 Between Sections
 In longer works, it may be necessary to include transitional
paragraphs that summarize for the reader what was just
covered and specify how it connects to what is going to be
covered next.
 Between Paragraphs
 If you have done a good job of arranging paragraphs so
that the content of one leads logically to the next, the
transition will highlight a relationship that already exists by
summarizing the previous paragraph and suggesting
something of the content of the paragraph that follows.
