Fun fact, some of them don't speak Spanish either.

They speak indigenous languages that this won't help with.

Trump administration ending in-person interpreters at immigrants’ first hearings

Tal Kopan | Published July 3, 2019 | San Francisco Chronicle | Posted July 7, 2019 |

WASHINGTON — The Trump administration is preparing to replace in-court interpreters at initial immigration court hearings with videos informing asylum seekers and other immigrants facing deportation of their rights, The Chronicle has learned.

The administration portrays the change as a cost-saving measure for an immigration court system bogged down under a growing backlog. But advocates for immigrants are concerned the new procedure could jeopardize their due-process rights, add confusion and potentially make the system less efficient by causing more of them to go underground or appeal cases.

The Justice Department informed the nation’s immigration judges of the change last month at a training session, multiple sources familiar with the situation told The Chronicle.

At issue are “master calendar” hearings where immigration judges meet with undocumented immigrants, usually dozens of them, in rapid succession to schedule their cases and to inform them of their rights. The quick sessions are intended mainly to be sure the immigrants understand what is happening and know when their next hearing will be and what steps they need to take in the interim.

Under the new plan, which the Justice Department told judges could be rolled out by mid-July, a video recorded in multiple languages would play, informing immigrants of their rights and the course of the proceedings. But after that, if immigrants have questions, want to say something to the judge or if the judge wants to confirm they understand, no interpreter would be provided.

Many of the immigrants come from Central America, but collectively they speak a diverse range of indigenous languages and sometimes don’t know Spanish. Immigrants from all over the world also come before the court system, which is run by the Justice Department.

The shift would especially affect immigrants who do not have attorneys to explain proceedings. Many immigrants lack representation at the initial hearing, and legal services around the country say they are being stretched thin. The government does not provide attorneys.

Instead of turning to an in-court interpreter, judges would have to rely on any who happen to be in the building for other purposes, or call a telephone service for on-demand translation that judges say can be woefully inadequate or substantially delayed.

“It’s a disaster in the making,” one judge said, speaking on condition of anonymity because the person did not have Justice Department approval to talk publicly. “What if you have an individual that speaks an indigenous language and has no education and is completely illiterate? You think showing them a video is going to completely inform them of their rights? How are they supposed to ask questions of the judge?”

The Justice Department billed the move as a cost-saving measure. Sources familiar with the interpreter situation say there have been ongoing issues with the budget and the contract with the primary interpreter provider, leading the administration to encourage more use of the telephone service and look for other ways to keep costs down.

A Justice Department official who was not authorized to speak on the record said the shift away from in-person interpretation was “part of an effort to be good stewards of (the department’s) limited resources.” The official said the direction to judges was not a policy change, but declined to elaborate.

The immigration judges union, the National Association of Immigration Judges, said the change was another in a line of steps the administration has taken to force judges to do more with fewer resources at the risk of fairness.

Asked to comment, union President Ashley Tabaddor, a judge in Los Angeles, said the Justice Department had not given enough notice for the union to raise objections or provide input on the change.

She dismissed budget concerns as a justification.

“Interpreter cost is not a surprise cost — it’s an integral part of every case,” Tabaddor said. “If they actually look at the courts as a real court, they would never be dismissive of the role of an interpreter. But the fact that we are here and have these budget shortfalls means they have prioritized the budget in a way that is dismissive of the integral role of the interpreters, and reflects the flaw of having the courts run by a law enforcement agency.”

The immigration courts have been overwhelmed for years with a burgeoning load that is now approaching 1 million cases. The judges association has advocated for the courts to be removed from the Justice Department and made an independent system.

The Trump administration has made a series of efforts it says are intended to speed up the process and avoid having hundreds of thousands of immigrants build lives in the U.S. while waiting to learn if they will be deported. Critics, including immigration lawyers and advocates and some judges, say many of the changes have actually undermined the system, confusing immigrants and creating grounds for lengthy appeals.

Some judges said it’s common at master calendar hearings for immigrants to misunderstand the advice to find a lawyer. Some conclude that means they should not return for their next hearing if they don’t have a lawyer. Failing to appear is grounds for a deportation order.

The system is “not an assembly line,” said Jeffrey Chase, a former immigration judge and former senior legal adviser to the immigration appeals court who now volunteers for organizations that provide legal assistance to immigrants. He said the master calendar is most immigrants’ first impression ever of a court system, and that a lack of interpreters and interaction with a judge could foster a sense of distrust.

“You’re dealing with people’s lives,” Chase said. “All kinds of crazy issues arise. Sometimes there’s a health issue, and you need to be able to communicate to find this stuff out.

“And also, people come in so afraid,” Chase said. “If they’re able to talk with the judge and realize, ‘This person is a human being and they’re able to work with me’ — being played a tape reinforces this feeling that, ‘I’m dealing with this deportation machine.’”

Chase said concerns about the cost and length of the process are legitimate, but he questioned the administration’s way of addressing them.

“You always hear the word ‘efficiency’ from this administration now, and it’s very infrequent that you hear ‘due process’ or ‘justice,’” Chase said. “There’s no longer concern about the balance. It’s totally efficiency-heavy these days, and I think it’s being decided by people who haven’t been in the court much and don’t understand the consequences.”

This is long, but I thought I’d post just on the outside chance anybody might find it worth reading. It’s part three of a series of articles I wrote years ago, and it includes information on modern day politicians’ use of political propaganda. I might post the other parts later.

Goebbels and mass mind control: Part Three

How PR opinion-shapers undermine the people's political power

In parts one and two, we compared the methods of Hitler's propagandist, Joseph Goebbels, with the PR techniques of today's corporate spin doctors. We also looked at the ways in which corporate PR spin works against the public interest regarding health care and the environment. Now we'll explore the ways that corporate propaganda undermines the political power of ordinary citizens.

