                      the show started.   You can get the money though there is a 
                      certain condition.  When eating breakfast, he reads the newspaper.  He is capable, though young.  I cannot tolerate his smoking where it 
                      is prohibited.  Where there is a will, there is a way.  There is no reason why I have to be a doctor 
                      just because my father is one.  (Just) because he has lived in the US, 
                      it does not follow that he is good at English.  I respect him not because he is rich but 
                      because he is kind to everybody. Partly because he made great efforts and 
                      partly because his wife devotedly helped him, he made a 
                      success in his new enterprise.≒ What with his great efforts and what with his wife's devoted 
                      help, he made a success in his new enterprise.
