论雅思写作中连贯与衔接词语的使用

Coherence and Cohesion(连贯与衔接)是雅思写作的一项评分标准，也是一项学术英语写作技能。想要让文章的Coherence and Cohesion更加学术并满足评分要求，有四种方法。

1.use transition signal to link ideas（使用过渡词语）

2.repeat key nouns（重复关键名词）

3.use consistent pronouns（使用一致性指代）

4.arrange your idea in logical order（以逻辑顺序安排你的观点）

这四种方法都可以让你的文章更加有逻辑和说服力，本文主要讨论第一种方法，也就是过渡词语的使用。过渡词语可以简单的概括为：起承转合因果例

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

转：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

文章如果没有或缺乏这些过渡词语，那么读起来就会有点断层的感觉，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.

如果添加这些词语，那么文章整体读起来就会不一样，我们来一起看一下。

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.

很多学生在写文章的时候，往往会忘记使用这些过渡词语，认为没有必要，其实它的用处很大，通过以上两篇文章的对比，相信肯定会有不一样的感触。
