Видеоурок
Во время подготовки к международных языковым экзаменам, таким как IELTS и TOEFL, необходимо четко понимать, какому уровню соответствует употребление того или иного коннектора (слова-связки в английском языке) в предложении. В связи с этим, чем выше балл вы хотите набрать, тем сложнее коннекторы должны употребляться, как при сдаче устной части экзамена, так и при написании письма, эссе и т.д. Обратите особое внимание на приведенные ниже сгруппированные слова-связки по уровням сложности.
Уровни сложности коннектеров