Journalist Frank Rich wrote in a recent New York Times opinion piece that he felt he was living through a Twilight Zone episode when he read the Palm Beach Post's scoop saying that Palm Beach's butterfly ballot cost Al Gore "about 6,600 votes, more than 10 times what he needed to overcome George W. Bush's slim lead in Florida." Rich said the reason it felt as if he had entered the Twilight Zone, was because, beyond Palm Beach, he could find no sign such a thing had happened.

"I turned on my TV," writes Rich, "and had to search to find a mention of the Post's story. It might as well have been a hallucination."

In an article entitled "The Invisible People," (The Progressive, March 2001) June Jordan writes about Election 2000's disenfranchised African-American voters and the corporate-owned news media's neglect of the story. Jordan, a noted author and professor of African-American Studies at the University of California-Berkeley, says, "We have moved from The Invisible Man to The Invisible People. It's a raging and a sorrow at the terrible meaning of that discount - for us, and for democracy itself."

The corporate-owned news media "invents reality," as author and educator Michael Parenti has said, by instructing the American people on which news stories are real, and which facts to ignore. Parenti has also written (Land of Idols, St. Martin's Press, 1994) that our political system can be seen in one of three ways:

1. "A conservative celebration of the wonders of our free-market society, coupled with an insistence that capitalism would be still more wonderful were it not for meddlesome government regulations and the demands of undeserving, low-income people who feed out of the public trough."

2. A liberal complaint about "aberrant problems that remain in an otherwise basically good System."

3. A radical analysis "that sees ecological crisis, military interventions, the national security State, homelessness, poverty, an inequitable tax system, and undemocratic social institutions, such as the corporate-owned media, not as irrational outcomes of a basically rational system, but as rational results of a system whose central goal is the accumulation of wealth and power for the few."

Parenti adds that if you take the radical analysis perspective, you "cross an invisible line and will be labeled in mainstream circles a 'conspiracy theorist.'" He notes that Abraham Lincoln might today be dismissed as a conspiracy theorist, because Lincoln once observed in a speech, "These capitalists generally act harmoniously, and in concert, to fleece the people."

However, Parenti adds that the corporation/ruling class's mode of operation is systemic and institutional rather than conspiratorial. The fact that corporate domination is built into our existing political system, and into many of our institutions, makes it a more daunting problem than a grand and aberrant conspiracy might be.

In a brilliant article for Online Journal (4/24/01), Scott Morschhauser took up the same issue, pointing out that the label "conspiracy theory' is used by those defending corporate interests the same way they use the label 'communist.' If you are successful at pinning a person or idea with a negative label, then the public will ignore the message. It doesn't matter whether or not the label fits. The facts don't matter. All that you have to do is accuse."

When corporate PR teams are able to confuse the public by spinning citizen dissenters as "conspiracy theorists" or as "wacko, tree-hugging environmentalists" or as "extremist fringe," they are able to marginalize activists and dilute their political effectiveness. Journalist Norman Solomon once suggested that rather than succumbing to media manipulation, we can "tune up our personal and collective 'radar screens' to track unidentified flying propaganda."

In False Hope, (Common Courage Press, 1994) Solomon also discusses the subject of public confusion. He writes about the various ways in which corporate PR spin and media "illusion-making" confuse the public. Solomon quotes Anne Wilson Schaef on the results of this kind of confusion:

"First, it keeps us powerless and controllable. No one is more controllable than a confused person; no society is more controllable than a confused society. Politicians know this better than anyone, and that is why they use innuendo, veiled references, and out-and-out lies instead of speaking clearly and truthfully.

"Second, it keeps us ignorant. Professionals give their clients confusing information cloaked in intimidating language that lay-people cannot understand. They preserve their one-up status while preventing us from learning about our own bodies, our legal rights, and our psychology.

"Third, it keeps us from taking responsibility for our own lives. No one expects confused people to own up to the things they think, say, or do . . Fourth, it keeps us busy. When we must spend all our time and energy trying to figure out what is going on, we have none left over for reflecting on the system, challenging it, or exploring alternatives to it."

A confused person will stay stuck within the corporate-dominated system, because creating new options requires mental clarity. Confusion also causes numbness and political passivity.

Frank Rich's "Twilight Zone" experience of the media's ignoring the butterfly ballot story, and June Jordan's sense that African-Americans have become invisible, are normal, healthy responses to the corporate media's lying about reality. When the people see one reality with their own eyes, and simultaneously the corporate media denies that reality, the effect is gas-lighting.

People need truthfulness about politics in order to operate powerfully in the world. Truth is one of psychologist Abraham Maslow's "meta-needs." It has always been a high priority for the world's spiritual and philosophical thinkers. Factual information is a necessary foundation in order for ordinary Americans to set priorities for political action and organize accordingly.

A high priority concern might be weighing corporate interests against the public interest. Another priority might be clearly deciding what our values are. Corporate spokespeople sometimes try to blur the distinction between, for example, good-versus-harmful effects on the environment, or good-versus-harmful health care proposals.

Some corporate spokespeople claim terms such as "good" or "truth" or "justice" can only be vague, misleading "weasel words," despite the fact that philosophers from Aristotle, to the various Enlightenment-era philosophers, to today's best political thinkers have used such terms freely, and have helped clarify their meaning.

For example, the dialogues of Plato explore the meaning of the word "justice." Harvard Professor John Rawls has said, "A just basic structure will be one which produces a proper distribution of prospects of obtaining primary goods, such as income and health care."

