Moreover, by adding connections judiciously, the writing flows more naturally rather than sounding like a list. ]]> 2021-12-17 12:43:51 UTC https://padlet.com/ninomoraes13/oeka1z3r3gr0xpi8/wish/1953622820 It means: MAS, APESAR DE, AO INVÉS DE, EMBORA. ninomoraes13 https://padlet.com/ninomoraes13/oeka1z3r3gr0xpi8/wish/1953628866 WORDS --> but/ however/ nevertheless/ yet/ in spite of/ despite/ rather than/ instead of/ although/ though/ even though
