Question

Should you bother using transitions if the logical sequence of your message is already obvious? Why or why not? Write 3 paragraphs

Answer 1

Yes, you should use transitions even if the logical sequence of your message is already obvious, because it is not only used for sequencing. Transitions can be used to alert the reader that there is a shift from one idea to the next, which can eliminate confusion. Additionally, it creates a flow for your ideas that will tie them all together.

I believe that even though you message has an obvious sequence, it is always important to use transition phrases just in case the sequence is confusing to some, or people forget. Transitions are helpful because they alert the reader on what lies ahead in the message and shirt changes don’t cause confusion when reading it. This also helps with giving the message a good flow. A message can also have various moods, so it is important to use different types of transitions to illustrate you mood in that paragraph.

I believe transitions should always be used even when the message is obvious. These transitions are used to connect ideas together. Without these transitions, the audience may become confused and unable to piece together information. Even if the logical sequence of my message is already obvious, I will also consider using a transition whenever it could help the reader understand my ideas and follow me from point to point. They will help alert the reader to what lies ahead so that shifts and changes don’t cause confusion, in addition to helping readers understand the connections I am trying to make.
