雅思写作备考干货:逻辑连词

因果逻辑连词是整个大作文论证的核心逻辑连词,但是不少同学提到因果往往脑海中浮现的就是 because, so .下面我们来看一些可以替换的逻辑连接词

有责任改善环境从而预防各种疾病。
4.条件

下面我们就来看一下如何将这几组逻辑连词应用到写作实战中去,下面我们看一道比较经典的题目。
Someteachers say students should be organised into groups to study. Others arguestudents should be arranged to study alone. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
这道题目主要讨论了小组学习和个人学习孰优孰劣。其中个人学习的一个优点就是可以相互帮助。我们可以首先带入条件逻辑连词如果学生小组学习,可以相互帮助。接着带入因果逻辑连词,由于这样的机会。他们就可以发现自己的不足查漏补缺。进一步带入递进逻辑连接词,小组合作还可以让他们相互学习对方的长处并且克服缺点。最后带入对比逻辑连词,而那些自己学习的学生则很难发现自己的不足。
Providedthat students study in teams, they are able to communicate with each other andshare knowledge. For the sake of the opportunities offered by group work, thesestudents are more likely to discover knowledge gaps and acquire knowledgeaccordingly to fill these gaps. On top of that, they can make the most of eachother’s knowledge and strengths to overcome their weaknesses. In contrast, itis difficult for those students who study by themselves to realize theirproblems and make progress.
以上就是如何通过三类逻辑连接词实现文章的逻辑性。通过在写作过程灵活使用逻辑连接手段,各位可以很好的将段落串成一个连贯性的整体。
下面是几道题目,大家可以模仿范文的思路,练习一下逻辑连接工具在段落内的应用
