(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 discourse markers, the connections between sentences and paragraphs in a text would be less obvious.
Contrast
Adding

Emphasis
Concession
Order of events

Reason: since, as, because
Result: therefore, as a result, consequently, accordingly
Emphasis: indeed, above all
Order of events: first, second, next
Time: as soon as, meanwhile
Giving examples: for example, such as

Discussion
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.
homework

2. Finish P40 Build up your vocabulary.
