总而言之英文-除了First，Second，Third，英语表达还能怎么说才更有逻辑？

无论是在英语口语表达还是文章写作过程中，以合理的逻辑正确表达事件的顺序，可以有效帮助听众或读者理解对话或文章的主题。

英语中往往会用一些表示顺序的词语或者短语（Sequencing phrases）来明确事件的顺序，接下来我们将逐一讨论。

首先我们读一小段文字：

• First, I got up. Then I took a shower. Next, I had breakfast. After that, I read newspaper. Finally, I went to work.

【首先，我起床。然后洗个澡，接着吃早餐，之后看报纸，然后去上班。】

上面一段表述中用first、then、next、after that、finally对早上的一系列活动的顺序进行了清晰地描述。

也就是说，我们可以借助这些词语或短语帮我们整理事件顺序，而且也大致可以归纳为以下结构：

接下来我们举例说明：

• First, the manager talked about the sales in Q1. After that, salespersons shared some experiences. Lastly, the boss praised the sales team.

【首先，销售经理谈了第一季度的销售情况。然后，销售人员分享了一些销售经验。最后老板对销售部门提出了表扬。】

• First of all, I am going to write down the key words on the board. Meanwhile, you should copy them onto your notebook. Then, you will make up a short story with the words. Finally, you can discuss the stories with your partners.

【首先，我会在黑板上写下一些关键词。同时，你们应该把这些关键词抄写在笔记本上。然后你们需要用这些词语编写一个小故事。最后和你们的搭档进行讨论。】

以上是我们在非正式场合或者口语表达中可以使用到的一些"衔接词"，下面我们来讨论

我们还是通过举例来说明。

(talking about studying abroad)

【话题为海外学习】

• To begin with / First of all / In the first place / First and foremost, it is important to consider which country you would like to study in.

首先，考虑到哪个国家去学习非常重要。

• Additionally / Moreover / What's more / In addition / Furthermore, you should think about which courses you will study.

其次，你应该选择好学习什么课程。

• For example / For instance, you want to study art, law or science.

比如你想去学习艺术、法律还是科学。

• Overall / Consequently / Eventually / In conclusion / In one word, studying abroad will be affected by several factors. You'd better make a particular plan.

总而言之，到海外学习受到诸多因素的影响，你最好做一个详尽的计划。
