语篇标记词
Discourse markers are more commonly known as “linking words”. They are used to show relationships between ideas. Relationships can range from adding sth. (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.

Emphasis
Concession
Order of events

Reason: since, as, because
Result: therefore, as a result, consequently, accordingly

Order of events: first, second, next
Time: as soon as, meanwhile
Giving examples: for example, such as
Comparing: similarly, likewise
Concluding: to conclude, in summary
1. however
2. since
3. when
4. in addition to
5. in fact
6. later

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.
Complete the graphic organizer and then retell the text according to it.
2. Finish P40 Build up your vocabulary.
