Exercise 5 – Paragraph Writing 
Transitions are important in writing because they help to guide the reader from one idea to the next. Without transitions, the essay can feel disconnected, making it harder for the reader to understand the relationship between the ideas. Using transitions like "For example," "In addition," and "On the other hand" allows the writer to link different points smoothly, making the argument clearer and more persuasive. Transitions also help organize the essay, making it easier to follow the writer’s logic and progression of thought.
