Use discourse markers to show relationships
Discourse markers are more commonly known as “linking words”. They are used to show relationships between ideas. Relationships can range from ①adding sth. (e.g., also, besides, additionally), to ②showing contrast (e.g., however, on the other hand), to ③explaining a reason (e.g., because, since), or to ④showing a result (e.g., therefore, as a result). Without discourse markers, the connections between sentences and paragraphs in a text would be less obvious.

Would you be interested in taking the same trip as Li Daiyu and Liu Qian Why or why not
I would love to take such a journey. It seems so wonderful and relaxing, and I would get to see so many beautiful sites.
2. How is a rail journey different from other forms of travel, such as by plane or car
A rail journey is different from a car journey in that with a car journey, if you see something interesting, you can stop and take a look.
A journey by plane will get you to your destination much faster than a trip by train or car. However, usually you cannot see much interesting things from a plane window, and a plane gives much less space and fewer opportunities to get up and walk around than a train.

What can travel bring to us
Deep thinking
What can travel bring to us
By traveling, we not only can relax ourselves 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, I think we can make many friends and broaden our social circle.
