They are used to show relationships between ideas. Relationships can range from adding sth. (e.g., also, besides, additio
23、nally), 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, asa result).

One of the questions are：Who will you go in times of trouble? Here are the results. Many students say they will talk to their friend or

In my opinion, where in trouble, we should seek help from those we trust mostly.istofriendstheirfewtalkingmostwhenkeep
