論雅思寫作中連貫與銜接詞語的使用

Coherence and Cohesion(連貫與銜接)是雅思寫作的一項評分標準，也是一項學術(shù)英語寫作技能。想要讓文章的Coherence and Cohesion更加學術(shù)并滿足評分要求，有四種方法。

1.use transition signal to link ideas（使用過渡詞語）

2.repeat key nouns（重復關(guān)鍵名詞）

3.use consistent pronouns（使用一致性指代）

4.arrange your idea in logical order（以邏輯順序安排你的觀點）

這四種方法都可以讓你的文章更加有邏輯和說服力，本文主要討論第一種方法，也就是過渡詞語的使用。過渡詞語可以簡單的概括為：起承轉(zhuǎn)合因果例

起：for a start, to begin with, first and foremost, first, the first reason is that

承：in addition, additionally, besides, what is more, in addition to...,Furthermore, moreover, another reason is that

轉(zhuǎn)：however, but, on the contrary, on the other hand, nevertheless, nonetheless, albeit, although.

合：in conclusion, to sum up, last but not least

因：because, due to, because of, as a result of, result from

果：therefore, thus, hence, so, result in, lead to

例：for example, for instance

文章如果沒有或缺乏這些過渡詞語，那么讀起來就會有點斷層的感覺，比如下文：

Gold, a precious metal, is prized for two important characteristics. Gold has a lustrous beauty that is resistant to corrosion. It is suitable for jewelry, coins, and ornamental purpose. Gold never needs to be polished and will remain beautiful forever. A Macedonian coin remains as untarnished today as the day it was mined twenty-three centuries ago. Gold is useful to industry and science. Gold has been used in hundreds of industrial applications. The most recent use of gold is in astronauts' suits. Astronauts wear gold-plated heat shields for protection outside the spaceship. Gold is treasured for its beauty, its utility.

如果添加這些詞語，那么文章整體讀起來就會不一樣，我們來一起看一下。

Gold, a precious metal, is prized for two important characteristics. First of all, gold has a lustrous beauty that is resistant to corrosion. Therefore, it is suitable for jewelry, coins, and ornamental purpose. Gold never needs to be polished and will remain beautiful forever. For example, a Macedonian coin remains as untarnished today as the day it was mined twenty-three centuries ago. Another important characteristic of gold is its usefulness to industry and science. For many years, it has been used in hundreds of industrial applications. The most recent use of gold is in astronauts' suits. Astronauts wear gold-plated heat shields for protection outside the spaceship. In conclusion, gold is treasured not only for its beauty, but also for its utility.

很多學生在寫文章的時候，往往會忘記使用這些過渡詞語，認為沒有必要，其實它的用處很大，通過以上兩篇文章的對比，相信肯定會有不一樣的感觸。
