When writing essays for the Diploma or the TOEFL you should try to link your ideas using connecting words or transitions, in order to develop your essay, and give it order and unity.
These words serve different purposes within a sentence.
"Although, but, yet, on the other hand, despite, still" are words that compare and contrast.
"Further, moreover, in addition, besides" add information or an opinion.
"Because, for, since, due to, as a result of" gives reasons or proof.
And there are many others that can be used to help your essay flow and take shape. In order for the reader of your essay to follow your argument and your ideas, these words are essential. They are like signposts, because without them your reader is driving blind.
Consequently I would suggest that you start using these words in all your written work, because not only will it improve your writing, but also get you a higher grade.
