Spójniki w writingu
Dobry tekst nie potrzebuje długiej listy sztucznych linking words. Relacja musi być jasna: przyczyna, kontrast, skutek, cel, przykład albo warunek.
Although studying online is convenient, it can be difficult to stay focused. For this reason, students need a clear routine. They should also take regular breaks so that they can maintain concentration.
