How to Make Your Writing Really Beautiful - Part 2

Já publicada a parte 1 de How to Make Your Writing Really Beautiful, segue aqui a continuação. Esse post havia sido publicado há 5 anos atrás, mas eu o revisei e estou republicando-o, por isso manterei a explicação no idioma original. Dúvidas, deixem comentários.

This time, I'll show you some conjunctions that are used to express a "but" relation.

At any rate > whatever happens or even something you say that you are going to say something more exactly

• Well, I won't go home by bus, at any rate.
• I'm not sure if they liked my project. At any rate, some of them went out from room without I could finish it. 

However > Adverb. It means despite this

• I'm thinking about taking a Philosophy course. However, Astronomy looks fascinating.
• He bought a new video game, however, he's thinking about saving money to buy the Playstation 4.

On the other hand > It used when you are comparing two different facts or two opposite ways of thinking

• I'd like to stay at home because it's comfortable, but on the other hand I'd like to go out with my friends tonight. What should I do?
• I like my job, but on the other hand I need another one which pays more.

Although > Conjunction. Despite the fact that, or but

• I decided to leave home for work earlier, although the weather is really bad.
• Although I have spent most part of my money on a new blouse, I saved something to have dinner with my friend tonight.

And there are other conjunctions such as: actually, anyhow, as a matter of fact, even so,, even though, in spite of this/that, nevertheless, on the contrary.
Next step, I'll show you more words to emphasize the best writing. I hope to have helped you all.
