Thank you We sneak in and here's your shmoop du

00:05

jour brought to you by transitional phrases For example insufficient

00:09

funds is a phrase that starts a very exciting transition

00:14

into homelessness Okay when i first read the passage blow

00:19

from a letter of complaint Your net wire customer service

00:23

members netware Turn well fist All right Now click the

00:29

drop down menu and choose the option that correctly completes

00:32

the sentence The options are they're all this stuff Okay

00:40

well transitional phrases like this they're helpful Additionally they give

00:43

a passage order and purpose Conversely some people don't like

01:26

example of the bad internet connection they're two separate issues

01:29

so see is off the table Furthermore is an appropriate

01:33

01:40

maybe these great writing skills can help us with some
