Consequently. The use of adverbs
On major roads in Germany and France, the surface is generally much smoother than in the UK and consequently produces less tyre noise than on our roads. Why? Concrete motorways may be smoother, but anyone who thinks this produces less tyre noise has obviously never listened to their tyres when running over it. It makes a confounded racket! And if you think it's only my opinion, I must mention that I've seen a German documentary from the 1930s on the marvels of the Autobahn, and in that propaganda film, the roads made a dreadful noise, too. John Bennett, Glasgow Scotland The answer is simply that our roads are used more heavily than elsewhere, whether Germany, France, South Africa or Canada. Remember we are smaller country by area than those but our car ownership is higher, hence more cars on the road per mile, more usage more erosion. Brian Robinson, Brentwood Essex Accordingly Therefore in a way that suits the situation: Surveys suggest that these shows are not what most people want to watch. Accordingly (= Therefore), one network is now scheduling a made-for-TV movie every Sunday night. The workforce wants working hours to be reduced. Many companies have accordingly switched to a five-day week.
