   A) Shopping at K-Mart enriches my vocabulary. Although (even
though) I don't like spending money, I like shopping because (since, as)
it gives me a chance to practice my English. K-Mart is the best place to
practice. Since (because, as) it is a large store, there are many customer
assistants who speak English fluently. I look for many items in the store,
and (so) in each area I find a different customer assistant who is eager to
help me practice English. Also (in addition, furthermore, moreover), I
am careful to read the section names of the various parts of the store, so
(and) I read the information on the packages of the items that I want to
buy; in fact (indeed, as a matter of fact, as a result), every time I
shop at K-Mart, I leave the store with some new words that increase my
English vocabulary.

B) The problem with an old car is that it always needs something
replaced or repaired. For example (for instance, to illustrate),
about the time the fourth tire is replaced, the first one begins to
wear thin again; then the rear brakes start to go. Another common
problem is that some kind of pump is always breaking down and in
need of replacement. First, the air pump may develop trouble;
next, the fuel pump may go bad, and then, the water pump may
give up. These pumps require new hoses; in fact (indeed, as a
matter of fact), everything under the hood seems to need a new
hose or a new engine. There seems to be no end to the trouble and
expense of keeping up an old car.

C) Even if you have no matches, you can start a campfire, but doing so
without matches is not easy. You can use a pair of glasses because
(since, as) they work like a magnifying glass, but the sun must be out so
that it can shine through the glasses. To start your fire, first, collect
plenty of dry paper. If you don't have any paper, then substitute some dry
leaves; next (secondly), collect plenty of very small twigs, some larger
twigs, some small branches and then some logs. Hold the glasses so that
the sun shines on the paper or leaves so that (until, and) they catch
fire. After that (afterward, then, thirdly), put on the small twigs,
which will burn, too. After (when, if) the twigs and paper are burning
well, add some of the branches, which will soon catch fire as well. Finally,
sit back, relax, and enjoy your warm fire.

Each of the U.S. manned space exploration projects had specific major goals. For
example, the Mercury project was designed to test whether or not human beings
could survive and function in outer space. In addition, the Mercury project tested
rockets with the new Mercury space capsule, which could hold one person. As another
example, the Gemini project was intended to find out whether two people could work
in the weightless environment of space. One way of doing this was by having Gemini
astronauts take "spacewalks." That is, they floated outside their spacecraft in a
spacesuit, connected to it by a tether. Gemini astronauts also tried out new flying skills.
For example, some astronauts flew two spacecraft extremely close together; this
procedure was called "rendezvous." On some Gemini flights, astronauts physically
linked two spacecraft together. This linking, or "space docking," was a major goal of the
Gemini program. Finally, the Apollo project, with three astronauts, had the goal of
testing spacecraft and skills so that people could actually fly to the Moon and land on
it. Other goals included performing scientific experiments on the lunar surface and
collecting rocks for study on Earth.
