Before starting out, they spent a couple of days in Vancouver, seeing the sights. During their first day, as is typical of Vancouver, it rained. Despite the weather, they were able to take a boat ride out into the bay, and later visit an island that had wonderful shops selling crafts and antiques. The next day was clear and mild, and they were pleased to see the beautiful mountains looking out over the city. Later, they took a pleasant hike in a forest just a short distance away.

Discourse markers are also known as “linking words”. 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.
