds.
查看答案
due to — 空格后面的 a signal failure 是名词短语，没有动词，所以 due to 合适。Because 需要完整从句：because there was a signal failure。
给同事或同学写一则简短通知，说明什么安排变了，以及原因。用 due to 引出原因。
Due to repairs on the second floor, Thursday's seminar will take place in Room 12.
