They are used to show relationships between ideas. Relationships can range from adding something(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 them, the connections between sentences and paragraphs would be less obvious.Use discourse markers(语篇标记词) to show relationships More examples of discourse markers:Adding: also, beside, additionally, moreoverContrast: however, on the other hand, while, by contrastReason: since, as, becauseResult: therefore, as a result, consequently, accordinglyEmphasis: indeed, above allOrder of events: first, second, nextTime: as soon as, meanwhileGiving examples: for example, such asComparing: similarly
