Transitions 1 情報を付け足す

Image Credit

情報を付け足す時、シンプルに "and" や "in addition" を使う事も出来ますが、それだけですと単調になり、洗練された文章になりません。このレッスンでは様々な表現を駆使し、自然に情報を付け足すことに焦点を当てます。トピックは教育です。

Introduction

In this lesson, we are going to work on using different phrases to add points, give further examples or make short lists.

Warm Up

Did you go to university? What did you study? Why did you choose that? Try to think of at least three reasons.

Language

Please consider each transition phrase. Your instructor has an example and a question regarding each one. Remember, the goal is to smoothly use the transition phrase, not to give a long answer.

[Point A, and B.] Furthermore, [point C]. — This adds another item to a list of points.
[Full sentence], and what's more, [full sentence]. — This emphasizes both points.
[Full sentence], and on top of that, [full sentence]. — This also emphasizes both points.
In addition to being [adjective], it is/was also [adjective]. — This prepares the listener for another adjective after the first one is stated.
[Subject] is not only [adjective], but also [adjective]. — This prepares the listener for two adjectives that don't necessarily go together.
