提高雅思分数的策略

写作考试任务二中的这篇文章要求写作风格标准且有学术性。

目前市面上也出版了很多教材帮助同学们提高这部分的写作技能。

文章要求段与段之间、句子与句子之间的结构严谨，衔接自然。

对于文章整体效果而言，结构和衔接会直接影响读者阅读的感受。

结构上，也是需要介绍、正文、总结三部分齐全，且介绍部分要合理引出正文，正文要思路清晰地承接介绍部分，总结部分要自然有效地总括自己的观点。

段落内部和段与段之间也要有严谨的结构和自然的衔接，每一段最好都有主题句，提示该段的中心意思。

大部分同学习惯把主题句放在段首，效果比较好。

然后段落中提供相关证据证明段首的主题句。段落的最后一句再有效地引出下一段的观点。

好的文章会把结构和衔接细致到每一个句子中去。

这就要求同学们熟练地掌握一些关系从句、连接词、以及转折词。
