Also, listen for verbs such as like and don’t like . Sometimes a speaker’s tone (excited, bored, upset, etc.) can help you know what their opinion is. A friendly EMAIL LINKING SENTENCES: BECAUSE AND SO We use the words because and so to link ideas. We use because to give a reason, and so to give a result. Nice to hear from you. You asked me about interesting things to see and do in my city. Here are some ideas. I suggest you go to a soccer match 1 I know you love sports. Buy tickets online before you arrive 2 they aren’t as expensive as on the day of the match. Also, try to visit the National Museum 3 you can learn about our history. And, finally, take a boat ride on the river. Go in the evening 4 you can enjoy the city lights. It’s a fantastic way to end the day. Those are just three ideas. I have more if you want them.
