Why practice Discourse Markers exercises?
Discourse markers are the signposts that guide readers and listeners through your ideas. At B1 level, learn to signal addition, result, and purpose clearly. At B2, master sequencing and summarising markers for essays and presentations, and choose between formal and informal registers — saying 'furthermore' in academic writing but 'also' in conversation. These linking words are tested in Cambridge B1 Preliminary and B2 First exams.
