在考察考生的小作文還有一個(gè)重要指標(biāo)那就是和鏈接(coherence and cohesion).里面有一個(gè)很重要的要求是：文章從頭到尾有延續(xù)性（there is a clear progression throughout）；銜接手段合理（manages all aspects of cohesion well）; 有技巧的使用改寫技巧（skillfully manages paragraphing）.

1, 文章從頭到尾有延續(xù)性（there is a clear progression throughout）

也就是說(shuō)文章的句子之間，段落之間的過(guò)渡要充分自然。下面就是小作文常用詞匯過(guò)渡詞匯了：

轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系：however, instead, yet, but, although, despite, in spite of, on the other hand, on the contrary,

并列關(guān)系：and, too, as well, as well as, not only…but also, neither…nor, either…or, both… and

遞進(jìn)關(guān)系：in addition, besides, moreover, what’s more, what’s worse

時(shí)間關(guān)系：when, while, after, before, before long, at the same time, in the meantime, eventually, finally, at last, in the end, suddenly, then,

比較關(guān)系：similarly, in the same way, like, unlike,

等價(jià)關(guān)系：A is identified with B；the same as, equivalent to；be indistinguishable to；Be matching to =be matched by；Be similar to; Be parellel to

總結(jié)關(guān)系：all in all, last but not least, in a word, to sum up, in conclusion, at last, overall

列舉關(guān)系：

第一步：First of all=First=In the first place=First and foremost=Firstly=Initially=To begin with=To start with =Initially/ originally/ incipiently

第二部：Second=Secondly=Then=Next=After that=Following that=At the following stage/step=At the next step/stage= then=subsequently=furthermore=moreover

第三部：Third=Thirdly=third of all=in the third place=last=lastly=last of all=in the last place=last but not least =Eventually=Ultimately

2, 銜接手段合理（manages all aspects of cohesion well）

這一點(diǎn)不僅體現(xiàn)在考生是否能夠正確合理的使用連接詞或者詞組上。更重要的是能夠合理，快速的確定文章的寫作思路和順序。比如小作文的描寫順序是應(yīng)該從大到小呢?還是從小到大寫呢？流程圖的地理位置從上到下呢?還是從里到外？都是要思考的問(wèn)題。比如劍橋8 test 1的小作文范文中，考官在描寫地區(qū)土地惡化原因的表格圖的時(shí)候。就按照了，土地惡化最嚴(yán)重的地區(qū)——Europe (23%),其次寫了Oceania (13%), 最后寫了土地惡化最輕的北美地區(qū)（North America-5%）.

3, 熟練地使用改寫技巧（skillfully manages paragraphing）

對(duì)題目，配圖個(gè)別詞匯的改寫，不僅僅是替換這么簡(jiǎn)單，還包括很多高級(jí)的技巧。具體如下：

換同義詞：比如劍橋8 test 1 小作文 題目：The pie chart below shows the main reasons why agricultural land becomes less productive.題目替換成 范文：The pie chart shows that there are four main causes of farmland becoming degraded in the world today. 其中reasons=causes; agricultural land=farmland; less productive= degraded.

改單詞詞性：?jiǎn)卧~在各種詞性之間轉(zhuǎn)換。比如劍橋7 test2 小作文：題目日下：The graph below shows the consumption of fish and some different kinds of meat in a European country between 1979 and 2004.題目改寫成：The graph illustrates changed in the amounts of beef, lamb, chicken and fish consumed in a particular European country between 1979 and 2004. 其中，consumption 為名詞；consume 為動(dòng)詞。

單詞變句子。這是最難，要求最高的小作文要求。例如：雅思題目：The three pie charts below show the changes in annual spending by a particular UK school in 1981,1991,2001.改寫成The charts show how much a UK school spent on different running costs in three separate years: 1981, 1991 and 2001.

總之，小作文的提高，體現(xiàn)在不斷的閱讀高分范文和大量的寫作練習(xí)上。希望大家在寫小作文的時(shí)候有效的注意以上提及的內(nèi)容，你的雅思小作文必然得到質(zhì)的提升。
