Sandy is writing about her love for novels. Read her article and underline the transitional words and phrases.
I like novels
I like novels. I enjoy reading the books of Robert Louis Stevenson because I find them really exciting. For example, Treasure Island tells the story of a young boy who sailed the
sea to look for hidden treasure. Jim, the main character in the book, is very brave. His story gave me a lot of confidence. After reading the book, I am not as shy as I used to be and I am willing to try new things. I also want to travel and have exciting experiences in the future. Moreover, I have decided to write my own stories. Maybe I can become a writer when I am older!
