π The 'Connective Tissue' of B2 English
To move from A2 (simple sentences) to B2 (flowing paragraphs), you need to stop using only and, but, and so. This text uses Transition Signposts to guide the reader.
πΊοΈ How the text maps information
Look at how the author organizes the sale categories. Instead of just listing items, they use these 'bridge words':
- For example / Specifically Used to zoom in from a big group (cleaning) to a specific product (Litter-Robot 4).
- Furthermore / Additionally These are 'Plus' words. They signal that the writer is adding a new, important point without starting a completely new topic.
- Finally The signal that the list is ending.
π οΈ The B2 Upgrade Path
If you want to sound more professional, replace your basic A2 words with these B2 alternatives found in the text:
| A2 (Basic) | B2 (Advanced) | Context from Text |
|---|---|---|
| Also | Furthermore | "Furthermore, the event highlights..." |
| Also | Additionally | "Additionally, the sale includes..." |
| Like | Such as | "...such as Hill's Science Diet food" |
| Give | Offer | "...offering lower prices" |
Pro Tip: Use 'Furthermore' when you want to persuade someone or make a formal argument. It carries more 'weight' than 'also'.
