Transitions for Better Cohesion

Transitions for Better Cohesion Cohesion is what helps your reader understand the connection between your ideas. Transitions and conjunctions are the words and phrases that build cohesion. Here is a list of cohesion-building words. I have designed the Virtual Writing Tutors Cohesion Checker to measure the cohesion in your text by looking for transitions and conjunctions. When the system detects cohesion in your text, it displays a bar graph showing you what categories of transition words and conjunctions you have used. An example of the feedback from the cohesion checker If you dont use cohesion words in your text, you have a problem. Your writing will seem choppy and disconnected to your reader. On the other extreme, it is also possible to use too many cohesion words, which your reader will find awkward and distracting. Cohesion Words Coordinating Conjunctions and but for nor or so yet Subordinating Conjunctions as as if as though because before even even if if in order that rather than since so that than that though unless until when whenever while Transitions Indicating a Time Order after a long time after a short while afterward at present at the same time at this moment concurrently currently earlier former formerly henceforth hereafter heretofore in retrospect in the future in the past not long after not long ago of late preceding presently previously prior to recently right after right away simultaneously soon after thereafter until now yesterday Transitions Indicating a Contrast different from even though in contrast in opposition to nonetheless on the contrary on the other hand opposing otherwise regardless the antithesis of the reverse of to differ from to differentiate to oppose up against whereas a clear difference a distinct difference a striking difference a strong distinction against although an opposing view and yet another distinction balanced against by contrast contrarily contrary to conversely counter to despite Transitions Indicating a Comparison along the same lines analogous to as compared with as well as by comparison comparable comparatively compared to consistent with correlate correspondingly equal equivalent identical in a similar fashion in comparison in like manner in the same manner in the same way like likewise matching meanwhile of little difference parallel to relative to relatively resemble resembling similarly synonymous to the same extent too uniformly where Transitions Indicating Causes and Effects accordingly as a consequence as a result because of this by reason of caused by consequently due to for this purpose for this reason hence in effect in view of on account of otherwise owing to the end result the outcome the ramifications thereafter therefore thus to this end Transitions Indicating a Sequence at first at last at the beginning at the end at the onset commencing with concluded with concluding with embark final finally first following that from this point immediately in the end in the first in the last in the second in the third in turn initially last later on next occasion once place second /secondly so far starting with subsequently the final point the following week the latter the second stage third to begin with Transitions for Introducing Additional Information again also and then besides following this further furthermore in addition lastly now so too whats more Transitions for Introducing Examples a case in point an analogy another way as an example as an illustration consider consider as an illustration for example for instance for one thing in another case in one example in order to clarify in particular in the following manner in this case in this situation in this specific instance more exactly namely on this occasion specifically such as suppose that take the case of that is to be exact to bring to light to clarify to demonstrate to exemplify to explain to illuminate to illustrate to put another way to show Transitions for Emphasis and Intensification above all actually after all as a matter of fact certainly decidedly definitely equally important especially furthermore in fact increasingly important indeed more emphatically more important moreover most important of all most of all of great concern of major concern primarily significantly surely the crux of the matter the main issue the main problem the major reason there is no question that to emphasize to recapitulate very likely without a doubt without doubt without question Transitions Indicating an Exception however in spite of nevertheless once in a while sometimes still Transitions for Summarizing and Concluding as has been notedas I have saidas I have shownhencein briefin conclusionin shortin sum it followson the wholesumming upthe upshot of all this is thatto concludeto sum upto summarize Transitions Indicating a Concession admittedly concede that granted it is true that while it is true that naturallyof courseto be sure Transitions for Elaborating by extension in other words to elaborate to put it another way to put it bluntly to put it succinctly ultimately Please follow and like us:

