2B LINKING WORDS PRACTICE- CONTRAST

Hi dear 2B students!

How are you today?  This is second-to-last exercise before the marking period is over. There will be an extra homework tomorrow just to make the assignments even with the other senior group 2A.  We are almost there!
I would like to review the following connectors/prepositions  of contrast ALTHOUGH, THOUGH, EVEN THOUGH, DESPITE AND IN SPITE OF. Please pay attention to the video explanation ( it's a 9.04 min.  length video), pause it as many times as you need to write down an example, to take notes...watch it as you will. Make sure you do not get interrupted and you can really focus on the explanation.
TODAY'S ASSIGNMENT.
Well, you do not have to do anything too stressful today. I would like you to write sentences as a comment of this post. Use a different connector each time. Make sure you pay attention to punctuation and sentence typology. Do your best.

Try to make the sentences true for you, use a variety of topics so that you can practice your vocab.
Do not hesitate to ask me any questions.
Have a nice Tuesday! I hope you find the exercise useful.
