Why practice Contrast (despite/in spite of/however) exercises?

Expressing contrast and concession is essential for B1–B2 writing and speaking. Start with 'despite' and 'in spite of' to master concession with prepositions, then move on to sentence-level connectors like 'however' and 'nevertheless'. Finally, practise transforming between all three structures — although (conjunction), despite (preposition), and however (adverb) — to build flexibility and accuracy in academic and everyday English.
