眾所周知，要寫出清晰流暢的文章，需要把段落中各部分巧妙地連接在一起。這樣可使文章自然而別致，并能層層展開主題句，完整地表達中心思想。
起連貫作用的過渡詞語可以用來連接段落中的各個句子，也可以用來連接文章中的各個段落。下面是在段落中連接句子的例子（段中黑體字為過渡詞）To many foreigners, the American word family is confusing. Foreigners often hear an American say "My family is coming to visit." In this sentence, family means grandparents and perhaps other relatives. However, at other times, the same American might say, "I'm going to stay home with my family this weekend." In this case, he is talking about his wife and children. This is a much narrower meaning than the first one. Using family in this way makes a foreigner wonder which term really describes an American family. The answer, of course, is that there are two meanings for the word family in the United States -- a narrow one and a broad one. And there is another term ---- immediate family ----- to describe something in between.
這一段中出現(xiàn)的過渡手法有兩種：一種是過渡詞或詞組，如however, in this case, of course； 另一種是起過渡作用的代詞，如this, one.
段與段之間也可以用過渡詞連接，比如but可以連接兩個為轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系的段落．
2. 過渡詞語的分類 常用的過渡詞根據(jù)意思和作用的不同，可以分為以下十一類：
1) 用以解釋的過渡詞，比如：now, in addition, for, in this case, furthermore, in fact
1. The problem, in this case, is hard to solve.
2. Furthermore, several people telephoned the same night.
2) 表示強調(diào)的過渡詞，如：certainly, indeed, above all, surely, most important
1. Indeed, a dessert is always enjoyable.
2. Above all, do not build an open fire in a forest.
3) 表示限制的過渡詞but, however, although, though, yet, except for
1. Yet there was still a chance that he would win.
2. Except for one girl, all the hikers returned.
4) 用以舉例的過渡詞for example, for instance, thus, such, next
1. For instance, a telegram often costs more than a telephone call.
2. Thus the trip finally began.
5) 表示遞進或補充的過渡詞in addition，furthermore，also，moreover，yet
1. In addition, the tour stops in Vancouver.
2. Furthermore, the time for registration has been extended.
6) 表達順序的過渡詞first, second, third, afterward(s)（后來）, meanwhile（幾乎同時）,
thereafter（在那以后）, last, finally, eventually（終于）
1. First, you mail in an application. Second, you ask for an appointment. Third, you send
