Common mistake
Many however or moreover markers do not make an essay coherent; wrong relations feel more abrupt.
- Whether the relation is real

- Whether sentence order is smooth
Break the problem into one blocker, one piece of diagnostic evidence, and one next revision target first. The smaller the problem, the more focused the rewrite becomes.
Make the problem smaller first so the rewrite can actually focus.
If sentence order remains confusing after removing linkers, the problem is progression, not vocabulary.

Remove extra linkers and keep only three to five that accurately show relations.
Many however or moreover markers do not make an essay coherent; wrong relations feel more abrupt.
