Simple summary:
Example:
I read an article about Uniqlo reported in The Japan Times Newspaper. It was published on June 10, 2014. According to the article, Uniqlo will raise its prices by 5% this year.  It also said that it was the first time that prices would be raised since the company started in 1984.
The president of Uniqlo said that prices would start to be raised from July. The article said that there were two reasons for raising prices: first, because of the rising cost of raw materials needed to make Uniqlo goods, and second, because the yen has been weakening.
I think                                          because                                              .
