March 8-14 Transitions

Transitions are important when we make our speeches. Although I had my transitions ready and was about to present it, I forgot and had not transition in my speech. It was very weird since there were no transitions from one main point to another. Transitions are similar to connectors and without connectors, the main pieces will fall and it will not flow. After reading the transitions concept section of chapter 8, I had a clearer understanding. There are different types of transitions in which these different types consists of words and phrases. It was helpful how the book gives a lot of examples for transitions words. Other than that, I was amazed how rather than having transitions for only main points, we also need to have it for introduction and also conclusion. At first I thought that transitions are not needed for conclusions but now that I have read it, transitions for conclusions link the last main point of the topic and then the conclusion wraps up all the main points that was covered. Let's just hope that I won't forget to present my transitions again.
