Connectors are very useful tools to make your ideas more organized, and therefore more understandable. Moreover, the use of connectors will add sophistication to your language, mostly to your writing styles.
You can use them for different purposes such as concluding a topic, adding more details to an argument, disagreeing with an opinion, etc. There is a wide range of connectors you can use. A good grammar book or the Internet may help you get familiar with some of them.
