Link words (again!)

LINK WORDS... again... (studying them is never enough... )

I proofread quite a number of texts written by foreign Learners; they show me, if need be,

that it's necessary to work on Link Words again, and again, and if possible, to learn them...

You can revise them and train to use them correctly! Go for it!
