Hint:
Transition words are used with a special rule for punctuation: a semicolon or a period is used after the first 'sentence'.

Transition words and phrases are used to link together different ideas in your text. They help the reader to follow your arguments by expressing the relationships between different sentences. 'While Alex prefers stick to old ways; his brother Edam tries to reinvent himself everyday', here 'while' is the transition word used to introduce opposite point of view.
