Listen and write down as many adverbs as you can hear. Especially, concentrate on those which serve as discourse markers.

A discourse marker is a word or phrase used to organize speech or writing into segments, helping to structure communication and guide the listener or reader. Examples include words like “well,” “so,” “actually,” “right,” and “I mean.”

Discourse markers serve different functions, such as:

• Signaling a change in topic (“Anyway, let’s move on.”)
• Clarifying or correcting (“Well, actually, that’s not quite right.”)
• Managing conversation flow (“Right, let’s get started.”)
