Nowadays, Western festivals such as Christmas and Valentine’s Day are gaining increasing popularity in China, especially among college students.But whether we should celebrate these festivals has become a subject of heated discussion.Some believe celebrating Western festivals is a sign of globalization.They argue that China needs to take in various foreign cultures so as to blend into the modern world.And celebrating Western festivals is a good opportunity for the Chinese to know more about other cultures.However, others believe that the Western festivals threaten a kind of cultural aggression.Therefore, we should drive them out lest they should undermine our traditional culture.In my opinion, as college students, we should preserve the traditional Chinese culture as well as stay open to Western ones.Therefore, while laying emphasis on Chinese festivals, we could also absorb foreign elements.

第三篇：英语四级写作技巧

英语四级写作技巧

写作中阅卷人喜欢的句式有以下两种：一是插入语；二是倒装。

第一，插入语。

所谓插入语，英语中有两种形式。一种是有两个逗号之间引起的成分称之为插入语；第二种是有两个半破折号引起的成分称之为插入语。如下所示(黑体划线处)：

Jinan, the Spring City, is a famous tourist city.Other people may give us instrumental support—financial aid, material resources, and needed services—that reduces stress by helping us resolve and cope with our problems.插入语的作用主要有两个，一个是突出主语，比如说：He, who would like to play basketball, is a good student.第二个作用是解释说明，比如说：People, especially students, should work hard.第二，倒装

倒装是我们写作中需要用到的。虽然略显俗套，但是却是很能满足阅卷人的主观感受的。常用的倒装形式有以下几种：

Only + 时间状语

Only when all of us join in the efforts of eliminating cheating at all levels can we expect to have a cleaner society and a more beautiful future.Only + 介词词组

Only in this way can we master the writing skills step by step.否定词位于句首(hardly when;never;not only---,but also---;seldom)在我一生当中很难遇到这样的人

Seldom in my life have I met such a kind-hearted man.地点方位名词位于句首

In no other place in the world can one find such enthusiasm for applying for hosting the 2008 Olympic Games.第三，修辞

无论是汉语写作还是英语写作，修辞其实非常的重要。它是作者写作功底具体事例地展现。所谓修辞包括比喻、拟人、排比等等。英语写作中的修辞问题我已经专门写过一篇文章(见《英语写作几种修辞手法》)。这里仅举一个比喻例子，还是拿“重要的”来举例。当你用完词组之后，如果你用上下面比如句子，则文章就会显得神采飞扬，试比较：

The bicycle is important for us.The bicycle is of importance for us.The bicycle plays an important role in our life.The bicycle, environmental friendliness vehicle, plays an important role in our life.The bicycle is like the air, water, and sunshine and cannot be parted with a moment in our life.那么很明显，最后一个句子是我们最终拿到考场上去搏击高分的句子。

第四，平时要注意积累

很多考生为了写好作文也作了好多工作，课下也付出了很多，包括背诵大量的文章等等，但是提笔写作时候，仍不见的有所改观。问题在哪里呢？

我认为，很多考生虽然也背诵文章，但却只是死记硬背。如果合上书本让他复述，他们就会卡壳。就是茶壶里煮饺子，倒不出来。我们说背诵是个输入的过程，出的过程。我们真正需要的是把平时积累的随时随地用在我们的写作中。因此，我们在注重积累的同时，一定在平时练习的时候，把他们多家运用。只有多练多用，才能真正达到学以致用，才能真正提高写作水平。

英语四级作文写作技巧

英语四级考试作文的评分依据是：文章切题，条理清楚语言准确和字数符合要求，所谓切题就是要求考生紧扣文章大纲；条理则要求考生词汇、语法运用不出错误；四级作文的字数要求一般是不少于100字。要在30分钟的时间内，达到这些要求，没有一套行之有效的方法显然是不行的。在这里，我们为大家提供四级写作的一般技巧。

一、审题

1.审体裁（议论文，说明文，描述文）

审题就是要审作文的题材和体裁。因为什么样的体裁就会用什么样的题材去写。那么体裁包括那些呢？它包括议论文，说明文和描述文。从近些年看，四级作文不是单一的体裁，而是几种体裁的糅合体。例如：

Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic “Trying to Be A Good University Student.” You should write at least 100 words and you should base your composition on the outline(given in Chinese)below:

