1. Actually
Use: Providing correct information
Example: Would you prefer to live I another place, since our hometown is so polluted?
Actually, no, I wouldn’t. What I would like is to persuade the local government to improve the situation so that people would stay rather than moving to less polluted towns.
Example: In your country, do children often learn practical skills from their parents?
Actually, I think it depends on whether they live in cities or in the countryside. Children in the countryside learn many practical skills from their parents, but those in the cities don’t.
2. All in all
