  OET Writing, The Connectors to be  Avoided. In OET writing, it is important to use connectors that are appropriate for the professional tone of a healthcare letter. Avoid using the following connectors : 1. Academic Connectors : These are typically used in academic writing and may not be suitable for the professional tone of OET writing. Example: Furthermore, Moreover . 2. Informal Connectors : These are typically used in informal or conversational English and may not be suitable for the professional tone of OET writing.  Example: Besides, Meanwhile, So, Hence, Thus. 3. Simple Connectors: at the Beginning of a Sentence:  Some simple connectors such as 'and' , 'but' and 'also' are fine to include in the middle of a sentence, but avoid using them for the start of the sentence. Use more formal alternatives such as 'Additionally' , "Therefore" , and "However' .  ------------- The End---------------
