Following Arguments

ការតាមដានការសន្ទនាវែងៗ និងការលើកហេតុផល

In lectures, speakers use Signpost Words to show you where the argument is going.

នៅក្នុងការបង្រៀន ឬបទបង្ហាញ វាគ្មិនប្រើ "ពាក្យចង្អុលបង្ហាញ" (Signpost Words) ដើម្បីប្រាប់អ្នកថាតើគំនិតបន្ទាប់នឹងទៅជាយ៉ាងណា។

Adding & Sequencing arrow_right_alt

ការបន្ថែមគំនិត ឬការរៀបលំដាប់ (Adding more of the same idea)

Listen for these Signposts:

Furthermore / Moreover លើសពីនេះទៅទៀត / បន្ថែមពីនេះ (Adding a stronger point)

Subsequently បន្ទាប់មក / ជាបន្តបន្ទាប់ (Happening after something else)

"The study showed positive results. Furthermore, it was cheap." Expect more good news!

swap_horiz

Contrast & Shift swap_horiz

ការផ្លាស់ប្តូរគំនិត ឬបង្ហាញភាពផ្ទុយគ្នា

Listen for these Signposts:

Nevertheless / Nonetheless ទោះជាយ៉ាងណាក៏ដោយ (Despite what was just said)

On the contrary ផ្ទុយទៅវិញ (Introducing the exact opposite idea)

"The policy is expensive. Nevertheless, we must implement it." Expect a shift in the argument!

Cause & Conclusion bar_chart

ហេតុនិងផល ឬការសន្និដ្ឋានបញ្ចប់

Listen for these Signposts:

Consequently អាស្រ័យហេតុនេះ / ជាលទ្ធផល (As a result)

Ultimately / To sum up ជារួមមក / សរុបសេចក្តីមក (Final main point)

"It rained heavily. Consequently, the match was canceled." Expect the final result!

warning The "Having Said That" Trap!

Don't miss the PIVOT! (ការបត់គំនិត)

(នៅពេលវាគ្មិនប្រើឃ្លា "Having said that..." វាមានន័យថាពួកគេកំពុងរៀបនឹងនិយាយអ្វីមួយដែលផ្ទុយពីអ្វីដែលពួកគេទើបតែនិយាយអម្បាញ់មិញ!)

"The phone is very expensive and hard to use. Having said that, the camera is amazing."

The speaker shifted from complaining (negative) to praising (positive). It acts just like "But" or "However".

I get so lost in long lectures. Should I just try to write down the main nouns and verbs?

Hi Sokha! Actually, focus on the SIGNPOST words we learned today. When you hear "Furthermore," you know it's just an extra point (maybe you don't need to write it all). But when you hear "Nevertheless," pay attention! The speaker is about to change the direction of the argument. edit_note

What is the difference between "Furthermore" and "Moreover"?

Reply thumb_up 4

Sopheak Pich Teacher 4 hours ago

They are very similar and both mean "in addition." "Furthermore" is often used to add a piece of evidence or a fact. "Moreover" is slightly stronger, often used when the next point is even MORE important than the first one. But in everyday use, they are interchangeable. psychology

Yes, you absolutely can! It is very common in English to just say "On the other hand" to introduce a contrasting point, without needing to say "On the one hand" previously. It acts just like "However." swap_horiz
