I'm looking for tips to improve my Chinese writing; especially when it comes to writing short essays. I have been recieveing unsatisfactory marks, in this particular area, in a Chinese course I'm currently undertaking.
What kind of transition words do you consider essential for Chinese essay writing? The ones I use the most are as follows:
Words showing contrast - 但,可是,但是,然而,不过,则,另外,另一方面
Words for illustration - 首先,其次,再次,例如,比如,譬如,其实,事实上
Continuation - 此外,另外,并且,而且,还有
Conclusion - 最后,从而,于是,因此,总结来说
What other transition words or sentence structures do you think should be used in well-written Chinese essays or articles?
