Overview<\/h3>\n

One of the ways to help the reader understand the points made or the direction the argument is going is by the use of transitions.\u00a0 Transition words and phrases signal illustration, contrast, continuation, or conclusion.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Illustration<\/h3>\n

One of the ways to develop an idea is by illustrating examples.\u00a0 They add more information about a thesis, reinforcing it, agreeing with material that has gone before. For example, many people say that summer is their favorite season.\u00a0 First, the weather is pleasant, so that people can get outdoors and enjoy favorite activities.\u00a0 Second, some people have vacations during the summer, so they can travel to other places like the beach.\u00a0 In addition, people can dress more casually and comfortably. Words and phrases such as first<\/strong>, second<\/strong>, for instance<\/strong>, and for example<\/strong>, signal to the reader that the illustrations continue the previous idea.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Contrast<\/h3>\n

However, another way to develop an idea is by using contrasting examples.\u00a0 Contrast shows that there is another way of looking at an idea by pointing out alternatives, changing direction.\u00a0 On the other hand, other people prefer winter, because they can take part in winter sports like skiing, snowshoeing, or ice skating.\u00a0 In contrast, winter vacations can be less expensive and destinations less crowded.\u00a0 Unlike the heat of summer, the cool of winter brings the beauty of blanketing snow.\u00a0 Words and phrases such as on the other hand<\/strong>, in contrast<\/strong>, unlike<\/strong>, otherwise<\/strong>, and however<\/strong> signal contrast to the reader.<\/p>\n

Continuation<\/h3>\n

Writers can also continue with earlier points made in the essay.\u00a0 Transition words such as especially<\/strong>, furthermore<\/strong>, and moreover<\/strong> allow the reader to stop and consider further points.\u00a0 Some people especially like summer because of the long, sunny days, allowing them more time to spend outdoors.\u00a0 The warm weather allows many crops, such as corn, peas, strawberries, and raspberries to grow and ripen.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/h3>\n

During the conclusion, the writer summarizes and restates the points made in the essay.\u00a0 Transition words and phrases such as in conclusion<\/strong>, finally<\/strong>, as a<\/strong> result<\/strong>, and after all<\/strong> signal the reader that the argument is coming to a close.\u00a0 In conclusion, people prefer a particular season of the year because that season contains their preferred weather and activities.<\/p>\n
