Complete with words from the box: In addition, but, However and Moreover
Ответ:
Here is the completed text:
My favourite website is MySpace. It's a great place for teenagers to share journals, pictures and poems. I've used MySpace since last year, **in addition** I've made lots of friends online.
An advantage of MySpace is that you can write your own profile. **Moreover**, you can add pictures or videos. An interesting feature is the emoticons. You can use them to show how you feel. **In addition**, you can also see how the people you are writing to are feeling.
**However**, a disadvantage of MySpace is that you can spend too much time online.
In conclusion, MySpace is a great website, **but** it isn't a good idea to spend hours and hours on it!
**Explanation:**
* **(a) In addition:** This word is used to add another piece of information to what was previously mentioned. The speaker has listed the benefits of using the MySpace. The phrase 'I've made lots of friends online' adds on to this.
* **(b) Moreover:** This is used to add more information, specifically another benefit. The phrase 'you can add pictures or videos' adds further functionality of the social platform and is a logical step after the text talks about the user profile.
* **(c) In addition:** The phrase before this uses the word 'emoticons' to indicate something that the user is adding as feature. The phrase ' you can also see how the people you are writing to are feeling', also indicates that this adds further functionality to social platform and thus is a logical next step with the previous context.
* **(d) However:** This word is used to show a contrasting idea. The text is shifting from advantages to a disadvantage. Thus, 'However' helps present the contrary point about time management.
* **(e) but:** The word 'but' is used to present a contrasting idea. The text already said that 'MySpace is a great website' and it now says 'it isn't a good idea'. These ideas are contradictory and need a word to indicate the contrary statement.
This task is about using linking words to form a logical and well-structured text. All the connecting words were used to provide additional ideas or to show the contrast between the ideas.
