BELOW IS WHAT HE SAID ON A REAPONSE PAPER:
Good response. See my comments below. If you choose to resubmit this assignment, you may do so.
Your usage of transitional phrases is below average. Please review the writing tips below.
One sign of an excellent writer is the use of transitional phrases (e.g. therefore, consequently, furthermore). Transitional words and phrases contribute to the cohesiveness of a text and allow the sentences to flow smoothly. Without transitional phrases, a text will often seem disorganized and will most likely be difficult to understand. When these special words are used, they provide organization within a text and lead to greater understanding and enjoyment on the part of the reader.
The following transitional phrases were found in your document:
and, however
Consider using additional transitions where appropriate:
• consequently
• moreover
• nevertheless
• notwithstanding
• accordingly
• conversely
• ordinarily
Transitional phrases may be used in various places in a text:
• between paragraphs
• between sentences
• between sentence parts
• within sentence parts
Consider this example:
I lost my money; therefore, I could not buy a ticket.
The word ‘therefore’ contributes to greater unity or cohesion between sentences and allows the text to flow more smoothly.
Readability Indices
For more than 80 years, great minds have attempted to represent a text with a single score that summarizes its complexity. Writers sometimes use such ‘readability indices’ to gauge whether or not their text is appropriate for an audience of a particular grade level. Several of the most popular readability scores are included below. More info on interpreting these scores.