1)做合格大学生的必要性

2)做合格大学生的必备条件（可以从德智体方面谈）

3)我计划怎样做

很多人说这种类型的作文是议论文。这是片面的，因为，第一段要求写“…必要性”，则是议论文；第二段要求写“…必备条件”，则要求写说明文；第三段要求写“…这样做”，则要求写描述文。所以在大多数情形下，四级作文是三种体裁的糅合体。

2.确定相应的写作方法

我们审题的目的就是根据不同体裁确定不同的写作方法。通过审题，我们可

以看出四级作文大都是三段式。如上例第一段为议论体，第二段为说明体，第三段为描述体。而各种文体又有不同的写作方式：议论文：要有论点和论据，而且往往从正反两方面来论述。例如上面第一段的思路是：做合格大学生，会怎么样（这是从正面论述）；不能做合格的大学生，又会怎么样（从反面论述）；所以我们要做合格的大学生（结论）。说明文：可以从几方面来说明一个问题，可以从德智体三方面来说明合格大学生的必要性。描述文：以“人”为中心描述一个“做”的过程。与上两段相比，本段的主语多为人称代词，他要与第二段相呼应进行描述。

二、确定主题句

审完题后，接下来就是如何写的问题。第一步就是确定主题句，主题句既能保证你不跑题，又能帮助你制定写作思路。而写主题句最保险的方法就是直接翻译中文提纲，如上述之段主题句为：

It is very necessary to be a good university student.(议论体的主题句)

There are several respects of necessities to be a good university student.(说明体的主题句)

What I will do in the future is the following.(描述体的主题句)

三、组织段落

确定主题句后，接下来的工作就是展开论述。许多考生真正犯难的也是这一步。最基本的解决办法是扩大词汇量，丰富自己的语法存储。在写作时，语法和词汇都是最基本的。然而，组织段落的能力也是尤为重要的。行文时，不只是提供一些information,还要学会运用一些examples, personal experiences, comparisons, descriptions等等，只有这样，才不会觉得无话可“写”。

四、连贯与衔接

1.列举法

列举的模式通常是

主题句

----example 1

----example 2

----example 3

列举时常用for example, for instance, such as, like, thus, take…as an example, to illustrate 等词语.Nonverbal communication, or “body language，” is communication by facial expressions, head or eye movements, hand signals, and body postures.It can be just as important to understanding as words are.Misunderstandings are often amusing but sometimes serious ones can arise between people from different culture if they misinterpret nonverbal signals.Take for example, the differences in meaning of gesture are very common in the United States: a circle made with the thumb and index finger.To an American, it means that everything is Ok.To a Japanese, it means that you are talking about money.In France, it means that something is worthless, and in Greece, it is an obscene gesture.Therefore, an American could unknowingly offend a Greek by using that particular hand signal.2.分类法

一般是在主题句之后，依次罗列段落指示词所表达的几个部分或几个方面。然后，选用丰富的事例对所罗列的各个部分或各个方面进行具体地说明或解释。There are three basic kinds of materials that can be found in any good library.First, there are books on all subjects, both in English and in many other languages.These books are organized according to subject, title, and author in a central file canned the card catalog.Books can generally be checked out of the library and taken home for a period of two to four weeks.Second, there are reference works, which include encyclopedias, dictionaries, bibliography, atlases, etc., and which generally must be used in the library itself.Third, there are periodicals-magazines, newspapers, pamphlets-which are filed alphabetically in racks, or which have been filmed to conserve space.Like reference works, periodicals cannot usually be removed from the library.分类时常用：most of all，next，moreover，in addition，besides，furthermore，to begin with，to start with，first of all，first，second，third…

3.因果关系

在段落一开头，就用主题句点明其因果关系，然后选用有关材料，客观的罗列某些原因或结果，以阐述中心思想。

Growing numbers of well-to-do Americans are making the decision to move abroad.They find it impossible in America to walk the streets at night without fear of being raped, mugged, or murdered, nor do they see a way to escape the poisonous air of the cities.They maintain that even American food has become increasingly dangerous to eat.Last but not least, they insist that they are sick of the pace of American life, a pace that leaves no time for relaxation or pleasure.因果关系常用语汇: because of, so, owing to, thanks to, thus, as a result of, hence, for this reason, consequently, is caused by, lead to, result in

4．比较法

主题句必须明确表明所要比较的对象和所要比较的范围，实际上就是罗列两个或两个以上比较对象的相同点。

Learning English is like building a house.Laying a solid foundation is the first and most important step.In other words, you should read and speak English every day.Memorizing new words and phrases is also helpful.Like building a house, learning English takes some time.So don’t be impatient.Remember, Rome wasn’t built in a day.常用语汇：at the same time, similar to, accordingly, both, show a degree of similarity, similarly, the same as, and… too, in the same way, in a like manner

5．举例法

列举事实或举出实例来说明中心思想, 是简单易行、具有说服力的写作方法。

Communicating with other people by telephone is very convenient, especially when you have something urgent.For example, if one of your family members is

seriously ill at night, and you don’t know how to deal with it and where to find a doctor, what can you do? A telephone is the answer.Dial 120 and you will get services from the hospital very soon.

