1) Can you help me find online exercises on sentence connectors (expressing addition, contrast, etc). I need my students to practise how to write a cohesive paragraph (including an introduction and a conclusion).
Here are a few:
http://grammar.ccc.commnet.edu/grammar/transitions.htm
and
http://writingcenter.unc.edu/handouts/transitions/
Both of these sites have really good charts that show the circumstances for using different transition words and phrases. The first one has a quiz at the bottom of the webpage.
In this website, use the lists at the right, and find the sections re transitions/connectors:

This is a magnificent website. Make sure you use it again and again for all kinds of study and assignments.
By the way, I need to find a website explaining the relatioship between Orwell's 1984 and totalitarianism.

1) He visits a reservation in ... Here he meets a savage called John whom he manages to bring back to London. John, however, is no ordinary savage.
2) Actually, he is different also because he is the natural child of a Beta woman who once got lost in the reservation. He has learned English by reading the works of Shakespeare.
3) John is at first fascinated by the efficiency and functionality of the new world, but he is soon disturbed by its darker side, its infantile culture of self gratification, the absence of free will and personal identity, and the enslavement of the lower orders.
4) OK
5) OK

Thank you for your invaluable help!
1) He visits a reservation in ... Here he meets a “savage” called John whom he manages to bring back to London. John, however, is no ordinary savage.
2) Actually, he is different also because he is the natural child of a Beta woman who once got lost in the reservation. He has learned English by reading the works of Shakespeare.
3) John is at first fascinated by the efficiency and functionality of the new world but is soon disturbed by its darker side, its infantile culture of self gratification, the absence of free will and personal identity and the enslavement of the lower orders.
4)Eventually, he leaves London to try to live a solitary existence in a lighthouse, but his eccentric lifestyle soon makes him a figure of amusement for tourists in London.
5) At the end of the book, realizing there is no way out, he commits suicide. His death conveys a feeling of deep pessimism about the future of the brave new world.
