The Strategic Meeting

Review Summary

  • [Statement 1]. Сонымен қатар, [Statement 2].
  • Біріншіден, ... Екіншіден, ...
  • [Cause]. Осыған байланысты, [Effect].
  • [Connector], [Clause].

Common Mistakes

While 'және' is grammatically correct, it is too basic for B2 professional writing. 'Сонымен қатар' adds the necessary formal weight.

Wrong: Мен қазақша сөйлеймін және түрік тілін білемін.
Correct: Мен қазақша сөйлеймін, сонымен қатар түрік тілін білемін.

Introductory sequence markers like 'Біріншіден' must be followed by a comma in formal Kazakh writing.

Wrong: Біріншіден біз жұмыс істейміз.
Correct: Біріншіден, біз жұмыс істейміз.

In a formal report or speech, 'алайда' or 'дегенмен' is preferred over the common 'бірақ'.

Wrong: Ол келді бірақ ештеңе айтпады. (Formal context)
Correct: Ол келді, алайда ештеңе айтпады.

Next Steps
