Discuss& Share
Use discourse markers to show relationships
Discourse markers are also known as “linking words”. They are used to show relationships between ideas. such as:
to add something (e.g. also, besides, additionally)
to show contrast (e.g. however, on the other hand)
to explain a reason (e.g. because, since)
to show a result ( e.g. therefore, as a result)
Without discourse markers, the connections between sentences and paragraphs would be less obvious.

语篇标记词
1 however A to add something
2 since B to show contrast
3 when C to explain a reason
4 in addition to D to show an end point in time
5 in fact E to show time
6 later F to emphasize
7 eventually G to describe the order of events
Read the article again and underline the discourse markers
Read the article again. Match each of these discourse markers with the correct purpose.
Without discourse markers, the connections between sentences and paragraphs would be less obvious.

What can travel bring to us
By traveling, not only can we relieve one’s pressures of life and work, but also broaden our horizon/ open our eyes.
Meanwhile, we have chances to enjoy the beautiful scenery in different places and experience different cultures.
Travelling much，we will not only enrich our knowledge and experiences，but also be aware of the vastness of nature.
From my aspect, we can make many friends and widen our social circle.

Before starting out, they spent a couple of days in Vancouver, seeing the sights. During their first day, as is typical of Vancouver, it rained. Despite the weather, they were able to take a boat ride out into the bay, and later visit an island that had wonderful shops selling crafts and antiques. The next day was clear and mild, and they were pleased to see the beautiful mountains looking out over the city. Later they took a pleasant hike in a forest just a short distance away.

Tip 2: Picture the scenery/imagination and go into details
—— to show not just to tell.
The peaceful landscape is a true feast for the eyes, with its rolling green hills dotted with goats and deer.
Down by the lake, the sound of rippling water and chirp of the seabirds literally make up the music of the bay.

Assignment
The rail journey across the vast land really makes a difference to me. While I spent only a few hours in Toronto, an economic centre of Canada, it has left a profound impression on me. (topic sentence) It is a city with breath-taking natural scenery, where I admired the astonishing shores of Lake Ontario and misty clouds rising from the Great Niagara Falls. After that, I got a chance to witness the modern buildings and old-fashioned cars speeding by at the same time, glancing the combination of traditions and advance of this city. At dusk, we met your old friend Lin Fei over dinner in downtown Chinatown, the largest one in Toronto. Not only did she take us to taste delicious Chinese food, but she also introduced a lot about the Chinatown to us .
It is in Toronto that we felt at home with tasting Chinese food and meeting Chinese people. It also allowed me to appreciate the works served by nature as well as made by humans in one city. If I have another chance to travel to Toronto, I will definitely plan more time on it to have a better visit.