How do we define "good" or "harmful" for purposes of the subject at hand? Let's just play with possible working definitions, for the sake of argument. Those options which are "good" could be defined as options that promote health, safety and well-being for the largest number of people, in a kind, egalitarian manner, without discrimination against race, sexual orientation, religion or lack of religion.

Those options which are "harmful" might be defined as ones that destroy health, safety and well-being for large numbers of people in order that corporations can increase their profits, without regard for kindness, egalitarianism, and with (at times) discrimination based on race (as during the Florida election debacle, racial profiling, etc.), sexual orientation, religion or lack of religion.

Are there gray areas within those definitions? Yes. Are there complexities, and is there room for debate? Of course. However, the lines between good and harmful; right and wrong; public health and public detriment are not as blurry as many corporate spokespeople would have us think . . . or, more precisely, would "confuse" us to think.

Thomas Jefferson said repeatedly that democracy could work only if the electorate were "fully informed." He said, "I know of no safe depository of the ultimate power of the society but the people themselves; and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome direction, the remedy is not to take it from them, but to inform their discretion."

Thomas Paine, in "The Rights of Man," urged "education for one million and thirty thousand children," saying that "the poor laws, those instruments of civil torture will be superceded" by an informed public given a modicum of "comfortable provision" by government.

Paine also wrote that as a result of a better informed and educated public, and of government's providing some assistance for the poor, "The hearts of the humane will not be shocked by ragged and hungry children, and persons of seventy and eighty years of age begging for bread. The dying poor will not be dragged from place to place to breathe their last . . . The poor as well as the rich, will then be interested in the support of government, and the cause and apprehension of riots and tumults will cease."

Some media propagandists such as Rush Limbaugh and his many clones often say, in their usual Orwellian style, that government assistance for the poor actually hurts the poor. Never mind that the Limbaugh types also generally claim to be of the Judeo-Christian tradition. It's interesting to contrast their "screw-the-poor" comments with those attributed to Christ, such as, "What you do for the least of these, you do for me," or with a typical Hebrew proverb, such as, "When a needy man stands at your door, God stands at his side." And, of course, to corporate mouthpieces such as Limbaugh, agnostic or "pagan" humanists (such as Thomas Paine) who might suggest assisting the poor don't count at all.

Former radio talk show host, Neal Boortz, has said, "That bum sitting on a heating grate, smelling like a wharf, is there by choice. He is there because of the sum total of the choices he has made in his life." ("The Terrible Truth About Liberals," Longstreet Press, 1998.) Boortz implies people are never poor due to being laid off from a job by a corporation that moved offshore in order to pay slave wages; or due to sudden overwhelming medical bills; or, least of all, due to flaws within the corporate-dominated system itself.

Boortz also says this country is a republic rather than a democracy. He claims that the view that this country is meant to be a democracy is an "insidious idea planted by the Left, by liberals anxious to expand the role of government and their own power." Limbaugh often says the same about democracy, and such antidemocratic views have been popular among many right-wing groups in recent years, just they were in Nazi Germany.

The fact is, America is not merely a republic, but a democratic republic. This country has a strong democratic lineage. The above comments by Jefferson and Paine have to do with enhancing American democracy. Activists who worked toward civil rights, women's rights, labor rights and many other social causes, have helped strengthen democracy within the nation.

In parts one and two, we showed that Hitler and his propagandist, Goebbels, worked to dismantle democracy. They accomplished their goal in part by using PR spin, in order to confuse the people and convince them that democracy wasn't good for them. Through propaganda, Goebbels created a national "Twilight Zone," making the Jewish people invisible, marginalizing dissenters and rendering potential activists powerless.

Somehow, it has turned out that corporate America's PR spin has also taken aim against democracy, confused the people, created a national "Twilight Zone," made ordinary Americans (especially Jewish and African-Americans) invisible, marginalized dissenters and rendered potential activists powerless.

Ordinary Americans have been rendered at least so powerless that we have not yet found a way to persuade our elected representatives to enforce laws that would curb corporate excesses when it comes to polluting the environment; to create legislation that would give this country affordable pharmaceutical drugs or a good health care system; or to bring back the Fairness Doctrine or create similar new legislation, so that our nation's news media is not entirely corporate-controlled.

In a Showtime movie aired this week, Varian's War, the lead character (played by William Hurt) helped bring around 2,000 artists and intellectuals to America, to escape the Nazi Holocaust. A character played by the actor Alan Arkin described the Nazis as "destroying everything they do not understand, which is everything that makes life beautiful and sweet and pure."

Corporate polluters, health care opponents, and illusion-makers, probably don't understand that they are contributing to the destruction of (almost) everything that makes life beautiful, sweet and pure. However, it is up to ordinary Americans with clear vision to toss a little light on the subject. In our proposed working definition of "good," working to preserve the beautiful, sweet and pure things in life has to figure in somewhere. It is a better way to spend a life than screwing the poor, plundering the earth and grubbing for corporate profit.

What’s the function of the thesis declaration?

What’s the function of the thesis declaration writemypapers.org coupons?

The thesis statement guides you, helping you to concentrate pursuit paper and outline what you will really compose. It allows one to make clear your determine and thinking what is relevant and unimportant while you do your homework. Your quest paper needs to be thesis-driven. a highschool degree “report” will likely not get a moving grade. The thesis must pull together the analysis that follows. Your thesis statement must certanly be particular – it will protect just what you will really talk about in your quest paper and must certanly be supported with certain proof. The thesis statement frequently seems by the end associated with very first paragraph of the paper. At the beginning of your paper i ought to manage to find the thesis declaration. You“Where may be the thesis declaration? if we ask” you need to be in a position to point out it straight away.

How will you show up having a thesis declaration?

