Kenapa Linking Words Penting dalam SPM English
Baca dua versi perenggan yang sama:
Tanpa linking words: “Pollution is a serious problem. The government has introduced new laws. Many factories continue to dump waste into rivers.”
Dengan linking words: “Pollution is a serious problem. Although the government has introduced new laws, many factories still continue to dump waste into rivers.”
Versi kedua mengalir dengan semula jadi. Idea bersambung secara logik. Inilah yang pemeriksa SPM cari bila beri markah untuk coherence dan cohesion.

Kesilapan Biasa dengan Linking Words
Mula setiap ayat dengan connector
Furthermore… Moreover… In addition… Besides… Ini kedengaran seperti senarai, bukan esei. Guna linking words untuk sambung idea, bukan sebagai permulaan setiap ayat.
Connector tidak sepadan dengan logik
Salah: She studied hard. However, she scored well. Betul: She studied hard. As a result, she scored well.
Sentiasa periksa: adakah connector itu sepadan dengan hubungan logik antara ayat?
Kesilapan koma
FANBOYS (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so): Guna koma sebelum conjunction bila sambung dua klausa bebas.
However / Therefore: Guna koma bertitik (;) atau noktah sebelumnya, dan koma selepasnya.
