雅思写作中的连词使用
写作最能体现个人对一门语言的掌握情况,它体现了考生对语言的运用能力和水平。雅思作文评分标准中包括一点: coherence and cohesion, 说明评价一篇作文是否高分作文,考生写作的连贯性也占据了一定的地位,它既是指内容的一致性,也体现了结构的连贯性。接下来,我们为大家介绍几种雅思写作中常见句子间的关系以及相应的高分连词。

因果关系
在很多雅思范文中,因果关系的连词出现的几率是非常高的。在表达“结果”时,有连词: so, therefore, as a result, consequently, thus, hence等。
1. The late 20th century witnessed the prosperity in science and technology; therefore, the path to the wide application of computers was inevitable.
Therefore, as a result, consequently这组词的用法是介于两个句子之间,且后面加逗号。
2. The late 20th century witnessed the boom of science and technology, thus giving rise to the wide application of computers.
Thus 用于句中,后加V-ing形式。
3. The late 20th century witnessed the boom of science and technology, hence the wide proliferation of computers. Hence 用于句中,后加n.形式。
以上三句话的意思是相同的,可是运用了不同的连词出来的句子的效果完全不一样。
对比关系
在表示 “对比” 关系的连词中,较常见的是以下几个词,我们也通过剑桥上考官范文中的三个例句来看一下。
1. From 1950 onwards, industrial use grew steadily to just over 1,000 cubic kilometers, while domestic use rose more slowly to 300 cubic kilometers.
2. By contrast, those who have spent time earning a living or traveling to other places have a broader view of life and better personal resources from which to draw.可见while表示从句和主句的对比,而by contrast是两个句子间的对比。再看下面这句话:
3. Instead, they reflect the public population of sport in general and the level of public support that successful stars can generate.
此例句考官灵活地使用了instead来表示“然而”这样一种对比关系,突出了连词使用的多样性和地道性。
让步和转折关系
在英语中,用了“虽然”就不能再用“但是”,其实这两种关系却能表达基本相同的内容。请看下面选自考官范文的句子:
1. In spite of some fluctuation in the expected percentages, the proportion of older people will probably continue to increase in the next two decades in each of the three countries.
2. However, sports salaries are not determined by an athlete’s contribution to society or level of responsibility.
In spite of表示尽管,但它后面直接跟的是名词或者是代词,而经过笔者的总结,在范文中,表达让步关系的时候,用的连词都是in spite of。 而转折连词however的用法很简单,但使用却很频繁。
提醒大家,多用连词并不是获得高分的必要条件,只有正确且有效地使用连词,才是关键。
