Connectors

The connectors and synonyms are used in a reading basically to express Continuing Ideas. The idea in this strategie is to identify them.
The principal connectors that are used by the writers are:
- This
- These
- The
They use these words for replace the things that they already had mentioned inmediately in the back sentence.

For example:
- The goverment has developed a plan to reduce unemployment in our part of the country. The plan is being welcomed by most people in this part of the country.

In this sentence, The plan replace the before idea!

But in some cases the writer doesn't use the same word (like in the previous sentence), they could use a synonym for expressing the same idea.

For example:
- The condition of the patient has improved greatly in the last twenty four hours. if this progress continues, the patient will soon be able to leave the hospital.

In this sentence, this progress is used as a synonym simply for continuing with the context and don't lose the meaning of the phrase.