第四篇：大学英语四级作文写作技巧

Composition Practice

大学英语四级写作的基本体裁,从表达手段来分,一般可分为记叙文、描写文、说明文、议论文和应用文.我们将在下面进行具体的练习.但是目前四级考试的作文基本形式是有情景的应用文,也是属于几种写作形式的有机结合,需要同学们在写作过程中灵活运用各种体裁和形式.这个精神非常符合目前大学英语以及整个教育形势的发展:即对学生综合能力的测试.大学英语四级考试写作应试技巧

写作的评分依据是：切题、条理、语言和字数。所谓切题就是看你写的作文是否跑题。所谓条理是指每一段的议论的正反清楚，说明的几个方面清楚，描述的时间正确。

一、审题

我们拿到作文后第一件事要做的就是审题。审题的作用在于使你的写作不跑题（如果跑题，条理和语言再好，也得不到及格分，甚至0分。）那么审题要审什么呢？

1． 体裁（议论文、说明文、描述文）

审题就是要审作文的体裁和题材。因为什么样的体裁就会用什么样的题材去写。那么体裁包括哪些呢？就四、六级考试而言，它包括议论文、说明文和描述文。从近些年来看，四、六级作文不是单一的体裁，而是几种体裁的杂合体。例如有一次四级写题是这样出的：

Directions: For this part, your are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic Trying to Be A Good University Student.You should write at least 100 words and you should base your composition on the outline(given in Chinese)below:

（1）做合格大学生的必要性（2）做合格大学生的必备条件（可以德智体等方面谈）（3）我打算这样做

很多人说这种类型的作文是议论文。我们认为说它是议论文是片面的。因为

第一段要求写 “...必要性”，这说明本段体裁是议论文；第二段要求写“...必备条件”，这说明本段要求写说明文；而第三段要求写“...这样做”，说明本段要求写的是描述文。所以我们说在大多数情况下，四、六级作文是三种体裁的杂合体。

Directions: For this part, your are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic Trying to Be A Good University Student.You should write at least 100 words and you should base your composition on the

outline(given in Chinese)below:

（1）做合格大学生的必要性（2）做合格大学生的必备条件（可以德智体等方面谈）（3）我打算这样做

很多人说这种类型的作文是议论文。我们认为说它是议论文是片面的。因为

第一段要求写 “...必要性”，这说明本段体裁是议论文；第二段要求写“...必备条件”，这说明本段要求写说明文；而第三段要求写“...这样做”，说明本段要求写的是描述文。所以我们说在大多数情况下，四、六级作文是三种体裁的杂合体。

2．根据不同体裁确定写作方法

我们审题的目的就在于根据不同的体裁来确定不同的写作方法。通过审题，我们可以看出四、六级作文大都是三段式。如上例第一段为议论体、第二段为说明体、第三段为描述体。议论体有议论体的写作方式、说明体有说明体的写作方式、描述体也有它自身的写作特点。第一段为议论文：它的写作特点是要有论点和论据，而且往往从正反两面来论述。例如上面题目的第一段的写作思路是：做合格大学生，会怎么样（这是从正面论述）；不能做倒合格大学生，会怎么样（从反面论述）；所以我们要做合格的大学生（结论）。第二段为说明文：它的写作特点是从几方面或几条来说明一个问题，就跟某一机器的说明书一样通过1、2、3说明它的用途。就以上面的作文而言，我们从三个方面（德智体）来说明做合格大学生的必要性。第三段为描述文：以“人”为中心描述一个“做”的过程。跟上两段相比，本段的主语多为人称代词。它要与第二段相呼应进行描述。

二、主题句

通过审题，我们知道了写作的思路。下边我们就谈怎么样写。第一步就是要写主题句。主题句是确保不跑题的前提，只有不跑题才有可能得及格分。写主题句最保险的方法就是把各要求句译成英语。例如上述作文的三段主题句分别为：