A thesis could be the consequence of a long reasoning procedure and careful deliberation after research. Formulating a thesis just isn’t the thing that is first do after reading a writing project. You have to collect and organize evidence, look for possible relationships between known facts (such as surprising contrasts or similarities), and think about the significance of these relationships before you develop an argument on any topic. When you try this thinking, you are going to have a “working thesis,” a simple primary concept, a disagreement which you think you are able to help with proof but which will require adjustment on the way. Your subject may alter significantly so you may need to revise your thesis statement to reflect exactly what you have discussed in the paper as you write.

Thesis Statement Samples:

1) The non-thesis thesis: you need to have a stand or end that is you’ll by having a “non-thesis thesis.” a) Bad Thesis 1: inside the article, Stanley Fish demonstrates we don’t obviously have the best to speech that is free. b) Bad Thesis 2: This paper shall look at the benefits and drawbacks of particular limitations on free message. c) Better Thesis 1: Stanley Fish’s argument that free message exists more as being a governmental award than being an appropriate truth ignores the truth that even while a governmental reward it nevertheless serves the social end of fabricating a broad social environment of threshold that could eventually promote free message inside our country just like effortlessly as any law that is binding. d) Better Thesis 2: despite the fact that there could be considerable advantageous assets to hate that is restricting, the likelihood of chilling available dialogue on essential racial problems is simply too great and too much an amount to cover. 2) The thesis that is overly broad A thesis ought to be as specific as you are able to, also it must certanly be tailored to reflect the range associated with paper. It is really not feasible, by way of example, to publish concerning the reputation for English literature in a paper that is five-page. Along with selecting just an inferior subject, techniques to slim a thesis include specifying a technique or viewpoint or delineating limits that are certain. a) Bad Thesis 1: there must be no limitations regarding the First Amendment. b) Bad Thesis 2: the us government gets the directly to limit speech that is free. c) Better Thesis 1: there ought to be no limitations in the First Amendment if those limitations are meant simply to protect people from unspecified or elsewhere unquantifiable or unverifiable “emotional stress.” d) Better Thesis 2: the us government gets the straight to limit speech that is free situations of overtly racist or sexist language because our failure to handle such abuses would effortlessly claim that our culture condones such ignorant and hateful views. 3) The incontestable thesis: A thesis needs to be arguable. Plus in purchase for this to be arguable, it should provide a view that some one might fairly contest. Often a thesis finally claims, “people should always be good,” or “bad things are bad.” Such thesis statements are redundant roughly universally accepted that there surely is need not show the purpose. a) Bad Thesis 1: Although we possess the directly to say everything we want, we must avoid harming other people’s feelings. b) Bad Thesis 2: you can find constantly options to using racist message. c) Better Thesis 1: Whenever we can accept that psychological injuries could be just like painful as real ones we must restrict message which will harm people’s feelings in many ways much like the method we restrict message which will lead right to physical damage. d) Better Thesis 2: The “fighting words” exception to speech that is free maybe perhaps perhaps not genuine as it wrongly considers message being an action. 4) The essay that is“list thesis: A good argumentative thesis provides not just a posture on a concern but in addition implies the dwelling for the paper. The thesis should allow your reader to assume and anticipate the movement for the paper, by which a series of points logically shows the essay’s assertion that is main. An inventory essay provides no structure that is such to ensure various points and paragraphs look arbitrary without any rational link with the other person. a) Bad Thesis 1: there are lots of reasons we have to limit hate speech. b) Bad Thesis 2: a few of the arguments and only regulating pornography are persuasive. c) Better Thesis 1: one of many reasons we must limit hate speech the essential compelling people all relate to our reputation for discrimination and prejudice, and it’s also, finally, for the intended purpose of attempting to repair our troubled racial culture that we need hate message legislation. d) Better Thesis 2: a number of the arguments in support of regulating pornography are persuasive whether such a profession would be on a list of professions they would desire for their daughters or mothers because they ask pornography proponents to ask themselves. 5) The research paper thesis: an additional course this could be appropriate, and, in reality, potentially desirable. However in this type of program, a thesis declaration which makes a claim that is factual may be verified only with clinical, sociological, emotional, or other form of experimental proof just isn’t appropriate. You’ll want to build a thesis with a definitive judgment that you are prepared to prove using the tools you have available, without having to consult the world’s leading expert on the issue to provide you. a) Bad Thesis 1: People in the us are not prepared to give up on the concept of free speech today. b) Bad Thesis 2: Hate message could cause psychological pain and putting up with in victims in the same way intense as physical battery pack. c) Better Thesis 1: set up social notion of free message bears any regards to the fact of first amendment legislation and jurisprudence, its continuing function that is social a promoter of threshold and intellectual exchange trumps the call for politicization (relating to Fish’s agenda) for the term. d) Better Thesis 2: the many arguments resistant to the legislation of hate message be determined by the unspoken and unexamined presumption that emotional discomfort is trivial.

How can I understand if my thesis is strong? If there’s time, run it by a teacher or make a scheduled appointment in the composing Center getting some feedback (https://ift.tt/2BGQMlu). Also should you not have enough time to have advice somewhere else, you can certainly do some thesis assessment of your. When reviewing your very first draft of one’s working thesis, consider the following: 1) Do we answer comprehensively the question? Re-reading the question prompt after constructing a thesis that is working allow you to fix an argument that misses the focus associated with the concern. 2) Have we taken a posture that other people might challenge or oppose? In case the thesis merely states facts that no body would, and sometimes even could, disagree with, it is feasible that you’re just supplying a synopsis, in the place of making a disagreement. 3) Is my thesis declaration specific sufficient? Thesis statements which can be too obscure frequently don’t have an argument that is strong. In the event your thesis contains words like “good” or “successful,” see in the event that you could possibly be more particular: exactly why is something “good”; exactly just just what especially makes something “successful”? 4) Does my thesis pass the “So just what?” test? Then you need to clarify, to forge a relationship, or to connect to a larger issue if a reader’s first response is, “So what. 5) Does my essay help my thesis specifically and without wandering? Should your thesis plus the human anatomy of the essay usually do not appear to get together, one of these has got to alter. It is ok to alter your working thesis to mirror things you have got figured away in this course of composing your paper. Remember, constantly reassess and revise your writing as necessary. 6) Does my thesis pass the “how and exactly why?” test? In cases where a reader’s very first response is “how?” or “why?” your thesis can be too open-ended and lack guidance for your reader. See just what you can include to provide your reader a better take on the place from the comfort of the start.

