[試題再現]
在緊張的高三備考階段,英語老師為了提高復習效率,廣泛征求學生的意見。假如你叫張華,請根據以下提示,給英語老師寫封信,表達你們的需求和建議。
1. 適當放慢速度,留出思考時間;
2. 反復訓練重要、易錯知識點;
3. 指導方法;
4. 減少作業量以保證質量;
5. 給予更多鼓勵。
在最近的一次高三月考的閱卷過程中,我發現很多同學很注重語法以及高級詞匯的使用,但是忽略了連接詞的使用。下面是我從習作中選出的兩篇文章。
習作Ⅰ
Dear Mr. Wang,
Were so pleased that you are willing to share our views.
In the course of the general revision, what we need is solid foundation.
I hope you slow down your teaching,giving us more time thinking. Practice important points to make sure we cant make mistakes again. we need your instruction. Please assign us less homework and give us some encouragement from time to time in order that we can do it more efficiently.
習作Ⅱ
Dear Mr. Wang,
Were so pleased that you are willing to share our views.
In the course of the general revision, what we need is solid foundation. As you know, we didnt learn well enough in the first two years, so please slow down and make sure we have really mastered something. Besides, we need a little more time to think for ourselves. As for those important points which also make us confused, would you please give us more practice in case we forget? Meanwhile, we need your instruction, for example, in how to write in natural English. I still have another request: assign us less homework and give us some encouragement from time to time in order that we can do it more efficiently.
從上面兩篇作文來看,習作Ⅰ沒有運用連接詞,整篇文章缺乏連貫性,讓我們讀起來像是句子翻譯,行文不流暢。習作Ⅱ就大不一樣,這位同學恰當地運用了一些連接詞,如as you know,so,besides,as for,meanwhile,for example。這些詞的運用使全文結構緊湊,層次清楚,過渡自然。
行文連貫是英語閱卷老師比較看重的一方面,也是作文得分點之一。怎樣使文章讀起來一氣呵成,朗朗上口呢?很重要的一方面就是適當地使用連接詞。
下面我們來看看怎樣在作文中巧用連接詞。
一、使用連接詞拓展句子
適當地使用連接詞會幫助我們打開思路,拓展我們所要表達的內容,使內容更加豐富。
例1 寫作要點:與老師和諧相處的好處,師生關系對你成長的影響。
一般表達法:
My teacher has had a strong effect on my personality. Good relationship between teachers and students is worthwhile for everyone to cherish.
加上連接詞的表達法:
My teacher has had a strong effect on my personality, such as being helpful and considerate, which enables me to grow up healthily. Therefore, good relationship between teachers and students is worthwhile for everyone to cherish.
例2 寫作要點:虛假廣告給生活帶來的影響。
一般表達法:
There are more and more advertisements on TV misleading viewers to believe something wrong.
加上連接詞的表達法:
But there are more and more advertisements on TV misleading viewers to believe something wrong. Especially some food advertisements, they are bad for our health.
二、使用連接詞過渡
除了拓展句子以外,連接詞還能夠更好地展示句子和段落之間的內在邏輯關系,承上啟下,使行文連貫。
例3 寫作要點:社會發展,人口擁擠,地球干涸,節約用水。
一般表達法:
With the development of society, the earth is becoming more crowded and people are making the best use of water. There are more droughts across the world now. If we have no sense of saving water,we will die out without water.
加上連接詞的表達法:
As a result, with the development of society,the earth is becoming more crowded and people are making the best use of water. Whats worse, there are more droughts across the world now. In addition, if we have no sense of saving water,we will die out without water.
例4 寫作要點:如何保護視力。
一般表達法:
Relax our eyes after reading for a long time,when reading something, we should make sure were in the perfect light, which can do good to our eyes. I advise that everyone should have enough sleep, and we can thus keep fit.
加上連接詞的表達法:
First, Relax our eyes after reading for a long time, for example, looking out into the distance or just looking into the sky. At the same time, when reading something, we should make sure were in the perfect light—neither too strong nor too weak, which can do good to our eyes. Finally, I advise that everyone should have enough sleep,and we can thus keep fit.
三、連接詞的分類和運用
1. 表示并列的連接詞:as well (as), and,or,also,both ... and, not only ... but (also)。如:
This will do lot of harm not only to their Chinese learning but also to their future English learning.
2. 表示轉折或對比關系的連接詞:but,however,while, whereas, otherwise, on the other hand。如:
Some of us taught some drivers and conductors English, while others cleaned buses.

4. 表示因果關系的連接詞:so, thus,therefore,as a result (of), so/such ... that,on account of。如:

5. 表示解釋說明的連接詞:that is (to say),in other words,believe it or not, to tell you the truth。如:
In other words, I love my hometown and the people there.
6. 表示舉例的連接詞:for example/instance,take ...for example,such as,as follows,and so on。如:
However, there are still some problems, such as water and air pollution and heavy traffic in rush hours.
7. 表示時間順序的連接詞:now, at present, recently, meanwhile, finally, the moment。如:
After that I went to No. 6 Middle school of Dalian and graduated this summer.
8. 表示遞進關系的連接詞:besides, whats more, in addition (to), more importantly。如:
Whats more, some statues of famous people will be set up to encourage us to work harder.
9. 表示起始的連接詞:first of all, to begin with, in my opinion, according to, as you know。如:
