Synonym for "in order to"

Hi there,

I am in the process of getting my master thesis down to paper. Reading through the text, i noticed that i often start sentences with "in order to .. "
Could you please give me some alternatives to this like 'therefore', 'so', etc.

Thanks

I think I cannot say anything on it until I see it. But I would like to say that it depends on the mood and sense of the sentence.

English learners frequently use 'in order to' when a simple 'to' will do just fine. You should probably omit 'in order' in at least half of these occurrences of 'in order to'.

Hi CJ Emotion: smile

What is your opinion about 'with the purpose of doing sth'?

I just opened OALD at 'in order to do

Hole One a New SeeShe arrived early with the purpose/intention of getting a good seat.
'With the purpose of' sounds very unnatural there.

Um, yes, I guess your point is that the word 'purpose/intention' is too much in this case (therefore it sounds strange). At least, it would be in Hungarian.
