Managing your learning It is important when reading or writing to recognize and understand the relationship in which sentences and groups of sentences combine to present information. Here are the signal words that can be used to show the order in which things are to be said. firstly in the first place secondly also thirdly in addition to what is more above all etc. |

It enabled people to do…
It found widespread application in…
Example: I think the invention of a spectroscope was a real breakthrough. It helped Isaac Newton to discover that the white light could be dispersed into a series of rainbow colors. It also made possible to study what extra-terrestrial objects are made of, for example, the sun's atmosphere. Moreover, it helped to reveal new elements such as helium. Above all, spectroscopy of atoms and molecules gave birth to quantum mechanics that is the basis of modern physics and chemistry. Today, laser spectroscopy is one of the most important experimental tools of condensed matter physics and it made a revolution in developing new materials with improved properties.
