在此之前,想对所有的烤鸭们说一段话:
切记不要尝试在雅思作文里写花里胡哨的连接词(linking words),因为连接词*的意义就是高效切准确的将文章中的观点和内容链接起来,仅此而已。要记住,普通的连接词也不会给成绩带来任何扣分,而复杂却又不准确的连接词只会让效果适得其反。
本着这样的基本概念,我们来看一下有哪些可以在 Task2 中高效使用的连接词呢?
首先,进入学习之前,我们先来解决下面两个*常被问到的问题:
1.连接词到底是什么?
连接词的意义在于让全文逻辑通顺且准确。这些词汇并不用针对于某一个话题,并且可以在不 同的话题内重复使用,只需要进行相应的修改即可。
2.是不是我只要背会就可以了?
这需要视情况而定,当然在备考周期短的情况下,死记硬背并不是一个不可行的办法。不过, 很多时候死记硬背行不通,如果你的综合英语能力太差不能对连接词进行灵活运用,*将很 快意识到你是死记硬背的,因而你也将不会在 C&C 的部分得到相应的分数。
如果你有足够的时间去备考的话,我们的建议是——ADOPT & ADAPT,做法大概如下:
1. 选择一些连接词,注意,不是所有的连接词。
2. 看一下它们在相应的作文中是如何被使用的,然后在你自己的作文中进行尝试。
下面给大家总结了『八大类连接词』,涵盖了雅思写作 Task2 中的几乎所有情况。
客观观点连接词 (impersonal)
客观观点连接词在 1.开头段落的重述题目2.客观介绍主体段落的论点时,都可以用到。 表达一个客观的论点:
There are those who say that
Many people argue that
It is often said that
A common opinion is that
A popular belief is that
It is often said that
One argument put forward is that
It can be argued that
It is generally accepted/believed/acknowledged that
个人见解 (personal opinion)
个人见解的连接词在*后一段的结尾段中非常重要,因为你将在结尾段中陈述自己的观点。同样的,在 opinion 的题型中,这些连接词同样可以使用在开头段落中。 表达一个个人见解:
My view is that
It seems to me that
I tend to believe that
I am of the opinion that
I would argue that
In my experience
注解/评论/强调(Commenting)
第三种连接词也是表达个人见解的,表达你对你自己观点的信心。这一类词汇可以同时用于客观观点与个人见解。
Of course
Naturally
Apparently
Obviously
Evidently
概括(Generalising)
让你的文章看起来更加的严谨和*。这是一个*要求,大多数烤鸭所考的都是*类雅思,于是这一类连接词可以帮助考生将那些非常『硬』的句子『软化』。
Generally speaking,
On the whole,
...tends...
Typically,
Basically,
By and large
...may/might/could...Often/frequently/sometimes/usually
解释观点 (explaining opinion)
雅思写作中,我们很多时候都会选择用更加详细的解释来加持我们的某一个观点。特别是当我们尝试在主体段落中解释某一个复杂的论点。
What this means is
..., which means that
... reflects that...
In other words,
That is to say
To be more precise,
More specifically/precisely,
In fact,
使用例子解释观点 (Using examples to explain)
使用例子是雅思考写作考试中非常重要的一个部分,很多时候甚至只需要一个亲身经历就可以更好地诠释你的论点和想法。
举例或者证据来解释观点(Explaining through examples and introducing evidence)
For example
For instance
A good illustration of this is
If we take an example
Evidence for this is provided by
We can see this when
Take ... as an example.
A case in point is that
This can be illustrated/proved by the example of ...
解释原因并陈述影响 (Explaining cause and stating effect)
使用 CAUSE & EFFECT 的方式来解释你的主要观点也是雅思写作中常用的『套路』。同样,你也 可以描述『结果』的方式来解释你的观点。
One reason for this is
The immediate cause of this
One of the causes of this is
This has resulted in
As a result, / As a consequence,
Consequently,
This has led to
结尾/总结 (Concluding)
如题所示,总结你的作文。
To summarise
To sum up
In conclusion
Overall
All in all
In brief
On balance
This is a complex issue with no clear answers
If we look at both sides of the argument
