解說
〜し、〜し lists two or more points that go in the same direction, with the feeling of "and what's more." Use it to list good (or bad) qualities of a person or thing (安いし、おいしいし) or to give several reasons for a conclusion. The particle も is often used with it (お金もないし、時間もないし). A single し suggests that there are other reasons too. In polite speech, 〜ますし and 〜ですし are also possible.
例句
この 店は 安いし、おいしいし、よく 来ます。
This restaurant is cheap, and the food is good too, so I come here often.
今日は 雨だし、寒いし、どこへも 行きたくないです。
It's rainy today, and it's cold too, so I don't want to go anywhere.
田中先生は 親切だし、英語も 話せるし、とても いい 先生です。
Tanaka-sensei is kind and can speak English too, so Tanaka-sensei is a very good teacher.
雨も 降って いるし、今日は 家で 映画を 見ませんか。
It's raining, for one thing, so why don't we watch a movie at home today?
注意
な-adjectives and nouns need だ (not 便利し but 便利だし). Usually the points listed go in the same direction; mixing a good point and a bad point (この店は安いし、おいしくないし) sounds unnatural.

小測驗
1この アパートは 駅から （ ）、新しいし、とても いいです。
答案與解析
答案: 1 近いし
"This apartment is close to the station, and it's new too, so it's very good." An い-adjective takes し directly in its plain form: 近いし. だ is not added to an い-adjective, and the い cannot be dropped or changed to く.
2佐藤さんは 歌も （ ）、ピアノも 弾けるし、すごいですね。
答案與解析
答案: 3 上手だし
"Sato-san is good at singing and can play the piano too. Amazing, isn't it?" 上手 is a な-adjective, so だ is needed before し: 上手だし. し cannot attach directly to 上手, and な or の is not used here.
3この 町は 静かだし、物も 安いし、（ ）。
答案與解析
答案: 4 ずっと ここに 住みたいです
"This town is quiet, and things are cheap too, so I want to live here for a long time." 〜し、〜し lists good points here, so the conclusion must match them. The other three choices are negative conclusions and do not fit the reasons.