How to Use Transitional Phrases to Keep Your Readers Sliding Down the Page

Some writers seem to have a magic touch…

One minute you’re reading their opening, and before you know it, you’ve reached the end of their article.

Their content reads so smoothly, it’s almost impossible to stop.

So how do they do it?

Well, great writers are meticulous about making each line flow seamlessly into the next. They understand how important it is for the reader to have a smooth reading experience, and they make sure to fix anything that would cause friction.

And one powerful way they do so is by using transitional phrases.

So today you’ll learn how to use them yourself. But first, let’s examine why they’re so important.

The Little Secret That Copywriters Have Known for Ages

Copywriters have known this for a long time:

The primary purpose of every paragraph you write is not to make a point, or to build your argument, or to convey valuable information. It’s to get your reader to read the next paragraph.

Famous copywriter Maxwell Ross likened this to a “bucket brigade.” Let me explain why…

In the days before fire trucks and pressure hoses, people would put out fires by forming a human chain. They would pass a bucket of water from one person to the next until the last person finally threw it onto the fire.

In those days, it was vital the chain remained unbroken. If the bucket wasn’t passed smoothly from one person to the next, the water would spill and not make it to the fire.

Likewise, each paragraph (and really, each sentence) you write must pass the reader on to the next. And just like in a real bucket brigade, the chain must be unbroken, or you will “spill” readers along the way, which means they won’t make it to the end of your article.

And that’s where transitional phrases come in.

How Transitional Phrases “Lubricate” Your Writing So Readers Slide from Line to Line

Have you ever been with a group of friends and someone suddenly makes a random comment that doesn’t follow from anything that anyone else has said?

I bet you have — we all have.

It’s a strange moment — everyone (except the person who made the comment) just looks at each other, bewildered.

Well, writing without transitions is like that.

It causes friction in your reader’s mind and leaves them scratching their head, wondering “How do you get from this to that?”

Any piece of writing is a series of ideas, propositions, and arguments placed one after the other.

But those ideas need to be linked to each other. You need transitional words and phrases to help readers understand how ideas relate to each other. Without them, readers will feel like you’re switching from idea to idea too abruptly, and in most cases, you’ll leave them feeling confused.

Want to know how to do it right? Take, for example, this excerpt from Jon Morrow’s post How to Make Money Blogging: How This Blog Makes $100K per Month:

Even if you’re making fantastic money from affiliate marketing or selling services, chances are you’ll want to try your hand at developing your own product at some point. So, where should you start?

My answer: with blogs, the most profitable price is usually the end of the funnel. Here’s what I mean…

You’ve seen a sales funnel, right? A company entices you with a freebie, then they offer you something cheap but irresistible, and then they gradually sweet talk you into buying more and more expensive stuff. It’s a tried and true marketing tactic, and you should absolutely build a sales funnel for your blog.

What you might not know is you should build it in reverse.

A lot of bloggers launch a cheap e-book as their first product, and then they get frustrated when they don’t make much money. Here’s why: the real profit is at the end of the funnel, not the beginning.

You might note that these phrases don’t convey any information. All they do is make the ride smoother. All they do is connect one idea to another.

The good news is, you probably already use transitional phrases in your writing to some extent. Most people use them naturally. However…

There’s a special class of transitional phrases that many bloggers don’t even know about.

13 Exceptionally Engaging Transitions That Readers Can’t Resist

Remember Maxwell Ross, the “bucket brigade” guy?

He had a list of transitional phrases that don’t just help readers transition from one idea to the other, but actively work to keep those readers engaged.

These phrases keep readers glued to the page by either evoking their curiosity or by hinting that something important is about to come.

They give a jolt to readers’ brains, waking them up and demanding they pay attention.

Make no mistake; these phrases are powerful. Backlinko’s Brian Dean credits them for readers staying on his pages for an average of four minutes (which is a lot). Brian uses these transitional phrases in all of his articles (as you can see in the screenshots below).

So let’s dive in.

#1: The “Mind Reader” Transition

How it works: You claim to know what the reader is thinking, or you assume the reader agrees with something you’re about to say. The reader will then want to find out if you’re right.

Examples:

I know what you’re thinking…

And now, you’re thinking…

I can almost hear you thinking…

You guessed it…

I’m sure you’re with me on this one…

Here’s something we can both agree on…

I think you’ll agree with me when I say…

You must be wondering…

#2. The “Can’t Miss This” Transition

How it works: You literally tell the reader you’re about to share an important piece of information. Nobody wants to miss anything important, which is why this simple phrase will pique your reader’s attention.

Examples:

Now, this is important…

Here’s the interesting part…

Here’s the bottom line…

Here’s why that’s important…

So what’s my point?

And the best part is…

You don’t want to miss this next part…

It all boils down to this…

#3: The “Important Insight” Transition

How it works: You hint you’re about to share an important insight or discovery. Your reader will be curious to find out what it is.

