今天我们为大家讲解一下雅思写作当中最常用也是同学们最常错的10个连接词和表达,希望童鞋们在雅思作文中避免此类错误出现。
雅思表达常见错误1:on the other hand一般引导对比的东西,不等于besides, furthermore, secondly
例子:Many young people enjoy online shopping. on the one hand, it saves time. On the other hand, it saves money.
评讲:save time和save money 是两个并列的有点,没有对比的关系,最好用firstly, secondly。
雅思表达常见错误2:on the contrary以为是In contrast的替换词
例子:The birth rate rose. On the contrary, the infant mortatality rate dropped.
评讲:on the contrary 一般出现的语境是前面出现否定信息。这个词组基本上不用于雅思作文。
雅思表达常见错误3:while, whereas认为是in contrast的替换词
例子:The birth rate rose. While the infant mortatality rate dropped.
评讲:while 是从属连词,要连接两个独立的句子,这里应该是“,while”或者改成“in contrast”
雅思表达常见错误4:besides, furthermore, what’s more, moreover, in addition被认为是“递进”的连接词
例子:Many people today choose to study in foreign countries. Besides, they can gain qualifications in foreign universities.
评讲:besides一般引导两个并列的观点,不指代因果关系,这里应该是“because of this”比较合理。很有意思的是,有一次我上课问学生什么是“递进”,举个中文的例子给我看,竟然没有学生能够举出恰当的中文例子。可见很多学生学习都是人云亦云,对一些概念其实根本不理解。
雅思表达常见错误5:however被认为是on the other hand的同义词
例子:Working from home has benefited many people. However, it can cause problems.
评讲:however一般是转折关系,也就是后面的句子意思往往代表作者的首要立场。而on the other hand一般是并列关系,也就是前后句子或者观点没有轻重之分,是并列的,一般是两个事情的对比,而不是转折。
雅思表达常见错误6:by doing this, in this way被认为是as a result, therefore, as a consequence 等
例子:Many people work long hours. By doing this, they may suffer poor health.
评讲:一般by doing this, in this way都是用在人们有计划地做某个事情,最后为了达到一定目的,或者效果。那么,显然不可能后面出现不好的结果,譬如说poor health。因此在这里用as a result最好。
雅思表达常见错误7:as a result, therefore, thus, as a consequence 都是连接词,而不是连词
例子:many people today prefer to use mobile phones to communicate with their friends, as a result, the face-to-face contact declines.
评讲:as a result类似于副词,没有连词的功能,所以前面要用句号或者;号
雅思表达常见错误8:thereby 不是therefore的替换词
例子:Many libraries have Internet connection now, thereby, people can do research online.
评讲:thereby的习惯用法是thereby+doing something, 不能违反这个规则,千万不要以为thereby 用了比therefore高大上
雅思表达常见错误9:in order to 一般是表示有目的地去做某个事情,要注意逻辑主语,而且一般不会用否定
例子:Governments should not invest in the arts, in order to save money.
评讲:这个句子用否定读起来很不通顺,用governments should cut down on the spending on the arts, in order to save money.
雅思表达常见错误10:with如果加名词,往往是表示“有了…”,后面一般不加负面的东西
例子:With pollution, many people will have health problems.
评讲:pollution是不好的东西,用with很怪异,用because of好一点
连接词在雅思作文中非常重要,同学们一定要自己研究,不要犯以上10个错误。最后祝大家雅思考试取得佳绩。
