轉折關系

根據(jù)詞性及用法可歸結于

rather/ instead （副詞）

rather than/ instead of （介詞）

例：Because it is more likely now that both parents work, there is little opportunity for children to stay in their own home to 6 or 7. Instead, they will probably go to a nursery school when they are much younger. （可代替詞匯 rather）

My own view is that there is no one major influence in a person’s life. Instead, the traits we inherit from our parents and the situations and experiences that we encounter in life are constantly interacting. (考官鐘愛詞匯)

遞進關系

moreover/ what’s more/ furthermore/ besides/ in addition (副詞)

in addition to/ besides/ apart from （介詞）

學生學習和教師授課時，可根據(jù)以上方法對不同的關系詞（如表結果，目的的連接詞）進行歸類。

翻看考官范文，我們發(fā)現(xiàn)當中有些副詞（最典型為 for example, however, therefore）放在句子中間，前后用逗號隔開，這種句式也是相當?shù)慕?jīng)典。例如：

There is, however, another problem way of defining that part of the quotation.

I think, therefore, that governments need to raise this awareness in the general public.

They will, for example, be able to fly planes and they will be able to co-ordinate the movements of several planes in the vicinity of an airport.

在雅思寫作連接詞的學習當中，我們需注意理清連接詞的四類詞性及各詞性用法，然后把不同關系的連接詞根據(jù)詞性進行整理，并廣泛仔細的參考高分范文尤其是考官范文當中的優(yōu)美句式，連接詞這一塊的分數(shù)是值得期待的。
