Energy transfer is when energy is transferred from one body/environment to another, usually involving a conversion of energy.

An instance where energy is simply being transferred would be a pot of boiling water. Heat from the stove makes the metal pan hot. It's molecules vibrate very energetically, causing the water molecules right next to the metal molecules to vibrate as well (the pot's walls or bottom and the water molecules directly in contact with them). Here, energy has been transferred from one body to another. Then the water molecule which gained energy(the ones right next to the pot's bottom) will vibrate, making their neighbouring water molecules to vibrate as well! And thus the energy will travel.

One instance where energy is converted and transferred would be when u press down a spring. The muscular energy (also called chemical energy) stored in ur muscles is converted to elastic potential energy of the spring! If u let go off the spring, it will jump back/spring up: the energy it will use to spring up is actually the chemical energy that was in ur arms but which had now been transferred to the spring.

Hope that helped (:
