I have a question on linkers and connectors. I'm from Spain, so I learnt English at school and all my English teachers have told me throughout secondary school that we always have to use linkers to connect the ideas in our writings. However, do I have to use them all the time? I mean, what if I want to write something like this: > We -the association of internet users- believe in a world where data can be accessible to everyone for free. We believe in a world where there are no boundaries between people. A world where there is equality of the access to information. This way, I can kind of emphasise the three sentences by repeating the words "we believe in a world" or simply "a world". Whereas, I'd used connectors in this case, the message wouldn't have been the same: > We -the association of internet users- believe in a world where data can be accessible to everyone for free. What is more, we believe in a world where there are no boundaries between people. In fact, a world where there is equality of the access to information. You see what I mean? What are your thoughts on that?
