    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.
