雅思口語7分標準中關于連接詞的標準是:Use a range of linking words accurately to connect ideas。
即連接得法:準確使用相當廣度的連接詞連接語意;
而中國學生最愛的口語連接詞是:but、 and、 because、 so、 on the one hand這些在考試里并非不能用,只是被用爛是典型的boring連接詞,豐富自己的連接詞儲備,并且在平時練習中反復替換知道熟練運用非常重要。
1、舉例子/Giving examples: For example, For instance, Namely
常用的就是for example和for instance,namely 用在解釋或者說出什么事物的名稱中,表達“也就是說”、“換言之就是”的意思。作插入語多。
舉個例子:There are two problems: namely , the expense and the time.
2、增加信息/Adding information:大家都耳熟能詳,但是用法上還沒弄清楚。
And 、In addition 、As well as 、Also 、Too、 Furthermore、 Moreover 、Apart from 、In addition to 、Besides
and的用法:當然是用在兩者之間。We discussed training、education and the budge.
also的用法:增加別的概念或者強調時用。但不能用在句首。
舉個例子:We also spoke about marketing.
You can use also with not only to give emphasis.
We are concerned not only by the costs, but also by the competition.
如果你希望在句首表達‘also‘,就可以用 In addition, or In addition to this…
As well as 用法:可以用于句首或者中間。
舉個例子:As well as the costs, we are concerned by the competition.
We are interested in costs as well as the competition.
Too goes either at the end of the sentence, or after the subject and means as well .
Apart from 和 besides的用法: 它們都常用于表達as well as , or in addition to類似的意思。
舉個例子:Apart from Rover, we are the largest sports car manufacturer.
Besides Rover, we are the largest sports car manufacturer.
Moreover 和 furthermore的用法:為你要表達的事物增加另一個信息點。
舉個例子:Marketing plans give us an idea of the potential market. Moreover , they tell us about the competition .
3.總結信息/Summarising:In short、In brief、 In summary、 To summarise、In a nutshell、To conclude、In conclusion ,我們經常用這些詞匯在寫作和口語中表示總結,稍注意:In a nutshell是非正式表達,經常用于口語而非寫作。
4. 強化觀點間聯系/ Sequencing ideas :The former、 … the latter、 Firstly、 secondly,、finally. The first point is、Lastly、 The following
舉個例子:Marketing and finance are both covered in the course. The former is studied in the first term and the latter is studied in the final term.
Firstly, … secondly, … finally (or lastly ) 在陳列信息時很有用;
The following作為下一段陳述的開頭居多
舉個例子:The following people have been chosen to go on the training course: N Peters, C Jones and A Owen.
5. 給出結果時/Giving a result : Therefore、So. Consequently、As a result. Therefore 、 so 、consequently and as a result
舉個例子:The companies are expanding. Therefore / So / Consequently / As a result , they are taking on extra staff.
So這個詞就太常見,如果要拿7分以上,還是少用吧。
6. 表示比較、轉折、讓步等時: Contrasting ideas But、However, although / even、 though Unlike、 In theory… in、practice…、 Nonetheless、 While、Whereas、 Despite / despite the fact that、 In spite of / in spite of the fact that、 Nevertheless
舉例子:He works hard、 but he doesn't earn much.
He works hard. However , he doesn't earn much
but就太平淡,而且一般不用于句子開頭。
While my sister has blue eyes、 mine are brown.
Taxes have gone up、whereas social security contributions have gone down.
Unlike in the UK、 the USA has cheap petrol.
While 、 whereas and unlike 用于表達兩件事物很不同時。
Although 、 despite and in spite of 的用法:用了這些詞你就把一個完整的句子分兩半了,多用于讓步。
例如: Although it was cold, she went out in shorts.
In spite of the cold、 she went out in shorts.
Nevertheless and nonetheless 的用法:其實就是 in spite of that or anyway的意思。
例如:The sea was cold, but he went swimming nevertheless . (In spite of the fact that it was cold.)
The company is doing well. Nonetheless 、they aren't going to expand this year.
