一组意义有关联的句子并不能自动形成流畅自然、前后连贯的短文，这些句子之间必须使用恰当的连接词并按一定的逻辑顺序组织起来才能形成一篇主题统一、连贯自然的短文。不同的语义逻辑要选用不同的过渡词。常见的有：

　　常用于列举的过渡词语和可供参考的句型有：to begin with/in the firstsecond, etc)place/firstly, secondly, etc./lastly, finally, at last/at first/The first thing to be considered is.../first of all/The first thing we have to consider is.../First... second... then

　　常用于例证的过渡词语和可供参考的句型有： for example/specially/for instance/as proof/such(as)/anothe example/remember is.../for one thing/The most striking instance of this occurred when.../sometimes/often/... can serve as an example/to illustrate/If any further examples were needed, I could mention.../as an illustration/occasionally

　　常用于因果的过渡词语和可供参考的句型有： because(of)/since/as/for/owing to/due to/for the reason that.../so/so as to/so that/therefore/thus/consequently/accordingly/as a result/the cause for... is.../one result(effect)of... is.../cause/result in/result from/give rise to/affect/produce/lead to/account for attribute to
