A decision before an answer
- Your notes contain five facts, but the question asks for a comparison. A fluent answer can still miss that goal.
- Your goal: Select transitions expressing logical relationships.
Read the relationship
- Classify the relationship before choosing a transition: contrast, consequence, addition or example.
- Synthesize notes for a stated rhetorical goal.
“The battery costs more. ____, it lasts twice as long.”
The second sentence contrasts higher cost with an advantage.
Use the defining rule
- Read both sides of a blank. A transition must link their meanings, not merely sound natural.
- Synthesize notes for a stated rhetorical goal.
A goal asks for a similarity between two books. Which note belongs?
The shared publication year expresses similarity.
Check the conditions
- For notes questions, underline the requested goal. Comparison, introduction and emphasis require different selections.
- Synthesize notes for a stated rhetorical goal.
Notes: Route A is 8 km and has six stops. Route B is 8 km and has ten stops. Goal: emphasise a similarity. “Both routes are 8 km long” meets the goal. Discussing stops emphasises a difference instead.
A link expressing a result can be “____”.
Therefore links a cause or reason to its consequence.
Apply the task format
- Use only necessary notes. Keep names, dates and quantities attached to the correct object.
- Synthesize notes for a stated rhetorical goal.
Do not include every note. Extra detail can distract from the requested rhetorical purpose.
Which answer fits this case?
Select transitions expressing logical relationships
The best synthesis always includes all supplied notes.
It includes the facts needed for the stated goal.
Keep the distinctions
- transition 衔接词 — A word or phrase expressing a logical link.
- synthesis 综合 — Combining relevant information for a goal.
- Select transitions expressing logical relationships.
- Synthesize notes for a stated rhetorical goal.
