Using contrast linkers (but, however, although) to
compare different ideas.
Although: to contrast two clauses in one sentence.
We can put although at the start of the first or the
second clause.
“Although she’s rich, she isn’t happy.
She’s rich, although / but she isn’t happy.
We can use however at the beginning of a sentence
to contrast it with the previous sentence.
She’s rich. However, she isn’t happy.
3. My aunt MollyMy aunt Molly (Paragraph 1)(Paragraph 1)
I really admire my aunt Molly. She’s my
mum’s younger sister, but they’re really
different. Molly is tall with long dark hair,
and a round face. Although Molly has a
strange sense of fashion, she always looks
good. She loves leggins, long skirts and
big hats.
4. Paragraph 2Paragraph 2
Molly is keen on camping and cats, but
her real love is swimming. She’s really
into theatre and dancing. I think she was
an actress once. However, she works
with disabled children. She also does
voluntary work at our local swimming
club.
5. Paragraph 3Paragraph 3
Molly isn’t a big fan of mornings. If you
ring her before lunchtime, she’s usually
still in bed! She hates timetables – she’s
always late for things. However, that’s
because she’s often busy helping people. I
admire her for her kindness. She’s a
brilliant aunt, and one of my best friends,
too!
