Connecting words
In IELTS Writing, connecting words, also known as transition words or linking words, are used to link ideas and sentences together in a coherent and cohesive manner. Some examples of connecting words include:
• Addition: and, also, furthermore, in addition, besides, moreover
• Contrast: however, on the other hand, in contrast, on the contrary
• Cause and Effect: because, since, due to, as a result, therefore, thus
• Time: finally, meanwhile, subsequently, previously, subsequently
It is important to use connecting words appropriately and not overuse them, as this can make your writing appear unnatural.
"The use of renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power, is becoming increasingly popular. Furthermore, many governments around the world have set ambitious targets for transitioning to clean energy. However, despite the clear benefits of renewable energy, there are still challenges that need to be addressed. For example, the cost of installation and maintenance can be high, and there are concerns about the reliability of these sources.
Additionally, although renewable energy is often touted as being environmentally friendly, there are still some negative impacts that need to be considered. For instance, the large-scale construction of solar and wind farms can have an impact on local wildlife and habitats.
Despite these challenges, it is clear that the move towards renewable energy is a necessary one. As the world's population continues to grow and the demand for energy increases, we must find ways to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels. Furthermore, with the ongoing threat of climate change, it is imperative that we take action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. In conclusion, renewable energy is an important step forward, but we must also be aware of its limitations and work to address any negative impacts."
In the above passage, connecting words such as "Furthermore", "However", "Additionally", "Despite" and "In conclusion" are used to link ideas and sentences together, making the text coherent and cohesive.

On the research mission
Jessica Marshall
Marine Biologist
It was begun as a Sargasso Sea pilot sampling project in August 2003, Craig Venter announced the full Expedition on 4 March 2004. The project, which used Craig Venter's personal yacht, started in Halifax, Canada, and circumnavigated the globe and returning to the U.S. in January 2006.
Beginnings
The history of Marine Biology
Marine biology is the scientific study of organisms in the ocean or other marine or brackish bodies of water. Given that in biology many phyla, families and genera have some species that live in the sea and others that live on land, marine biology classifies species based on the environment rather than on taxonomy. Marine biology differs from marine ecology as marine ecology is focused on how organisms interact with each other and the environment, while biology is the study of the organisms themselves.
Joseph Smith
Marine biologist
Just over a month later, on February 24, 1831, the expedition sighted bare mountain tops through the ocean ice. Biscoe correctly surmised that they were part of a continent and named the area Enderby Land in honour of his patrons. On February 28, a headland was spotted, which Biscoe named Cape Ann; the mountain atop the headland would later be named Mount Biscoe.

THE QUESTION
Can the ocean save our planet?

Biscoe kept the expedition in the area while he began to chart the coastline, but after a month his and his crews' health were deteriorating. The expedition set sail toward Australia, reaching Hobart, Tasmania in May, but not before two crew members had died from scurvy.
