It’s all in the Transitions!
February 22, 2007 | Tutor Tips
Do you feel as though your papers sound choppy? You may be in need of some transitions. Transitions are great, because they guide your reader from thought to thought within your paper. Relying on the same old transitions like next, first, second, third, and in conclusion can be very boring. Try spicing up your next composition with some real zingers such as moreover, likewise, or subsequently. Remember, your paper should not read like a grocery list of thoughts; guide your reader through your argument using strategically placed transitions!
