注意文章的連貫性，做好書面表達

一篇優秀的書面表達，除了要切中題意，不漏要點，語言準確，簡潔規范之外，還要行文連貫，流暢自然。

所謂連貫，就是句子要有一個清晰的合乎邏輯的順序，轉折要自然，結構要緊湊，一步步地加以敘述。這就要做到：

（1） 準確使用過渡詞語

英語句子很注重句子表達之間的啟、承、轉、合等關系，這在很大程度上依賴于過渡詞語。常見的過渡詞語按其表達功能可分為以下類型：

A 遞進型：besides， otherwise， what’s more， thus， let alone， to say nothing of， it goes without saying.

B 解釋型：that is (to say)， in other words， or ，in the same way

C 轉折型：however， but， yet

D 列舉型：firstly-- secondly--finally， first of all

E 因果型：because(of)， since， as therefore， so，as a result

F 舉例型：for example(instance)， such as ， like， and so on

G 讓步型：though， although， in spite of

H 時序型：first...next..and then...finally， at the same， meanwhile， first..then..after that...finally

I 歸納總結型：in conclusion， in a word， in the end， at last， finally， to surn up

J 轉換話題型：by the way， I’m afraid， in my opinion， to tell the truth， to be honst， after all， in fact

下面是一篇毀林引起環境破壞的短文：

In the past my hometown used to be a beautiful place. Thick trees and green grass could be seen everywhere. In order to build houses and grow more crops， people cut down more and more trees. As time went on ，the whole forest was almost destroyed. Gradually， the green hills have changed into waste-land. As a result， sandstorms struck us now and then ， from which we suffered a lot. So， I do hope all the people should realize the terrible result of not caring about our environment. What’s more， we should take good care of the forests and plant more trees instead of cutting them down so as to improve our living conditions.

這篇文字涉及到的內容繁多，但由于恰當地使用了過渡詞語，使句子間關系清晰明了，行文通順流暢了。

（2）反復使用關鍵詞

關鍵詞往往體現文章（段）的主旨，它的反復出現會使讀者把眼前的句子與前面的句子聯系起來加以對照。例如：

There is traffic when everything and everybody are using the roads. Subways and buses taking people to school or to work create traffic. Cars and motocycles create traffic. People riding bicycles in the streets create traffic. You are part of the city traffic when walking along the sidewalk or crowss the street.

這段文章的關鍵詞顯然是“traffic”，它出現的次數達五次之多，但讀起來并不呆板、羅嗦。它每次出現，都傳遞著新的信息，使句子得以自然地發展，顯得頗為連貫，讀起來瑯瑯上口。

可見平時寫作中恰當用好連接詞是十分重要的，望同學們在平時的訓練中加強對這方面的培養，提高書面表達成績。
