Attention à bien utiliser

ce vocabulaire de façon logique

pour développer vos arguments

et relancer votre discours :

 

par exemple,

moreover (de plus)

s'utilise pour

ajouter un argument.

 

moreover

ne doit pas être confondu avec

however

(toutefois, cependant),

qui permet de reprendre

l'énoncé précédent

et de le nuancer / relativiser.

 

 

 

Attention aussi

à ne pas abuser

des connecteurs logiques...

 

Si vous utilisez

ces adverbes

de façon systématique,

cela peut alourdir

votre propos.
