I feel like I knew this but couldn’t explain why it made sense. Now I have a better understanding of the topic and as a result, I can use it more often.
Yes
I have loved this activity teacher Chris, besides, linking devices are among my favourites in English, since they allow me to speak more coherently and as you said, cohesively. Thank you very much!
John's Problem John had already arrived late to work twice in the past week, it was imperative that he arrived on time today. Luckily, he had prepared everything the night before. Consequently, John was able to get to work on time, and avoid his boss' wrath. Nevertheless, the fact that his car wasn't starting had him pretty worried, and he realized that if he didn't act quickly he could have a real dilemma on his hands. As a result, after deliberating what to do, he decided to ask if he could borrow his friend's car. His friend was easily able to grasp the importance of the situation and agreed to lend him the car.
Just Breather When I arrived at the lecture hall for the group presentation, I felt calm and relaxed. Nevertheless, one of my partners was rather nervous. I knew that if my partner couldn't calm down before we presented, it would reflect poorly on me too. Due to this, my plan was to do some simple breathing exercises with him in hopes that he would feel less anxious. In the end, he was able to relax just in time for us to start our presentation, and ours was the best one of the day.
Nice activity 👍
Whereas the card game on the fantasy section looked great, I saw some reviews about it and felt it wasn’t worth it.
Excellent job Mateo - that's how it's done!
These last lessons help me to understand better the structure of a commentary, story or sentence. Nice!
I share my activity:
👏👏👏

what does wheares means?
Hey Ernesto José. Think of whereas as a verbal seesaw. It’s the perfect tool for when you want to highlight a stark difference between two things in the same breath. You use it to balance one fact against another.
If I say, "I love the chaos of a busy city, whereas you prefer the silence of the mountains," I’m not just stating two facts—I’m explicitly contrasting them. It’s like saying "on the other hand," but with a sharper edge. It forces the listener to see the gap between your two points.
If you were describing a situation where two people had completely opposite reactions to the exact same event, how would you use whereas to frame that?
I believe it's sort of an equivalent to "Mientras Que" or "Mientras tanto"
This class is preatty important and some courses forget to teach it.
