Afterward, you’ll hear some examples of how these might be used.

Express an alternative point of view.

11. On the other hand…(we should spend more on Marketing)

14. I’d just like to point out that…(we need to pay more attention to marketing)
15. Good point but we should also consider that…(marketing also plays a crucial role)