☆ It is very necessary to be a good university student.(议论体主题句)

☆ There are several respects of necessities to be a good university student.（说明体的主题句）

☆ What I will do in the future is the following.（描述题的主题句）如果要求句是英语就可以把它扩充成主题句，例如这样的一篇做文：

Good Health

（1）Importance of good health（2）Ways to keep fit（3）

My own practice

这样的作文的要求句就可以扩展成主题句。扩展后三段的主题句分别为：

☆ It is very important to have good health.(将名词importance变成形容词important)☆ There are four ways to keep fit for me.(用there be句型)☆ My own practices are the following.（采用原词）

三、条理

保证不跑题是写作当中第一重要任务，第二个重要任务就是条理清楚。对于议论文来说，正反面要清楚。对于说明文来说，1、2、3条要清楚，对于描述文要来，谁干什么要清楚。就拿上例Good Health来说，第一段保持正反面要清楚就应这样写：主题句（It is very important to have good health.,正面（With good health, we can...）,反面(Without good health, we can do nothing.We can't do...)

第二段应当这样写：主题句（There are four ways to keep fit.）从几方面说明： Firstly, we should have our breakfast in the morning.Second, we should have a nap at noon.Third, sports exercises are necessary in the afternoon.And fourth, we could have a pleasant feeling in the evening by listening to the music....）

为了使文章更具关于条理性，我们可以用first(ly),second(ly),third(ly)等副词，他们可以使文章的条理性十分突出。作文是主观性题，要想得高分我们必须把评卷老师考虑进去。评卷老师的时间很短（每份卷子的作文只有一两分钟就要阅完），所以我们在列条条时最好不用：To begin with,...After that,...And then,...The next,...The following,...At last...。因为用这样的词语不利于阅卷老师看出你作文的条理性。

第三段应当这样写：主题句（My own practices are the following.）具体情况（主语为第一人称代词I，与第二段呼应）In the morning, I have my breakfast.At noon, I have a nap.And in the afternoon, I always play football.In the evening, I usually listen to the classic music.

综上所述，如果我们按以上几节的方法去做，就可以保证及格以上分数。四、十二句作文法

在作文的评分标准中字数也是一个要求。

四、六级的作文要求是要写出120-150字。对于这样的要求考生不必怕写不够。我们知道，四、六级作文大都是三段式。我们算一下，如果我们在每一段中写上四句话，即主题句加两三句扩展句和一个结论句就可以了。这样全篇在十二句左右。每一句十多个词，这样就

是120-150字。同时，我们也提醒大家，不能写得太多，写得多容易跑题。在写作时，我们要横向写作，即写某一问题的横段面。例如，上面讲到健康的重要性时，我们只写四句就可以了。第一句主题句，第二句从正面论述，第三句从反面论述，第四句为结论句。但有的同学在写的时候说“健康非常重要，”然后就写“吃波莱非常重要”，因为波菜含有丰富的铁，铁对人是非常重要的，因为...。这样的作文的基本模式是A-B B-C C-D D-E以此类推。这就叫流水账，没有中心。我们写作时要根据横段面去写，而不要写成流水账。避免写成流水账的方法是不要就前一句中的一个非重点词再进行描述。而要对主题句从横段面去写，写完一个横段面就不要再对这一横段面进行阐述了，应当去写别一个横段面。

如果我们感觉字数不够，就在每一句或某些句子上添加些词词就行了。例如我们感觉上边第二段不够长，就可以这样来加词：

主题句There are four ways to keep fit.-There are four or more ways to keep fit for everyone of us.从几方面说明： Firstly, we should have our breakfast in the morning.Firstly, we should have our breakfast, such as milk, eggs, bread and so on, in the morning.Second, we should have a nap at noon.Secondly, we should have a short nap, even 30 minutes, at noon.Third, sports exercises are necessary in the afternoon.And fourthly, we could have a pleasant feeling in the evening by listening to both popular and classic music.

