Synonyms and transition words are two important tools in the repertoire of a writer.

English transition words and phrases are essential, since they not only connect ideas, but can also introduce a certain shift, contrast or opposition, emphasis or agreement, purpose, result or conclusion, etc. in the line of argument.

Transition words make the content smooth. Reader finds the prose consistent and coherent with the core idea.

On the other hand synonyms provide writer with alternate words, sentences which makes reading a pleasure since words are not repeated and at the same time the writing tends to be tighter and refreshing.