Examples:

That’s when I realized…

And then it hit me…

Here’s what we found instead…

I finally understood that…

Then it finally dawned on me…

But guess what I realized just in the nick of time…

You won’t believe what we discovered…

#4: The “There’s a Catch” Transition

How it works: You hint at a problem or obstacle that might keep the reader from reaching their desired goal. The reader will want to know what the problem is (and they’ll assume you’ll also provide the solution).

Examples:

But there’s a catch…

So what’s the catch?

There’s just one problem…

The problem is…

Here’s the main issue with that…

And this is where people run into trouble…

That’s when you might hit a snag…

#5: The “Big Answer” Transition

How it works: As I said, after you identify a problem, you have to offer a solution. That’s where this transition comes in. When you’ve just told readers about a problem they’ll be facing, they’ll want to know how to solve it.

Examples:

So what’s the solution?

Fortunately, there’s a simple solution…

The solution is simple…

Here’s the big secret…

The answer?

The trick is to…

Here’s how you solve this…

#6: The “But Wait, There’s More” Transition

How it works: You use this transition when your strategy or product has two (or more) big benefits. Typically, you’d start with the most important benefit first, and then use this phrase to transition into the additional benefits.

Examples:

But wait, there’s more…

But that’s not all…

It gets better…

And I’m not stopping there…

As if that’s not enough…

And on top of that…

#7: The “Exemplary Example” Transition

How it works: You introduce an example (obviously). Readers tend to pay attention to examples because they help contextualize the theory they’ve just learned.

Examples:

For example…

Take Billy’s story, for example…

Here’s a little case study of this strategy in action…

Case in point…

Just look at what happened to…

#8: The “Lifting the Veil” Transition

How it works: You hint at a clarification or supplementation of the preceding text. Readers will pay attention because they realize it will help them understand the information better.

Examples:

I’ll explain…

Let me elaborate…

Let me walk you through…

Let me lift the veil for you…

Let me break this down for you…

Here’s what I mean…

Let me clarify…

#9: The “How To” Transition

How it works: You transition from the theoretical to the practical. You introduce the steps the reader must take to get the promised result. This is the reason most of them are reading your article in the first place, so it will make them sit up.

Examples:

Here’s how to do it yourself…

Here’s how you can do the same thing…

How?

Here’s how…

You’re about to find out how…

But how do you… ?

Let me tell you how…

#10: The “Stay with Me” Transition

How it works: You command the reader to stay on the page. Use this phrase whenever the reader might have doubts about a bold or shocking claim, or after you’ve doled out some complicated information. Most readers will feel compelled to comply.

Examples:

Stay with me now…

Stick with me here, because…

Keep reading…

Don’t stop reading now…

I know that’s a lot to take in, but bear with me…

#11: The “Curious Question” Transition

How it works: Questions engage the reader’s brain and make them feel like they’re part of a conversation (rather than being lectured). And of course, whenever you pose a question, the reader will want to know the answer, which means they have to keep reading.

Examples:

But what does that mean?

But what exactly is…?

Why is that?

Why does this work?

How do I know?

Is it true?

But what if… ?

But where can you find… ?

So when do you use… ?

#12: The “Rhetorical Question” Transition

How it works: Rhetorical questions engage the reader’s brain in the same way as curious questions. The only difference is that curious questions hint at an upcoming answer, whereas rhetorical questions assume the answer. This will prime the reader to agree with you.

Examples:

You see my point, right?

Do you see how huge this is?

Don’t you wish… ?

Is that something you’d like for your business?

How awesome is that?

Do you ever wonder… ?

Sound good?

Amazing, isn’t it?

#13: The “Guess What Happened” Transition

How it works: You hint at the conclusion of the events or the result of the activities you’ve covered. Readers understand that this is one of the most crucial parts of your article or story, so they pay attention.

Examples:

Guess what happened?

Here’s what happened next…

Even I was surprised at what happened next…

You won’t believe how the story ends…

These were our results…

The result?

Master Your Transitions and Watch Reader Engagement Shoot Up

When you master the art of transitioning, you’ll notice that readers will stay on your posts longer. You’ll notice more of them will read your posts to the end.

Don’t get me wrong; these phrases aren’t magic. They won’t turn a bad article into a good one.

But they can help turn a good article into a great one.

You still have to write content that’s, you know, of interest to your audience. But if you do, these phrases can help keep your readers glued to the page. One minute they’ll be reading your opening lines, and before they know it, they’ll have reached the end of your article.

So sprinkle transitional phrases throughout your content, and one day, you’ll check your analytics and notice people are spending a lot more time on your posts.

That’s when you know they’re doing their job.

Sounds pretty good, right?

How to Use Transitional Phrases to Keep Your Readers Sliding Down the Page

Some writers seem to have a magic touch…

One minute you’re reading their opening, and before you know it, you’ve reached the end of their article.

Their content reads so smoothly, it’s almost impossible to stop.

So how do they do it?

And one powerful way they do so is by using transitional phrases.

So today you’ll learn how to use them yourself. But first, let’s examine why they’re so important.

The Little Secret That Copywriters Have Known for Ages

Copywriters have known this for a long time:

The primary purpose of every paragraph you write is not to make a point, or to build your argument, or to convey valuable information. It’s to get your reader to read the next paragraph.

Famous copywriter Maxwell Ross likened this to a “bucket brigade.” Let me explain why…

In those days, it was vital the chain remained unbroken. If the bucket wasn’t passed smoothly from one person to the next, the water would spill and not make it to the fire.

And that’s where transitional phrases come in.

How Transitional Phrases “Lubricate” Your Writing So Readers Slide from Line to Line

Have you ever been with a group of friends and someone suddenly makes a random comment that doesn’t follow from anything that anyone else has said?

I bet you have — we all have.

It’s a strange moment — everyone (except the person who made the comment) just looks at each other, bewildered.

Well, writing without transitions is like that.