这样一来，我们只要保持本句的主题不变加添一些次要词就能达到字数的规定标准

第五篇：大学英语四级写作技巧简介

大学英语四级写作技巧简介

之一——文章结构

英文写作一直是学生们的弱项，四级考试将近，大家都很担心写作问题，在此我先简单介绍一下文章的结构问题，以后再谈其他方面。

四级写作一般以三段式展开，题目要求中通常包含三个要点，每个要点为一段（记住，一定要分段），第一段提出问题，第二段分析问题，第三段解决问题。

以历年的真题为例，2006年12月的题目为Spring Festival Gala on CCTV，要求：1。许多人喜欢看春节晚会；2。但有些人提出取消春节晚会；3。我的看法。“喜欢看春节晚会”是正常现象，应该作为问题的开端进行简短介绍，“有些人提出取消春节晚会”才是重点，必须给出相应的篇幅做详细阐述。最后表明我的观点，其实就是问作者的态度及解决这个矛盾的方法。又如2006年6月的题目：An Announcement for a Voluntary Program, 要求：1。校学生会组织一次暑假志愿活动现招募志愿者；2。本次志愿活动的目的、内容及安排；3。报名条件和联系方式。这仍是三段式的结构，第一段提出问题——告之大家会举办一次暑假志愿活动，第二段描述问题——介绍志愿活动的相关信息，第三段解决问题——怎样加入志愿活动（报名信息）。往年还考过写简历，写演讲稿，论述社会现象等题目，总是跳不出三段式，因此学生们必须掌握如何写三段式作文。

总的来说有三点要注意：1。开篇就得点题。文章字数有限，必须采取开门见山的方法，但开篇点题并不是说第一段第一句话就得提出问题，在这之前可以有所修饰，有导入的成分，但不要太长，一般第三句就得清楚、突出地把问题点出来。2。中间段阐述必须清楚。中间段是全文的核心部分，要做到阐述清楚，论证充分，要有一致性、连贯性和条理性。一般由主题句和扩展句组成，主题句是观点的高度浓缩，应该言简意赅；扩展句是对主题句的详细阐述，应该做到理由充分，内容一致。3。结尾段进行总结，并提出解决问题的方法。最后的总结在观点上可以重申但不可以重复，另外结尾一定要有所升华，不能仍停留在对问题的描述上，既然存在问题，就必须想办法解决。

至于如何开端、如何论述、如何结尾的问题，大家敬请期待下一回吧！当然我不会让大家久等的:)写作能力无法一口气提高，大家必须在平时勤修苦练。

之二——突出主题

Well begun is a half done，如何开头是值得注意的问题，它能确定你的文章给人留下的first impression。中国人喜欢先讲道理最后给出结论，而西方人习惯先下定义，再慢慢解释。按照西方人的思维方式，我们在写文章开头的时候就得突出主题，不拐弯抹角。

常见的开头的写作方法大致有下面几种： 1。引述名言谚语

eg: “You have to believe in yourself.That's the secret of success.” Charles Chaplin ever said.In my opinion, self-confidence is the first element on the way to your goal.As the old saying goes:“Knowledge is power.” The main way for us students to gain knowledge is from the books.So some students argue that we should read extensively...It is well known to us all that “...”

2.对比，比较

eg: Some people say..., while others claim that...Some people believe..., but others argue that...Old people often feel that..., but for the young, it is....3.提出一个问题

之三——主题句和扩展句

在明确了题目要求、确定立意后，应该根据题意构思出文章的框架结构。其中写好主题句是最关键的步骤。论述的段落包含多个主题句。主题句（topic sentence）反映段落的中心思想，体现文章的整体结构，让读者对作者的思路一目了然。要写好主题句必须注意以下几个方面：

1。主题句必须是个完整的句子，与文章主旨密切相关。

2。主题句一般是general sentence，内容明确、具体。

3。主题句内涵要广，便于展开细节论述。

比如，写一篇论述计算器的文章，主题思想是反映计算器能帮助人们快速解决算术问题，但过分依赖计算器会对人脑有不良影响。那么主题句应该要紧扣计算器的使用利弊这个方面，eg: Calculators can obveousely benefit us.However, overusing calculators will also do some harm to us.如果句子不够具体明确，段落的主题便模糊不清，在进一步阐述时会失去方向感。如：To improve English proficiency, one needs to acquire some skills.这句话中的some skills太泛，读者弄不清到底是哪方面的技能技巧。改成：To improve reading ability, one needs to acquire some reading skills.这样含义清楚，范围明确，便于细节描述。

而如果句子涉及的面太窄，不够general，没有进一步讨论的余地，这样的句子就不适合作主题句。如：Today more and more women are going out to work.这句话含义非常清楚，没有进行详细阐述的必要，所以它本身只能是细节句，用来解释主题句。

