提分必看!雅思口语考试中必备的连接词,你知道吗?英语流利度和连贯性是雅思口语的评分标准之一。其中,连接词和语篇标示词的使用是一项重要的评分项。不过大部分考生还是停留在and,but,so这三个简单的连词上。其实在考试中使用恰当的衔接词,不仅能体现出衔接词的地道和多样性,也会对内容的连贯性方面的分数会有直接提高。 一、并列关系 并列关系在雅思口语考试的运用一般是在回答Why的提问时,当考生想阐述的理由不止一个,为了使自己的答案有逻辑,也为了让考官能够GET到自己的论点,通常,小烤鸭们都会选择一些表示首先,其次,第三,…,词来引导句子,常见的表达方式有这些: 首先:Firstly, First of all, What I want to mention firstly is that….., To start with, To begin with, For one thing, My first point is that….. 其次:Secondly,In the next place, Moreover, My second point (reason) is that…. 第三:Thirdly, Furthermore, Besides In the end, Finally, Lastly, In the end, My last point (reason) is that…, Last but not the least 二、因果关系 因果关系,顾名思义,就是要解释原因,常见的因果关系的用法有这些:简单就是so, because, 如果想避免重复,使自己的回答更加出彩,我们还可以使用这些:due to, because of, owing to, thanks to, as a result of, in consequence of, on account of,in view of, hence, therefore, thus, accordingly和consequently等。在口语中,有的时候一些native speaker会用cause或者coz来代替 because,在口语考试中这种非正式用法可以使用,但是切记不要使用的过于频繁。 三、让步关系 表示 让步关系的用法一般有这些: Although, Though, Regardless of. Even if, Even though, As long as等 四、转折关系 转折关系是指一个句子里后面的分句没有顺延着前面的分句说下去,而是与它相反,我们一、反应想到的表示转折关系的词就是But,除此之外,英语中表示转折关系的用法有这些:Although,Despite, However,In spite of, Instead, Nevertheless, On the contrary , Otherwise, Though , While,Yet 五、递进关系 英语中表示递进关系的词语有:not only…but also,as well(as),at the sometime,besides,further more, in addition(to),like wise ,more over,worse still 同时还有一些句子可以表示递进关系,以下的用法一般出现在说完一个Point以后打算进入下一个Point之前,比如: Another point I would love to say is that… On top of that I can also add that… And I shouldn't forget to mention that … In addition to what I’ve just said, I can add that… Apart from what I’ve mentioned, another key point is that 六、修饰关系 口语中表示修饰关系,一般都是对人,对事,对物,对时间以及对地点的修饰,通常一般会有从句的形式来修饰先行词,常用来表示修饰关系的词语有: that ,who ,which, when ,where 七、对比关系 对比关系是指一句话的前半句和后半句形成了对比,口语中常见表示对比关系的用法有: On the other hand ,while ,Whereas, In contrast, On the contrary 八、举例和泛指 在口语考试中,我们为了使自己的内容不要听起来过于苍白,因此经常加一些例子是自己的内容听起来更加丰富,英语中常见的举例用法有: like ,such as ,Take...for example , In some cases , and stuff like that , and things like that , or something like that 九、其他 as well , as well as , in terms of, instead of , rather than
十、不是连词的表达 英语口语中,我们还可以用一些比较高大上的用法来给自己加分,比如: tend to ,basically , actually 十一、谈及;谈到;关于 Speaking of; talking about; when incomes to; as far as s concerned.; as regards ; regarding; 通常用于帮助提示转移话题,或转换另一个角度或方面。 例1:Speaking of those old people who live alone, I guess their children would support them financially, and visit them on a regular basis. 例2:As for how I felt about our city museum, I think it serves significant purpose as far as education is concerned. 例3:When it comes to the drawbacks, I think students' study efficiency may be low since there is no teacher around to supervise and motivate them.
