语篇标记词
Discourse markers are more commonly known as “linking words”. They are used to show relationships between ideas. Such as :
1.adding sth. (e.g., also, besides, additionally),
2. showing contrast (e.g., however, on the other hand),
3.explaining a reason (e.g., because, since), 4.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.
however
since
when
in addition to
in fact
later
eventually
to add something
to show contrast
to explain a reason
to show an end point in time

Match the discourse markers with the correct purpose

Reach a level you have never been to.
Neglect those pressure, anxiety, worries.
