Coherence是雅思大作文的評分標準之一,即文章的連貫性。連貫的語言可以使文章讀起來如行云流水,給人一氣呵成之感。但是,在寫作時,很多考生比較缺乏文章連貫的意識,或缺少使得語言表達連貫的方法,導致雅思大作文失分。鑒于此,專家將結合多年的考試及教學經驗,給雅思考生們講解一下如何增強段落內部的連貫性。
一、正確使用指代詞
使用的指代詞包括人稱代詞,物主代詞和一些特定的詞語。
★使用人稱代詞或物主代詞代替文章中重復出現的詞

★使用特定的詞語來指代某一類事物
這些詞包括one, that, those, so, this, not和do的各種形式。同時,被替代的可以是名詞、動詞,也可以是句子。
①替代名詞(用one, that, those來替代某個名詞)
