E

I thought I can use fan guo lai shuo ((in another words))?

45

T

Do you mean use fan guo lai shuo in your paragraph? Any reasons that you think ran er ((however)) does not fit in your article?

46

E

Does fan guo lai shuo have similar meaning as ran er?

47

T

Yes, they do. Ran er and fan guo lai shuo have similar meanings

48

T

((turn to Kai)) So you suggest he can use transitional words. Where can he put those transitional words?

49

K

Huh…if this is his thesis statement, the transitional words should put here. If he describes more sentences after transitional words, then the turn is not clear.

50

T

I found one problem. Here. fan guo lai shuo he wrote as *fan ((another Chinese character))

51

T

Here, this word, do you mean fan guo lai shuo?

52

K

((gesture to show understanding))

53

E

Huh yeah, maybe I type it wrong

54

T

If you mean fan guo lai shuo, your turning structure could be much clear.
