| TRANSITION TO
THE NEXT PARAGRAPH The final sentence in the paragraph offers more evidence in support of the thesis but it is also acting as a transition (or introduction to) the next paragraph about naval supplies. |
According to the reports of Captain James Cook and Sir Joseph Banks, Botany Bay offered many advantages. These included a coastal area with a sheltered port, friendly natives, a pleasant climate, fertile soil, food sources including wild fruits, vegetables, birds and fish, and an environment in which the convicts could be self sufficient in a year. It was also attractive due to its great distance from Britain and the fact that the convicts would have no means of escape. In addition, it offered two significant advantages: it was a strategic stronghold in the East and it promised to be an important naval store of flax, hemp and timber. |