How To Negotiate Your Salary

How To Negotiate Your Salary Photo by rawpixel.com from Pexels Be Prepared One of the best ways to assure yourself victory in negotiating your salary is to be prepared. And look at you, reading this very article! You are already working hard to get yourself prepared for salary negotiation. The first step of preparing yourself is to get organized. Start at the beginning. Jot down thoughts and questions you may have about your company, your position, your salary, your achievements, anything. From there, you can create an outline of what exactly your raise should be, when you should get it, why you deserve it, and why you deserve it now. Organizing your thoughts will help you to have a clear head when you go into the negotiations and help you to streamline what you are going to say and what your arguments for getting the higher salary will be. Infographic by Danielle Wirsansky The next step is to do research and learn more about current salary rates are for your industry and, if you can get the information, for the specific company as well. Glassdoor is a really great resource to help you see what the salary rates are for your industry and, if your company is big enough, what it is at your specific company as well. See if you can get any information about what the salary for someone in your position might be nationally and compare it to your own and see what needs to change. You can also talk to recruitersâ€"a lot of people might ignore their calls, but if you are savvy, you can talk to them about what the industry standards are so you can have a better idea of what your raise may be. You might not necessarily be looking for a new job, but talking to them can help you negotiate your salary to a point that you do not need to switch jobs. And if you can’t, talking to the recruiters will show you that you do have other options. All of this research will lead you to a specific pointâ€"and to a specific number. This is because asking for a very specific salary will help you be more likely to actually get that salary. For example, asking for $44,750 a year for your salary is more likely to be accepted by a company in a negation then asking for a flat, unspecific number like $45,000. Researchers at  Columbia Business school  established that “first-offer recipients make greater counteroffer adjustments to round versus precise offers” as well as that “negotiators who make precise first offers are assumed to be more informed than negotiators who make round first offers and that this perception partially mediates the effect of first-offer precision on recipient adjustments.” This is because “…precise numerical expressions imply a greater level of knowledge than round expressions and are therefore assumed by recipients to be more informative of the true value of the good being negotiated.” More than that, going in with a concrete idea of what you want and what you are willing to accept can be very helpful in helping you to achieve results when negotiating your salary. Once you know what you want and what you want to say, practice, practice, practice! You know the old adage, “Practice makes perfect!” Nail down what you want to say, how you want to bring up the topic, all those things that will help you to walk away from that negotiation victorious. Practice in the mirror, rehearse scenarios with your friends, anything that you can do to help get you in the mindset of the negotiation. Finally, make sure that you are truly ready and deserving of this raise. Have you worked at your company for the requisite amount of time (generally at least a year)? Have you exceeded rather than simply only met expectations? Have you had any major achievements or milestones in your career during this period of time with the company? You want most of the answers to these questions to be yes in order to put yourself on the best footing for these salary negotiations. To be informed is to have power. If you know the salary you should be getting according to industry standards, and your company is not willing to give it to you, then you know there are other companies out there that will. Be Confident Another really great tactic to try in your salary negotiations, if you can swing it, is to be confident. Be confident in your approach, in what you are wearing, in what you are saying, and most importantly, in that you deserve a higher salary than you are currently being offered or paid. First of all, you need to know your value. And really know it, deep down. If you are not confident that you bring value to your position, team, and company, then that is going to shine through during the negotiations. And why would the company acknowledge your value if you do not recognize it yourself? There is a line from the book The Perks of Being a Wallflower that goes, “We accept the love we think that we deserve.” Now apply this quote to your salary negotiations. Consider the love to be your salary. The love and recognition you get from your company are demonstrated through your salary. So be confident! Stay strong! And accept only the salary that you think you deserve. Believe in your work and contributions to the company. If you were not being productive and aiding the company, you would not be there. Part of knowing your value is knowing exactly what you deserve too. It is not enough to know that you deserve moreâ€"you need to know exactly how much more you deserve. As discussed earlier in this article, you need to have a specific number on hand in order to negotiate. If you do not have a number, then the negotiations might get away from you, which simply will not due. Many employees make the mistake of offering a range during negotiations. This is not necessarily recommended. There usually is a range in which others in comparable positions in your industry are being paid, and you personally probably have a range in which you are hoping to be paid. But when you offer up a whole range, the company is almost always going to go for the lowest number. They want to pay you as little as possible so that they can still turn a profit. And since it is a number that you put out on the table, it would be a bit of a faux pas to turn around and tell them that their offer, on the low end of the range, is unacceptable. If this salary was not acceptable, then why did you put it on the table? Asking for a salary in the middle range is where many employees often jump too, but why not have the confidence and assume that you are worthy of the top of the salary range? After all, your employers are most likely going to negotiate down from whatever number you offer, so it can be a powerful move to give the high-end number and negotiate down to the middle of the range if you would be perfectly happy with such a number. The final step of being confident during salary negotiation is knowing whenâ€"and being willingâ€"to walk away when the company will not meet your minimum requests. What is the breaking point, the number so low it will cause you to walk away from the negotiation? If the company is not willing to pay you the salary that you know you deserve, not only from your experience, your actions, and the industry standards, then this may not be a company that deserves you. Keep your head up high. Know your worth. And walk away. Photo by rawpixel.com from Pexels Supply a Mini-Resume Another tactic to try during the salary negotiation process is to create something like a mini-resume to hand to your opponent in the negotiation. That way, you can support your argument that you deserve a raise or a higher salary. It is basically a cheat sheet clearly laying out all of your achievements in the last yearâ€"all the awards you may have received, any accomplishments you have made, all the projects you have finished. It shows that you are productive and that not only do you do your work but that you help uphold and maintain the company’s good name. It is proof that you have been an asset to the company. You can even include testimony in this mini resume. It could be from clients, raving about the service you have provided them or their experience working with you. It could also be testimony from your co-workers, crediting you for an achievement within a group setting. Email testimonies will work too! Including these shows that you are a great teammate that works well with others and that clients are very satisfied working with you. Do not just hand them the sheet and expect them to peruse it while you talk about other things. Go over it with them point by point, clearly showcasing your achievements and allowing them to ask any questions they may have. Be sure to bring up occasions where you have gone above and beyond the call of duty in your jobâ€"and then bring up things you are hoping to do in the future and how you plan to go above and beyond there too. This shows the company that they are not going to give you a raise or meet your salary requirements only for you to become complacent. They are paying you to continue that enthusiasm as you move on to new projects. By lowballing you during a salary negotiation, they know there is a chance that you could walk away. And if they do that, their customers and clients will be less than pleased. They will be more likely to work with you on your salary when they are faced with the prospect of losing you if they cannot satisfy your requirements. In the end, whether you get the raise or exactly the salary you wanted, the negotiation process will be a learning experience that will help you. That way, next time, you will be in a stronger place to cinch that dream salary the next time or even increase it. Stay strong and good luck with your salary negotiations!

