The feedback on exercise B: Linking expressions
In clip III you can find an expression to persuade and convince your audience which begins as follows: It may seem to you I am going off on a little bit of a tangent…etc., followed by a transitional device to give an opinion: Nevertheless I think that Claude Steele’s works serves as a sort of a benchmark…etc. The last linking expression in this clip serves to clarify a point and begins as follows: Okay, it may also, however, be valid to point out now that…etc. Expressions this long are obviously a bit difficult to find in the corpus, but if you make searches in the corpus on the useful expressions listed in the table, you will get some good search results!
