And welcome to today's English lesson, where we're focusing on transitions,
00:08 - 00:10
transitions, transitional phrases.
00:11 - 00:17
So we need to focus today on improving our writing on plan our essays
00:18 - 00:21
on. Of course, we always have the essential question in mind.
00:21 - 00:24
How can people and animals relate to each other?
00:29 - 00:31
So how can we improve? Our writing
00:32 - 00:34
on important aspect of writing is cohesion.
00:34 - 00:38
So, in other words, the way that ideas connect to each other,
00:38 - 00:41
the flow of your sentences of your paragraphs and of
00:41 - 00:45
your essay needs to be coherent as you right.
00:45 - 00:49
You'll have a clear idea of how each idea fits into your organisational plan.
00:49 - 00:52
You'll be following the appeal structure
00:52 - 00:55
onder other structures for essay writing.
00:55 - 00:57
It's very important that you really get to clear
00:57 - 01:00
signal about how your ideas relate to each other.
01:00 - 01:04
How do we do this by using appropriate words and phrases?
01:08 - 01:09
So when we beginning you
01:10 - 01:11
paragraph,
01:11 - 01:13
it will indicate a changing subject.
01:13 - 01:17
But there should be a smooth transition or a connection between the paragraph
01:18 - 01:21
that proceeds and the one that follows.
01:21 - 01:23
So, for example, you wouldn't write about school exam,
01:23 - 01:26
then suddenly jumped to a paragraph about cows being there
01:27 - 01:30
without there being some sort of link between the two.
01:30 - 01:33
So we know that we use topic sentences
01:33 - 01:37
to link our paragraphs. Of course, this is the peel structure.
01:38 - 01:39
So where we have the point
01:39 - 01:40
evidence,
01:41 - 01:44
evaluate the evidence, explain evidence, explain the evidence on,
01:44 - 01:47
then link to the paragraph that follows.
01:48 - 01:53
But how can we link our ideas within the paragraph?
01:54 - 01:57
Changing the way that sentence is open makes a
01:57 - 01:59
piece of writing more interesting than engaging for the reader
02:01 - 02:01
thing,
02:05 - 02:06
varying
02:07 - 02:10
the variety of sentence types in your writing.
02:10 - 02:12
Also, make sure writing more interesting
02:12 - 02:18
on do using transitions and transitional phrases helps to link
02:18 - 02:20
your ideas together coherently.
02:23 - 02:27
So what are transitions? Transitional words and phrases.
02:27 - 02:30
So they're words that share relationships amongst ideas
02:30 - 02:35
so we could be chronological follower, time, order, spatial.
02:35 - 02:37
Make a comparison or a contrast.
02:38 - 02:40
Explore cause and effect
02:40 - 02:42
on the order of importance.
02:42 - 02:45
We can provide examples using transitional words and phrases,
02:46 - 02:48
so their groups of words that function in
02:49 - 02:53
so groups of words that function in the same way a call transitional phrases
02:58 - 03:01
on each transitional word or phrase has a specific
03:01 - 03:02
use.
03:02 - 03:07
So we have a guide here on. This will also be uploaded onto class pages
03:07 - 03:09

03:09 - 03:13
your purpose so you can look at the reference.
03:13 - 03:17

03:17 - 03:19
Example cause and effect
03:19 - 03:21
We are introduction
03:21 - 03:23
on. Do you can choose your comfort level?
03:23 - 03:28
So which words do you feel comfortable using? Because, of course, it's important to
03:28 - 03:30
build our vocabulary.
03:30 - 03:33
And rich are vocabulary but also feel comfortable
03:33 - 03:36
and understand the words that were using too right
03:38 - 03:38
Key idea
03:39 - 03:41
is that you vary of a cabin. Eri
03:41 - 03:44
don't rely on the same words and phrases throughout your writing,
03:49 - 03:52
so let's take a look at some examples.
04:06 - 04:08

So fragments, a partial sentences, phrases or single words that
04:56 - 05:00
and could be used sparingly to emphasise a point are at interest to your reader.