主题句确定后，必须有足够的细节去支持主题句所提出的观点，给出充分、有力的论证。这就是扩展句的任务。扩展句是段落的主干部分，是对主题句的中心思想的详细解释，它的特点是：1。清晰详实；2。条理分明；3。内容一致。如：主题句为：Cellphone is one of the most popular means of communication.那么接下来的扩展句应该要紧跟这个中心意思，有条理地进行阐述：（扩展句1）People make use of it to make an appointment, take a message for others, discuss a question and so on.（扩展句2）People even use it to have a meeting or give a notice.这两句话都说明了手机的社交功能，而且以递进的顺序排列，让读者更好地理解主题句的含义，具有说服力。

之四——段落的展开

主题句与扩展句构成段落，那么文章段落有什么样的特点呢？

1。段落一致性。

在一个段落就只有一个主题句，就是说一个段落就只能有一个中心思想，一个核心，段落中所有其他句子都要围绕这个中心展开或铺述，一切与主题句没有 直接关系的句子都要舍弃掉。如：However, fake commodities are extremely harmful to consumers as well as to the whole society.First of all, fake commodities may cause losses to consumers.Meanwhile, fake commodities may harm people's health, sometimes even lives.And in the 1998 fatal alcohol poisoning case in Shanxi Province, for example, a peasant produced “alcohol”, dreaming of becoming rich overnight;which, with 27 people killed and about 700 poisoned, caused great sufferings to the victims and shocked the whole country as well.Therefore, it is really high time we took action to crack down on the production and sale of fake commodities.第一句显然是主题句，其后作者用了三个扩展句进行说明，每句话都与主题句密切相关，最后的结尾句对整段论述做了升华。所以这一段落是符合一致性原则的。

2。段落连贯性

一个好段落在具体语言上和内容上要有连贯性，段落中的句子要符合一定的条理和逻辑顺序，句与句之间衔接要紧密，过度要自然、流畅，这样才能反映出一个清晰的思路。如：It is known to us all that modern transportation plays an important role in our life.In the past people used to suffer a great deal if they had to make a long journey or convey some heavy goods, the fact is that the transport means at that time was simple and rare.Today, various vehicles, ships and airplanes have enabled us to go wherever we like to.Not only does modern transportation bring people much convenience, but is also frees people from the hard work of conveyance.What is more important is that modern transportaion has saved much of our time so that we can do more work and learn more knowledge.第一句话点明主题，然后通过古今对比展开论述，按时间顺序排列，条理清楚，语句连贯自然。

按逻辑顺序安排细节是使段落连贯的方法之一，常用的顺序有四种：时间顺序、空间顺序、演绎法和归纳法。演绎法是先通过主题句给出一般的总体的观点，然后给出扩展句摆具体的事实，体现了一般到具体的顺序；归纳法是先给具体事实和细节，再概括总结出其中道理、规律，体现了具体到一般的顺序。

使段落连贯的方法之二是使用适当的连接手段，一般是指关联词的使用。这个问题我下次再详许述。

之五——段落的连贯性

在确定好一条条的扩展句后，怎样把这些句子流畅而连贯地组合在一起呢？这便是关联词发挥作用的时候了。在英语中，句与句之间、段与段之间一般都有连词或关联词连接，通过这些词读者能够很清楚地明白文章前后的逻辑联系。适当使用关联词是四级写作必备的技能，大家应该要引起特别重视。常用的关联词分为四类：

1。列举类

列举法常用在议论文中，当作者提出一个论点后，可通过列举出一系列事实对其进行说明或论证。列举类关联词有：

first(ly), second(ly),...finally;for one thing, for another;on the one hand, on the other hand;moreover;furthermore;what's more;in addition;besides;first of all;in the first place, in the second place;(at)last;then;next;the last but not the least 2。举例类

举例法是用事例或数据对中心观点进行说明论证的方法，举例类关联词有： for example;for instance;such as;like;take...for example;a case in point;namely;in other words;that is;especially;in particular 3。比较和对比

比较是把两种或两种以上的事物进行比较，以辨别出它们的相似之处；对比是将这些事物进行对照，辨别其差异而指出各自的特征和本质。这类关联词有：

but;however;yet;otherwise;while;in contrast;by contrast;on the contrary;similarly;likewise;like;conversely;rather than;instead;on the other hand;equally;nevertheless;nonetheless;unlike;still;in the same way;compared with...4.因果类

as a result;since;because(of);thanks to;due to;owing to;for this reason;hence;thus;therefore;on this/that account;on account of;consequently 5.总结类

总结法是指在表达了一个观点或举了一个例子后，进行总结、给出概括，这类关联词有：

in this case;according to;in a word;in brief;in short;to sum up
