Even though, Although, etc

Mark Tenorio

I've noticed that in some LR questions, there would be sentences that start off like "Even though","although". These sentences are qualifying the the argument a bit more correct? I remember in one particular video something about this, I think it was acknowledging something so as to prevent the reader from using it against the argument or something like that...

What are your opinions on this?

Ah, good question! These phrases typically introduces a point that might be raised by someone who would object.

E.g. Although pizza is fatty, it is also cheap, convenient, and filling, therefore making it an excellent food for college students.
