How is the text organized
In time and space order.
Summarize the structure
By discourse markers.
Underline the discourse markers
Discourse markers are more commonly known as “linking words”. They are used to show relationships between ideas. Relationships can range from adding sth. (e.g., also, besides, additionally), to showing contrast (e.g., however, on the other hand), to explaining a reason (e.g., because, since), or to showing a result (e.g., therefore, as
a result). Without discourse markers, the connections between sentences and paragraphs in a text would be less obvious.

Emphasis
Concession

Contrast: however, on the other hand, while, by contrast
Reason: since, as, because
Result: therefore, as a result, consequently, accordingly
Emphasis: indeed, above all
Order of events: first, second, next
Time: as soon as, meanwhile
Giving examples: for example, such as
Comparing: similarly, likewise
Concluding: to conclude, in summary
1. however
2. since
3. when
4. in addition to
5. in fact
6. later
7. eventually
A. to add something
B. to show contrast
C. to explain a reason
D. to show an end
point in time
E. to show time
F. to emphasise
G. to describe the
order of events
Read the article again. Match each of these discourse markers with the correct purpose.(p.39)
