Solo drill ยท Transitions
Bridge Builder
The conversation has been on topic A; you need it on topic B. Speak the transition line using the dealt transition type โ one or two sentences, no "so, anyway" and no apology for changing the subject.
A good rep
- Honest. The turn doesn't pretend topic B follows from topic A when it doesn't โ a clean declared turn beats a fake segue.
- Two sentences max, with no "anyway," no "so," and no apology for changing the subject.
- Recognizably the dealt type. A Backward Link names something said earlier; a Forward Promise parks a live idea out loud.
