雅思写作的衔接性,听过的人多,但真正掌握、懂得考官评分点的人并不多,按以往经验来看,烤鸭们在写作四个评分标准当中,往往在这一项得分很低。 但!只要掌握一些要点, 提升该项得分并不难 。衔接性(Cohesion)是将文章中的段落和句子连接在一起的方式,加上连贯性(Coherence),是雅思写作中的一个评分标准,占 25%的分数。首先,让我们看看衔接性实际上意味着什么。
0 1
什么是衔接性?
衔接性指连接词的使用, 连接词有时被称为 语篇标记, 连接词或 路标语言。例如:“for example”, “on the one hand”, “secondly”, “in conclusion”。
连接词有助于整合观点,并阐明段落/句子/成分之间的逻辑关系。

考官想要什么?这一点评分时更看重什么呢?
对症才能下药,要想在这一点提分,你必须懂点考官心思,才能投其所好呀~
其实,在这一点上,考官希望看到的是你对连接词的使用适当,有效和正确。
也就是说,有 两个误区是写作时必须要避开的:
1
误用连接词
雅思考生所犯的大错误之一,就是 误用连接词。在雅思写作task 2中尤其重要,在大作文中,错误使用连接词可能会使理解造成困难。 如果错误地使用了单词,考官会将其标记下来。这大概就是很多烤鸭写作5分的原因。
雅思5分评分标准之一:
The candidate makes inaccurate use of cohesive devices.
2
过度使用连接词
恰当而有效地使用连接词还意味着:以正确的数量使用它们。注意!连接词的堆砌并不等同于逻辑的连贯性,通常每个段落中只有一个或两个连接词就足够了。
附上:雅思写作连贯与衔接( Coherence and Cohesion)评分标准:
Band 5
makes inadequate use, inaccurate use or over use of cohesive devices
may be repetitive because of lack of referencing and substitution
Band 6
uses cohesive devices effectively, but cohesion within and/or between sentences may be faulty or mechanical
may not always use referencing clearly or appropriately
Band 7
uses a range of cohesive devices appropriately although there may be some under or over-use.
Band 8
manages all aspects of cohesion well.
Band 9
uses cohesion in such a way that it attracts no attention.

怎样提高写作CC得分?
总结一下,写作CC高分的要点:
1.只使用你熟悉的连接词,并且在使用前考虑使用的必要性;
2.不要过度使用衔接词,大概每个段落两处;
3.尝试把连接词放在句子的不同部分,不要总是只放在句首。
接下来将提供一些有用的显性连接词!这些连接词按其功能进行分类;
以及一些隐性衔接手段,包括词汇的变形,同义替换,以及代词的使用。

可以使用词典查看这些单词和短语在
英语中的实际用法。
2.这样可以了解到上下文中如何使用单词。 建议阅读 BBC News Magazine , The Economis t , Popular Science , The New Scientist . National Geographic , BBC Focus Magazine , The Economist Magazine , Science Daily 等等选择自己喜欢的主题(健康,环境和教育主题都很好,因为它们在雅思考试中占了很大比重)。
