Transition words
Transition
words are words that help connect or link ideas,
phrases, sentences, or paragraphs.
Kata
transisi adalah kata-kata yang membantu menghubungkan atau menghubungkan ide, frasa,
kalimat, atau paragraf.
· These
words help the reader smoothly through ideas by creating a bridge between them.
Kata-kata ini membantu pembaca denganlancar
melalui ide dengan menciptakan jembatan di antara mereka.
·
It would hard for readers to immediately
jump from one idea to the next, so transitions help the reader move smoothly
through the ideas instead.
Akan sulit bagi pembaca untuk melompat dari satu ide ke ide berikutnya, jadi transisi membantu pembaca bergerak dengan lancar melalui ide.
· Transition
words can be used to show addition. Sometimes you may want to add on to
an idea you have already expressed, and transitions of addition can help you
add ideas or information.
Kata transisi dapat digunakan untuk
menunjukkan penambahan. Terkadang Anda mungkin ingin menambahkan ide yang telah
anda ungkapkan, dan transisi penambahan dapat membantu anda menambahkan ide
atau informasi.
Transition of Addition
Furthermore Moreover Besides Too Also
Similarity Likewise For example In addition Another
Here is an example of using one these
transitions:
I have always liked
cats because they are small and cute. Also,
they are good hunters.
·
You see that “Also,” helps us move from one
idea to another. We move from the idea that the speaker likes cats because they
are cute to the fact that the speaker thinks that cats are good hunters.
Anda lihat “Also”
membantu kita berpindah dari satu ide ke ide yang lain. Kami beralih dari
gagasan bahwa pembicara menyukai kucing karena mereka lucu menjadi fakta bahwa
pembicara mengganggap kucing adalah pemburu yang baik.
· Transition
words can also be used to show time.
They can demonstrate in what order something happens, when something happened,
or how often something happens.
Kata transisi juga dapat digunakan untuk menunjukkan waktu. Mereka dapat mendemonstrasikan dalam urutan apa sesuatu terjadi, kapan sesuatu terjadi, atau seberapa sering sesuatu terjadi.
Transitions of Time
After/Afterwards First/Second Then At first
Eventually
Immediately To begin
with Meanwhile
Here is an example of
using a transition of time to show when events happened:
First, we went to the store to buy a fish. Then,
we went home to set up the tank for the fish.
·
The transitions “First” and “Then” help us
understand the order of events. The speaker went to the store and then set up
the tank. We know the order because of the transitions. While the order seems
logical in this sentence, transitions become very helpful when the order of
events is confusing or there are lots of events happening.
(Transisi “Pertama”
dan “Kemudian” membantu kita memahami urutan peristiwa. Pembicara pergi ke took
dan kemudian memasang tangki. Kami tahu urutannya tampak logis dalam kalimat
ini, transisi menjadi sangat membantu jika urutan peristiwa membingungkan atau
ada banyak peristiwa terjadi)
·
Transitions also help us move smoothly from
one paragraph to the next. Transitions do this by concluding one paragraph and
opening another. Most paragraphs try to have a conclusion that is nice and
tidy. This makes the reader feel as though the paragraph and the point made in
the paragraph are complete. Transitions of conclusion try to summarize the information
in the paragraph and end the paragraph.
Transisi juga membantu kita berpindah dengan lancar dari satu paragraf ke paragraf berikutnya. Transisi melakukan ini dengan menutup satu paragraph dan membuka paragraph lain. Kebanyakan paragraph mencoba memiliki kesimpulan yang bagus dan rapi. Hal ini membuat pembaca merasa paragraph dan poin yang dibuat dalam paragraph tersebut sudah lengkap. Transisi kesimpulan mencoba meringkas informasi dalam paragraph dan mengakhiri paragraph.
Examine the transition of
conclusion in the following paragraph:
The phrase “to sum up”
gives us a clear end to this paragraph by reminding us of the key information
and the main idea, which is that the school is great. After reading the
transition to conclusion, we are ready to move on to the next paragraph.
Ungkapan “Rangkuman”
memberi kita akhir yang jelas untuk mengakhiri paragraph ini dengan
mengingatkan kita tentang informasi kunci dan gagasan utamanya, yaitu sekolah
itu hebat. Setelah membaca transisi ke kesimpulan, kita siap untuk melanjutkan
ke paragraph berikutnya.
Transitions help the
reader move between ideas or paragraphs by creating a bridge between them.
Transisi membantu pembaca
