LINKING PARAGRAPHS TOGETHER
|
Each new paragraph begins with a phrase that links it to the previous paragraph, in order to maintain continuity of argument:
|
|
- Despite this (i.e. the lack of a conclusive link)
|
|
- All these claims (i.e. arguments in favour of the previous idea)
|
|
In order to begin a new topic you may use:
|
|
- Turning to the issue of . . .
|
|
- Some (points,elements,arguments…)must also be examined . . .
|
|
- . . . is another area for consideration
|
|
Paragraphs can also be introduced with adverbs:
|
|
- Traditionally, few examples were . . .
|
|
- Finally, the performance of . . .
|
|
The following expressions make up links and connectors accounting for
|
|
a). Conjuncting
|
|
b). Adjuncting
|
|
c). Correlating
|
|
d). Opposing
|
|
e). Orientating
|
|
f). Coordinating
|
|
g). Determining

Ex 3.35 Analyze the text and say what linking phrases are used to maintain continuity of argument.
For the last years, during the high energy efficient requirements buildings projects design, there were implemented the significant variety of approaches.
Also, the spectrum of dependencies was recognized but the subject of the shape generation still was passed over, which is eventually the governing factor.
As a rule, for the designers the critical factor is the town planning conditions, while one may optimize the outdoor climate conditions impact on the building thermal balance by developing the correspondent building shape.
At once, the obvious scientific and methodological information scarcity in building design, shape development for energy efficiency, etc.
So, the advantage of variational principles in the design of the walling is evident. Thus, it allows to choose the building shape with the constant value of heat loss per length unit more accurately.
