Write the following sentences on the board:I like oranges and apples.
I like oranges. However, I hate apples.
Elicit that the first sentence is an example of adding using
and, and the second pair of sentences are an example of
contrasting using however.
•

Furthermore, + clause (idea 2)
Besides, + noun (idea 1), (clause) (idea 2)
clause (idea 2) + too clause (idea 2) + as well
What’s more + clause (idea 2)
clause (idea 2) + also
In addition, + clause (idea 2) Moreover, + clause (idea 2)
Contrasting ideas:
even though + clause (idea 1), clause (contrasting idea 2) in spite of + noun (idea 1), clause (idea 2)
despite + -ing (idea 1), clause (contrasting idea 2) although + clause (idea 1), clause (contrasting idea 2)
clause (idea 1); however, + clause (contrasting idea 2)
while + clause (idea 1), clause (contrasting idea 2)
clause (idea 1), whereas + clause (contrasting idea 2) clause (idea 1), no matter what + noun (contrasting idea 2) … is less about + noun (idea 1), and more about + noun (idea 2)

supermarket and I’ve got into the habit of refusing if anybody offers to help. Instead I just walk away, which I suppose is a bit rude. At home, we’ve got a footstool I can stand on, and if I’m really desperate, I can use my dad’s ladder, but I can’t really take that with me every time I go shopping, can I?

I’m extremely self-conscious about my teeth and you’ll never see me showing them in a photo. I guess a brace would help, but that would mean going to an orthodontist, and I’m not doing that. The problem is my front teeth, which have grown at a strange angle. I suppose I shouldn’t complain, really, because they don’t make it difficult for me to do practical things, like eating, for example. They just make me feel awkward when other people are around. Apparently, this can happen if you suck your thumb when you’re little, but I never did that. Whatever the reason is, I’d just like a brand new set of teeth!

I’d really like to trade in my right ankle for a new one. They say that it’s usually bad habits that cause physical problems, but my injury happened while I was doing exercise. I’m a long-distance runner, you see, and I used to compete professionally; that is, until I hurt my ankle. It was an internal injury, so you couldn’t see any scars or anything. The problem wasn’t diagnosed properly though, so I started running on it again, not realizing that I was causing some fairly extensive damage to the bone. Now the bone has deteriorated and I’m stuck with a limp. At least I can still walk, I suppose.

I got used to biting my nails when I was very small, and now they are really short. I always tell myself to stop, and I will sometimes for a week or so, but I always go back to biting them. I do it so much that the skin around my nails is all torn and ugly and the ends of my fingers just look a mess. I don’t bite them because there’s anything wrong with them or anything; I do it subconsciously. And my problem doesn’t prevent me from doing anything – except getting the lid off the jam! I’d really like to have beautiful hands, like the ones in the adverts on TV, but I can’t see that happening until my nails grow.
