Signal words

See booklet you received

How can the signal words help you? 

Cause and result (consequently, as a result) 

Contrast (whereas, rather, on the other hand)

Enumeration (furthermore, in addition to) 

My advice

Choose a few of each category, study those, know them by ❤️

Base your choices on the practice exams not on what you find easiest, exams don't work that way
