Tho 是 though 的简写，可以表示不过、但是。它通常放在句末，为刚说的话补上保留意见，例如先夸酒店，再指出一个缺点。人们在聊天和评论中使用它，读音与 though 相同。
能把 tho 用进一条消息吗？

statement + tho (= though, however); tho + clause, + main clause (no but)
- The hotel was lovely, a bit far from the beach tho.
- I don't love my new job, the team is really nice tho.
- tho it rained all day, we still had a great time at the market.
修改原因
修改前tho the film was really long, but I enjoyed every minute.
修改后tho the film was really long, I enjoyed every minute.
Tho、though 和 although 已经表达让步或转折，因此同一个结构的另一半不再加 but。这里重复使用了两个标记，修改删掉 but。
句尾的 tho 比句首的 but 更像随口补充，语气较轻：Pricey place. Worth it tho。邮件里应写完整的 though；IELTS 作文中，可以用 although 或 however 引出转折，因为句尾 though 带有口语色彩：Although the course was hard, I enjoyed it。Speaking 中，句尾 though 则很自然。
动手练习
My new phone has an amazing camera. The battery is terrible ___.
查看答案
tho — 前面夸相机，后面指出缺点，tho 表达这个转折：the battery is terrible, though。Too 表示也，只有前面已经提到另一个不好的地方时，才符合这里的逻辑。
给朋友写一段简短的咖啡馆、酒店或旅行评价。先说优点，再说缺点，并把 tho 放在后一句末尾。
The café near my office has amazing cakes. The coffee is too bitter tho.
