Editing & Revising
Part A: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. Words like "however," "therefore," and "meanwhile" are called transition words.
2. Combining two short sentences with a conjunction improves sentence fluency.
3. The transition word "however" signals that a contrasting idea is coming next.
4. Beginning every sentence with "I" makes writing sound repetitive.
5. The words "for example" and "such as" introduce specific details that support the main idea.
6. A writer can vary sentence structure by mixing short punchy sentences with longer descriptive ones.
7. The transition "as a result" is used to show the effect of something that happened earlier.
8. Moving a dependent clause to the beginning of a sentence can create variety in your writing.
9. The transition phrase "in conclusion" signals the writer is wrapping up the final idea.
Part B: Matching
Match each item on the left to the correct answer on the right.
1. Match each item to its correct answer.
"I like soccer. I like basketball. I like swimming."
→ Combine with a list: "I enjoy soccer, basketball, and swimming."
Combine with "and then": "We went to the store and then bought milk."
