Contoh Soal Identify ways of adding ideas in a discussion
Contoh Soal Identify ways of adding ideas in a discussion - You have already learnt that during a spoken discussion or a while discussing ideas in a paper there are some tools that help you make your line of thought flow more coherently. Part of those tools are transitional words, those expressions which act as signposts to clarify the purpose you have in stating a certain idea. As you have also seen, transitional words provide a frame for organization in your speech and they also guide the reader to follow your ideas.
Transitional words can be classified into different categories, and some of them can be placed under more than one heading. In this lesson you will revise language that signals addition of ideas.
The expressions we will revise can be used in academic and work-related situations (both written and spoken) as well as in everyday life. As you have learnt, there are some expressions that are most appropriate for written expression than for spoken language, and there are different levels of formality. You have to keep in mind the medium of your message (whether it is spoken or written) and the audience (the people you are addressing the message to) when you choose the expressions to be used.
