Выводы:
| 1. Соединить два простых предложения в одно сложное можно с помощью особого типа наречий – коннекторов (linking adjuncts ). Коннектор играет в предложении обособленную роль, поэтому он часто отделен запятой от остального предложения. Young people are absorbed in games without speaking to each other for a long time. Moreover, many of them do not play outside. 2. Существуют коннекторы, которые сообщают, что они добавляют информацию ( moreover (более того), furthermore (далее), further (далее), besides (кроме того), anyway (во всяком случае), indeed действительно), also (а также) ). Коннекторы first ( firstly), second ( secondly), then , next являются перечисляющими. Когда перечислены все факторы, и вы достигаете конца списка употребляется коннектор finally. Computer games have been criticised for quite some time over a whole range of issues. First, some people say they are overly violent and encourage violent behaviour particularly in children. Secondly, they make children hyperactive, unsociable and are bad for their eyes. Thirdly, some have even attributed falling standards of literacy and a lack of interest in reading on them. Finally, it seems that computer games have also become a feminist issue. |
