It is essential to understand how Linking Words, as a part of speech, can be used to combine ideas in writing - and thus ensure that ideas within sentences and paragraphs are elegantly connected - for the benefit of the reader. This will help to improve your writing (e.g. essay, comment, summary (scientific) review, (research) paper, letter, abstract, report, thesis, etc.). 
It is also fundamental to be aware of the sometimes subtle meaning of these "small" words within the English language.

LINKING WORDS and PHRASES:
http://library.bcu.ac.uk/learner/writingguides/1.33.htm

You can use words or short phrases which help to guide your reader through your writing, and to link sentences, paragraphs and sections both forwards and backwards.Try to use a variety of expressions, particularly in longer pieces of writing.
The best way to "get a feel" for these words is through your reading. Most textbooks and articles are well-written and will probably include a lot of these cohesive devices. Note how they are used and try to emulate what you have read.
