[试题再现]

在紧张的高三备考阶段，英语老师为了提高复习效率，广泛征求学生的意见。假如你叫张华，请根据以下提示，给英语老师写封信，表达你们的需求和建议。

1. 适当放慢速度，留出思考时间；

2. 反复训练重要、易错知识点；

3. 指导方法；

4. 减少作业量以保证质量；

5. 给予更多鼓励。

在最近的一次高三月考的阅卷过程中，我发现很多同学很注重语法以及高级词汇的使用，但是忽略了连接词的使用。下面是我从习作中选出的两篇文章。

习作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.

习作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.

从上面两篇作文来看，习作Ⅰ没有运用连接词，整篇文章缺乏连贯性，让我们读起来像是句子翻译，行文不流畅。习作Ⅱ就大不一样，这位同学恰当地运用了一些连接词，如as you know，so，besides，as for，meanwhile，for example。这些词的运用使全文结构紧凑，层次清楚，过渡自然。

行文连贯是英语阅卷老师比较看重的一方面，也是作文得分点之一。怎样使文章读起来一气呵成，朗朗上口呢？很重要的一方面就是适当地使用连接词。

下面我们来看看怎样在作文中巧用连接词。

一、使用连接词拓展句子

适当地使用连接词会帮助我们打开思路，拓展我们所要表达的内容，使内容更加丰富。

例1 写作要点：与老师和谐相处的好处，师生关系对你成长的影响。

一般表达法：

My teacher has had a strong effect on my personality. Good relationship between teachers and students is worthwhile for everyone to cherish.

加上连接词的表达法：

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 写作要点：虚假广告给生活带来的影响。

一般表达法：

There are more and more advertisements on TV misleading viewers to believe something wrong.

加上连接词的表达法：

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、使用连接词过渡

除了拓展句子以外，连接词还能够更好地展示句子和段落之间的内在逻辑关系，承上启下，使行文连贯。

例3 写作要点：社会发展，人口拥挤，地球干涸，节约用水。

一般表达法：

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.

加上连接词的表达法：

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 写作要点：如何保护视力。

一般表达法：

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.

加上连接词的表达法：

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、连接词的分类和运用
