4
15559
4571
00:20

6
23670
4000
00:27
and specifically kinda transitions that show
7
27670
3619
00:31
a contrast in your ideas alright
8
31289
3391
00:34
so let's get started I wanna share for stovall
9
34680
3699
00:38
some transitions
10
38379
3061
00:41
however in contrast on be
11
41440
7000
00:52
on the other hand
12
52289
3241
00:55
13
55530
7000
01:09
14
69790
2940
01:12
transition however comma in contrast
15
72730
3960
01:16
comma and on the other hand comma
16
76690
3150
01:19
and these are all used to show something
17
79840
3610
01:23
different something completely
18
83450
3290
01:26
on the contrary is coming up something
19
86740
3210
01:29
one hundred eighty degrees from what you've been talking about
20
89950
3980
01:33
so for example I Boston
21
93930
3740
01:37
has cold weather however
22
97670
3210
01:40
los Angeles has hot weather okay
23
100880
3850
01:44
I Boston has cold weather in contrast
24
104730
4130
01:48
hawaii has great warm weather Boston is cold
25
108860
4540
01:53
on other hand miami is hot
26
113400
3210
01:56
okay so these are completely different ideas
27
116610
3040
01:59
so those are simple ideas now when you write
28
119650
3750
02:03
hopefully your writing is going to be way more
29
123400
3700
02:07
I it it's going to be at a higher level than those sentences
30
127100
4070
02:11
that I just gave as examples the most important thing that I can tell you
31
131170
5300
02:16
from the mistakes that I've seen my students making
32
136470
4220
02:20
is to make sure that you use these transitions when you're ready to show
33
140690
5200
02:25
a completely opposite and contrary idea
34
145890
4930
02:30
it can not be a continuation on the same
35
150820
3570
02:34
thought so about bad news for these transitions would be
36
154390
4290
02:38
Boston is really cold however
37
158680
3340
02:42
I sometimes its only a little cold
38
162020
3310
02:45
doesn't really make sense your credit continue with the same idea
39
165330
3879
02:49
so Boston is really cold in contrast
40
169209
3711
02:52
Boston have a lot of snow doesn't really work its kind in the same idea
41
172920
6280
02:59
however another one boston's really cold on that other hand
42
179200
5539
03:04
you can ice skate there so
43
184739
3361
03:08
well has to be cold in order to ice skate so those
44
188100
3010
03:11
ideas go together to see how those are not
45
191110
3800
03:14
opposite ideas and you cannot use these transitions
46
194910
4109
03:19
these transitions are great for showing
47
199019
3351
03:22
opposite ideas so use these transitions when you have to write an essay showing
48
202370
5410
03:27
two different points of view showing the pros and the cons
49
207780
4239
03:32
or sharing your own point of view and then
50
212019
3121
03:35
adding be opposite point of view in to show that you understand that
51
215140
4400
03:39
okay so I hope that these three transitions
52
219540
4020
03:43
and my explanation with some examples with helpful for you today
53
223560
3810
03:47
I wish you the best in your writing remember to use
54
227370
3140
03:50
however in contrast and on the
55
230510
3220
03:53
other hand followed by a comma to show your
56
233730
4280
03:58
opposite idea from what you