It causes friction in your reader’s mind and leaves them scratching their head, wondering “How do you get from this to that?”

Any piece of writing is a series of ideas, propositions, and arguments placed one after the other.

Want to know how to do it right? Take, for example, this excerpt from Jon Morrow’s post How to Make Money Blogging: How This Blog Makes $100K per Month:

My answer: with blogs, the most profitable price is usually the end of the funnel. Here’s what I mean…

What you might not know is you should build it in reverse.

You might note that these phrases don’t convey any information. All they do is make the ride smoother. All they do is connect one idea to another.

The good news is, you probably already use transitional phrases in your writing to some extent. Most people use them naturally. However…

There’s a special class of transitional phrases that many bloggers don’t even know about.

13 Exceptionally Engaging Transitions That Readers Can’t Resist

Remember Maxwell Ross, the “bucket brigade” guy?

He had a list of transitional phrases that don’t just help readers transition from one idea to the other, but actively work to keep those readers engaged.

These phrases keep readers glued to the page by either evoking their curiosity or by hinting that something important is about to come.

They give a jolt to readers’ brains, waking them up and demanding they pay attention.

So let’s dive in.

#1: The “Mind Reader” Transition

How it works: You claim to know what the reader is thinking, or you assume the reader agrees with something you’re about to say. The reader will then want to find out if you’re right.

Examples:

I know what you’re thinking…

And now, you’re thinking…

I can almost hear you thinking…

You guessed it…

I’m sure you’re with me on this one…

Here’s something we can both agree on…

I think you’ll agree with me when I say…

You must be wondering…

#2. The “Can’t Miss This” Transition

Examples:

Now, this is important…

Here’s the interesting part…

Here’s the bottom line…

Here’s why that’s important…

So what’s my point?

And the best part is…

You don’t want to miss this next part…

It all boils down to this…

#3: The “Important Insight” Transition

How it works: You hint you’re about to share an important insight or discovery. Your reader will be curious to find out what it is.

Examples:

That’s when I realized…

And then it hit me…

Here’s what we found instead…

I finally understood that…

Then it finally dawned on me…

But guess what I realized just in the nick of time…

You won’t believe what we discovered…

#4: The “There’s a Catch” Transition

Examples:

But there’s a catch…

So what’s the catch?

There’s just one problem…

The problem is…

Here’s the main issue with that…

And this is where people run into trouble…

That’s when you might hit a snag…

#5: The “Big Answer” Transition

Examples:

So what’s the solution?

Fortunately, there’s a simple solution…

The solution is simple…

Here’s the big secret…

The answer?

The trick is to…

Here’s how you solve this…

#6: The “But Wait, There’s More” Transition

Examples:

But wait, there’s more…

But that’s not all…

It gets better…

And I’m not stopping there…

As if that’s not enough…

And on top of that…

#7: The “Exemplary Example” Transition

How it works: You introduce an example (obviously). Readers tend to pay attention to examples because they help contextualize the theory they’ve just learned.

Examples:

For example…

Take Billy’s story, for example…

Here’s a little case study of this strategy in action…

Case in point…

Just look at what happened to…

#8: The “Lifting the Veil” Transition

How it works: You hint at a clarification or supplementation of the preceding text. Readers will pay attention because they realize it will help them understand the information better.

Examples:

I’ll explain…

Let me elaborate…

Let me walk you through…

Let me lift the veil for you…

Let me break this down for you…

Here’s what I mean…

Let me clarify…

#9: The “How To” Transition

Examples:

Here’s how to do it yourself…

Here’s how you can do the same thing…

How?

Here’s how…

You’re about to find out how…

But how do you… ?

Let me tell you how…

#10: The “Stay with Me” Transition

Examples:

Stay with me now…

Stick with me here, because…

Keep reading…

Don’t stop reading now…

I know that’s a lot to take in, but bear with me…

#11: The “Curious Question” Transition

Examples:

But what does that mean?

But what exactly is…?

Why is that?

Why does this work?

How do I know?

Is it true?

But what if… ?

But where can you find… ?

So when do you use… ?

#12: The “Rhetorical Question” Transition

Examples:

You see my point, right?

Do you see how huge this is?

Don’t you wish… ?

Is that something you’d like for your business?

How awesome is that?

Do you ever wonder… ?

Sound good?

Amazing, isn’t it?

#13: The “Guess What Happened” Transition

Examples:

Guess what happened?

Here’s what happened next…

Even I was surprised at what happened next…

You won’t believe how the story ends…

These were our results…

The result?

Master Your Transitions and Watch Reader Engagement Shoot Up

When you master the art of transitioning, you’ll notice that readers will stay on your posts longer. You’ll notice more of them will read your posts to the end.

Don’t get me wrong; these phrases aren’t magic. They won’t turn a bad article into a good one.

But they can help turn a good article into a great one.

So sprinkle transitional phrases throughout your content, and one day, you’ll check your analytics and notice people are spending a lot more time on your posts.

That’s when you know they’re doing their job.

So sprinkle transitional phrases throughout your content, and one day, you’ll check your analytics and notice people are spending a lot more time on your posts.

That’s when you know they’re doing their job.

Sounds pretty good, right?

How to Use Transitional Phrases to Keep Your Readers Sliding Down the Page

Some writers seem to have a magic touch…

One minute you’re reading their opening, and before you know it, you’ve reached the end of their article.

Their content reads so smoothly, it’s almost impossible to stop.

So how do they do it?

And one powerful way they do so is by using transitional phrases.

So today you’ll learn how to use them yourself. But first, let’s examine why they’re so important.

The Little Secret That Copywriters Have Known for Ages

Copywriters have known this for a long time:

The primary purpose of every paragraph you write is not to make a point, or to build your argument, or to convey valuable information. It’s to get your reader to read the next paragraph.

