Goal: write a coherent argument using discourse markers accurately (B2 level).
The “AI” grader is a rubric-based evaluator that checks structure, word count, range/accuracy of linkers, and some B2 indicators (complex connectors, lexical variety).
Don’t just add linkers—use them to show relationships (contrast, consequence, examples, conclusion).

The shift towards digital connectivity presents a dilemma for modern urban planning. Many argue that technology improves life. First of all, smart city initiatives can enhance efficiency. Traffic flow, for instance, can be optimized in real time. Moreover, remote work may reduce pressure on public transport.
However, reliance on tech brings trade-offs. The digital divide is widening; on the other hand, communities without infrastructure are left behind. Besides, there are concerns about privacy and surveillance. In addition to these ethical questions, cities may lose cultural identity as physical interaction declines. Finally, while benefits are real, consequences must be addressed critically. In conclusion, the future requires balance between innovation and human connection.
Match each linker to its function (type the number). Each correct = 0.5 pt (8 items).
Rewrite each sentence using a different linker with the same meaning. (Spelling matters.)
