2. 副词

　　副词连接并列句，前面用句号或分号，后面用逗号，在雅思写作中常用的副词有however, obviously, therefore, overall, instead等。

　　例2：The crime rate is increasingly high; therefore, the government needs to enforce more laws to curb this situation.

　　用了therefore使得整个句子自然，连贯，流畅，而且让读者读的时候能很顺利的过渡到下面的句子。

　　例3：Obviously, education systems are based on the belief that all children can effectively be taught to acquire different skills, including those associated with sport, art or music.

　　有了这个obviously, 就很明显的感觉到这个句子和上一个句子之间有明显的承上启下的关系，加了这个词后可以使语义更加流畅。

　　3. 短语

　　其实根据笔者的经验，考官非常钟爱将短语作为关联词使用，希望考生们注意到这一特点。雅思写作中常用的短语有in conclusion, in other words, in terms of, regardless of, in addition, because of, as a result of, In spite of , in the other hand, rather than, to begin with等。

　　例4：In other words, there is more to the skill than a learned technique, and this extra talent cannot be taught, no matter how good the teacher or how frequently a child practices.

　　例5：They are allowed to have whatever they want, regardless of price, and to behave as they please.

　　这些in other words, regardless of等词很好的处理了上下文的关系，使句子起到推论和递进的关系，这就是关联词在句子中的神奇作用，这点请同学们不要忽视。

　　现在我们来看一下一篇优秀雅思作文的节选，看一下作者是怎样运用关联词来连接上下文，使整篇文章的语义更加流畅的。

　　Example Article

　　To begin with, most of the children get to know these advertisements by watching TV on which there are always full of vivid and graphic descriptions which have deeply captured the hearts of the children. Therefore, children, na?ve and innocent, have kept asking their parents to buy those toys, snacks or other goods which they have seen on TV. Furthermore, pressures come from their friends, usually called ‘peer pressure’, have also made some kids unhappy with their life because the parents of their friends have bought the goods but their parents do not. In this case, not only the kids, but also their parents, are under great pressure.

　　On the other hand, however, we sometimes have to admit that some of the advertisements do provide useful information. For example, many food advertisements often involve the trends and tastes that most children would have, which could be helpful to the doctors or teachers in the field of children’s health. Nevertheless, the drawbacks of it are more obvious, the purpose of these ads will never change----making money on kids and they provide misleading messages as well.

　　In addition, they always do not concentrate on the qualities or values of the goods but how they look like or in which way do they attract children, etc. As a result, parents have to pay much money and their kids are not necessarily satisfied with what they get because they are not as good as they are depicted in the advertisement.

　　其中红色的单词，很好的作为连贯词起到了承上启下的作用，使上下文读起来行云流水，语义通顺，是同学们写作很好的学习连贯词的模板和例子。

　　很多同学在雅思写作的时候都会出现用词不当的现象发生，尤其是在关联词上面更是拿捏不准，失分惨重，希望今天的雅思写作关联词可以帮助大家解决这些问题，恰当好处的使用这些词！