Famous copywriter Maxwell Ross likened this to a “bucket brigade.” Let me explain why…

In those days, it was vital the chain remained unbroken. If the bucket wasn’t passed smoothly from one person to the next, the water would spill and not make it to the fire.

And that’s where transitional phrases come in.

How Transitional Phrases “Lubricate” Your Writing So Readers Slide from Line to Line

Have you ever been with a group of friends and someone suddenly makes a random comment that doesn’t follow from anything that anyone else has said?

I bet you have — we all have.

It’s a strange moment — everyone (except the person who made the comment) just looks at each other, bewildered.

Well, writing without transitions is like that.

It causes friction in your reader’s mind and leaves them scratching their head, wondering “How do you get from this to that?”

Any piece of writing is a series of ideas, propositions, and arguments placed one after the other.

Want to know how to do it right? Take, for example, this excerpt from Jon Morrow’s post How to Make Money Blogging: How This Blog Makes $100K per Month:

My answer: with blogs, the most profitable price is usually the end of the funnel. Here’s what I mean…

What you might not know is you should build it in reverse.

You might note that these phrases don’t convey any information. All they do is make the ride smoother. All they do is connect one idea to another.

The good news is, you probably already use transitional phrases in your writing to some extent. Most people use them naturally. However…

There’s a special class of transitional phrases that many bloggers don’t even know about.

13 Exceptionally Engaging Transitions That Readers Can’t Resist

Remember Maxwell Ross, the “bucket brigade” guy?

He had a list of transitional phrases that don’t just help readers transition from one idea to the other, but actively work to keep those readers engaged.

These phrases keep readers glued to the page by either evoking their curiosity or by hinting that something important is about to come.

They give a jolt to readers’ brains, waking them up and demanding they pay attention.

So let’s dive in.

#1: The “Mind Reader” Transition

How it works: You claim to know what the reader is thinking, or you assume the reader agrees with something you’re about to say. The reader will then want to find out if you’re right.

Examples:

I know what you’re thinking…

And now, you’re thinking…

I can almost hear you thinking…

You guessed it…

I’m sure you’re with me on this one…

Here’s something we can both agree on…

I think you’ll agree with me when I say…

You must be wondering…

#2. The “Can’t Miss This” Transition

Examples:

Now, this is important…

Here’s the interesting part…

Here’s the bottom line…

Here’s why that’s important…

So what’s my point?

And the best part is…

You don’t want to miss this next part…

It all boils down to this…

#3: The “Important Insight” Transition

How it works: You hint you’re about to share an important insight or discovery. Your reader will be curious to find out what it is.

Examples:

That’s when I realized…

And then it hit me…

Here’s what we found instead…

I finally understood that…

Then it finally dawned on me…

But guess what I realized just in the nick of time…

You won’t believe what we discovered…

#4: The “There’s a Catch” Transition

Examples:

But there’s a catch…

So what’s the catch?

There’s just one problem…

The problem is…

Here’s the main issue with that…

And this is where people run into trouble…

That’s when you might hit a snag…

#5: The “Big Answer” Transition

Examples:

So what’s the solution?

Fortunately, there’s a simple solution…

The solution is simple…

Here’s the big secret…

The answer?

The trick is to…

Here’s how you solve this…

#6: The “But Wait, There’s More” Transition

Examples:

But wait, there’s more…

But that’s not all…

It gets better…

And I’m not stopping there…

As if that’s not enough…

And on top of that…

#7: The “Exemplary Example” Transition

How it works: You introduce an example (obviously). Readers tend to pay attention to examples because they help contextualize the theory they’ve just learned.

Examples:

For example…

Take Billy’s story, for example…

Here’s a little case study of this strategy in action…

Case in point…

Just look at what happened to…

#8: The “Lifting the Veil” Transition

How it works: You hint at a clarification or supplementation of the preceding text. Readers will pay attention because they realize it will help them understand the information better.

Examples:

I’ll explain…

Let me elaborate…

Let me walk you through…

Let me lift the veil for you…

Let me break this down for you…

Here’s what I mean…

Let me clarify…

#9: The “How To” Transition

Examples:

Here’s how to do it yourself…

Here’s how you can do the same thing…

How?

Here’s how…

You’re about to find out how…

But how do you… ?

Let me tell you how…

#10: The “Stay with Me” Transition

Examples:

Stay with me now…

Stick with me here, because…

Keep reading…

Don’t stop reading now…

I know that’s a lot to take in, but bear with me…

#11: The “Curious Question” Transition

Examples:

But what does that mean?

But what exactly is…?

Why is that?

Why does this work?

How do I know?

Is it true?

But what if… ?

But where can you find… ?

So when do you use… ?

#12: The “Rhetorical Question” Transition

Examples:

You see my point, right?

Do you see how huge this is?

Don’t you wish… ?

Is that something you’d like for your business?

How awesome is that?

Do you ever wonder… ?

Sound good?

Amazing, isn’t it?

#13: The “Guess What Happened” Transition

Examples:

Guess what happened?

Here’s what happened next…

Even I was surprised at what happened next…

You won’t believe how the story ends…

These were our results…

The result?

Master Your Transitions and Watch Reader Engagement Shoot Up

When you master the art of transitioning, you’ll notice that readers will stay on your posts longer. You’ll notice more of them will read your posts to the end.

Don’t get me wrong; these phrases aren’t magic. They won’t turn a bad article into a good one.

But they can help turn a good article into a great one.

So sprinkle transitional phrases throughout your content, and one day, you’ll check your analytics and notice people are spending a lot more time on your posts.

That’s when you know they’re doing their job.

Sounds pretty good, right?
