1. firstly / secondly / thirdly 第一 / 第二 / 第三 多用於報告, 研討性質的文章或議論文內, 其作用是使文章內的各項要點更清晰和鮮明, 但要避免濫用, 否則, 文章便會欠缺吸引力和說服力. fourthly (第四) 和 fifthly (第五) 偶爾會於文章中出現, 但sixthly (第六), seventhly (第七) 等則較為罕見, 應該盡可能避免使用. 2. first / second / third 一 / 二 / 三 意思跟 "firstly", "secondly", "thirdly" 等完全相同, 但假若文章裏有多至六個或以上的要點, 用"first", "second", "third" 等聯結詞較佳.

"to begin with"亦具有表示某事件是如何開始的功能 2. Let's begin with / let's start with (讓我們從......說起) 跟後可用名詞(noun), 動名詞(gerund) 或分句(clause), 指出先要談及的事物. e.g. 接用名詞 Let's begin with our hobbies. 接用動名詞 Let's begin with choosing a friend. 接用分句 Let's start with what we are interested in. 當"to begin with" 或 "to start with" 之後接用名詞(noun),其意思和用法跟"Let's begin with"和"Let's start with"相似. 3.
