Discourse Connectors
Move beyond single sentences with actually, in addition, and for example.
Pattern
其实 / 另外 / 比如 + clause
Use connectors to guide the listener through your point.
其实我不太喜欢这个办法。
When to use Discourse Connectors
其实 introduces a clarification or contrast with expectation. 另外 adds another point. 比如 introduces examples that make a point concrete.
另外，我们还需要时间。
In addition, we still need time.
我喜欢运动，比如跑步和游泳。
I like exercise, for example running and swimming.
关于这个方面，我还有一个问题。
Regarding this aspect, I have another question.
其实他已经决定了。
Actually, he has already decided.
Common traps
- Do not use connectors as filler if the relation is unclear.
- 比如 should be followed by a real example.
- 另外 adds another point; 然后 orders time.
