Another popular sport is football. [Football is less popular/common than baseball and swimming.] In addition — They have ordered tickets to the Olympic baseball and football tournaments. In addition, they have purchased a few tickets to the swim meets.

[Love baseball and football equally, and more so than swimming.] NOTE: As well as can not be used like and in a simple list of items: I like baseball, football as well as swimming. In addition to X — He is a great athlete: in addition to being voted an all-star for both baseball and football teams, he also swims competitively. [He is better at baseball and football than at swimming.] ■To list a subject of greater importance (>) NOTE: When writing (essays, reports, letters), we should place the most important subject first, and use the phrases above to introduce less important subjects afterwards. There are some cases, however, when we wish to state the strongest point at the end (ex. a letter/essay of complaint or praise). In these cases, we use the terms below. Furthermore (further + more = of greater importance) — The box office5) was closed and tickets could not be purchased for either that day’s game or the next’s. The online ticket purchase option did not work, and none of the ticket hotlines6) answered our calls. Furthermore, the contact address given is a building protected by security guards who do not allow access without permission — a permission that can’t be gained by contact with the box office, webmaster or phone operator. [The last point — no access to the building — combines the problems of all the other points into a strong conclusion to this complaint.] Moreover (more+over = of greater importance) — Baseball and football help children improve motor skills, fine-tune physical coordination, and build strong bones and muscles. Moreover, the children develop vital social and teamwork skills necessary for success in later endeavors. [Social and teamwork skills are more important than the other developments, and form a strong conclusion in praise of the two sports.] NOTE: furthermore and moreover are compound words — more plus another word. This other word (further/over) tells the reader the following subject is of greater importance than the previous one. Many writers incorrectly use furthermore and moreover to mean also or in addition. 1.连接词 2.新陈代谢 3.失水；脱水 Sources: A.Writing and Speaking Native 10 — New Oriental English Oct. 2007 B.http://www.inter-biotec.com/biowc/correctuse/cmp.html |
