雅思口语中流利度和连贯性是评分标准之一,其中,连接词和语篇标示词的使用更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,…,之后的词来引导句子,常见的表达方式有这些:
首先:Firstly, First of all, What I want to mention firstly is that….., Tostart with, To begin with, For>其次:Secondly,In the next place, Moreover, My second point (reason) is that….
第三:Thirdly, Furthermore, Besides
之后:In the end, Finally, Lastly, In the end, My last point (reason) isthat…, 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:很简单就是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, inconsequence of,>在口语中,有的时候一些nativespeaker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

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>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

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, Incontrast, On the contrary

九、其他
as well , as well as , in terms of, instead of , rather than
