希望讀者們都有在寫作時實際運用上這些單字,面對英文作文時也不再那麼緊張了。
Time 時間先後順序
用法:表示時間軸中事件的先後發生順序
經常被運用在敘述文中,增強自己文章說故事的邏輯性,
同時讀者也能夠教快速地了解你的文章
同時地

Students are not allowed to use their phones during the exam.
在考試期間,學生不被允許使用手機。

在開車時,你必須要同時應對許多突發狀況。

Exemplification or Illustration 舉例說明
用法:通常放在句首。當你提出一個概念後,
便可運用這類連接詞帶出實際例子來補充說明。
小編認為這個分類非常適合用於考試作文,當你想不到更多論點時,
便可以利用親身經驗來補充 (更可以加長文章長度呢!)
舉例來說
to illustrate / to demonstrate, / For instance, / For example,
I think Jean is a good teacher. To illustrate, I have several reasons.
我認為Jean是一個好老師。 為了說明,我有幾點原因。
具體地說
Specifically, / To be more specific,
Specifically, the professor recommended students to participate in public issues.
具體來說,那位教授建議學生們參與公眾議題。
Summary and Conclusion 摘要總結
用法:通常直接放置在結論句句首。可用於各段落小節中,或是整篇文長的結尾。
讀者們要記得在文章的最末段,一定要附上結論句,
不僅能代表文章的完結,也能再次重申文章的重點。
總結以上
In sum, / To sum up, / In conclusion, / To conclude,
In conclusion, I do not agree with the idea that teachers are always right.
總結來說,我不同意「老師永遠是對的」這個論點
簡單來說
To summarize, / In brief, / In short, / In summary,
In short, John had a successful presentation.
簡單來說,John的報告很成功。
Comparison 比較語氣
用法:可置於句首或放在動詞後。用於描述同樣地兩個論點。
同樣地
in the same way / by the same token / similarly /
in like manner / likewise / in similar fashion
By the same token, it would be pointless to go to school
if you do not pay attention to the lecturer.
同樣地,如果你上課不認真聽老師講課,上學是沒有意義的。
Similarly, I like uncle Bob as you do.
同樣地,我跟你一樣愛Bob叔叔。
那麼今天就介紹到這邊啦,連接詞整理也終於完結了!

都能越來越順利、越來越進步喔!