Three More Tips to Get the Most Out of Your Irvine Tutor

Three More Tips to Get the Most Out of Your Irvine Tutor Get the Most Out of Your Private Orange County Tutor: 3 More Tips Get the Most Out of Your Private Orange County Tutor: 3 More Tips We discussed here three pieces of advice to help you have successful lessons with your new tutor. In short, the tips were to send them your material ahead of time, have specific goals in mind that you want them to help you reach, and to show them your previous graded assignments to review. These are beneficial actions that can best allow your tutor to evaluate your situation beforehand and help you work toward your goals in the sessions book your private Irvine tutor today. Now well talk about advice for a tutoring session itself. Here are three things that you should and shouldnt be doing if you want to get the most out of your lesson. Do Assignments Early One often under-appreciated benefit of having tutoring appointments is that it makes you accountable to someone else to finish your work on time. This benefit can be amplified if you strive to do your work before your tutoring session. This way, you will already know what parts confuse you and what parts you want to focus on before your tutor arrives. This can save time and energy and also reduce the stress caused by procrastinating. Get your assignments done early and use your tutoring appointments as a deadline to make yourself finish work ahead of time â€" youll be grateful you did it later. Be Working and Ready Unless your tutor is bringing you the material you need to study, you should already be working before your tutor arrives. Have your paper/notes/laptop/practice test or whatever necessary materials out and ready. A lot of time is wasted in tutoring sessions by dawdling and getting prepared in the beginning. Get yourself in a studying mindset ahead of time and have your materials ready. This also shows that you are professional and eager to improve â€" good traits to practice displaying for the future. Dont Focus on Complaints One of the most common conversations a tutor has with a new student is the talk about how the student dislikes their class and/or teacher: the teacher is mean or isnt fair, the class is too hard or confusing, other teachers give an easier class, your assignment was graded harshly, the teacher doesnt know how to teach, etc. While many of these problems can be valid â€" there are many terrible teaches and unfair classes out there â€" they shouldnt be a focal point of your Irvine tutoring. If your goal is to improve your grade in a class, then you should be focused on what steps you need to do to accomplish that. You likely arent going to change your teacher; you can only change your approach to studying and working. Its okay to explain the situation and vent to your tutor every once in a while, but dont become one of the students who only want to complain and gossip instead of working to improve. Remember: its you and your Irvine tutor working together to help you reach your goals. If you set yourself up for success with your tutor, then you will be able to achieve it.

10 Reasons to Invest in Foreign Aid

10 Reasons to Invest in Foreign Aid via Pixabay 4. Foreign aid facilitates global connections. Africa is nearing one billion mobile subscriptions, and  Project Loon  is providing WiFi with tennis court-sized balloons. Development goals in several countries look to increase total global connectedness to the internet, which means access to healthcare information and job sites as well as social media. 5. Foreign aid inspires innovation.   American tech company initiatives, such as  4Afrika  by Microsoft, fund local tech start-ups. For example, the Cardiopad, a touchpad device for heart exams and a breakthrough in medical technology, was invented in Cameroon. 6. Foreign aid helps the environment. The connection between global poverty and carbon dioxide emissions may not be obvious at first, but diversification of energy sources means new jobs and resources for everyone. As the global economy grows, emissions  go down. 7. Foreign aid promotes equality for women. More women are running for officeâ€"and  winning seatsâ€"than ever before. Reducing poverty through donations to foreign aid offers women access to education and healthcare, improving their financial and social independence. via Pixabay 8. Foreign aid helps stabilize states in conflict.   A 2017  study  published in the Global Health Journal found that “The highest quartile of US health aid per capita spending was associated with a large and immediate decline in the level of state fragility.” This means that places with more humanitarian aid are less likely to erupt with violence and collapse, making a safer place for everyone. 9. Foreign aid hinders the influence of terrorist groups.   Groups like ISIS are successful in poorer regions, incentivizing new recruits with the promise of resources. If foreign aid provides resources to these regions first, terrorist groups suffer a major blow to their campaign of fear. As U.S. Senator  Lindsey Graham  (R-SC) said in a 2017 argument for funding foreign aid programs, “The worst nightmare for al Qaeda is to come into a community that feels supported and has hope.” 10. Foreign aid has a chance to produce a direct return. A charitable donation to a foreign aid organization with 501(c)(3) status is claimable on tax returns. Buying stock in Kroger is not.
