这些技巧能帮你提升托福作文的连贯性 托福考试

　　我们这里节选她文章其中一个主体段。
　　In addition to that, travelling to another country gives you the perfect excuse to learn a new language. For example, I’m planning to go to France next year, and I’ve already started learning basic French with the help of apps on my mobile phone. [Learning a new language] is a wonderful thing, as it not only helps you get around in foreign countries, but also makes you attractive in the job market. If you’re travelling in your own country, you will never truly need to learn a new language, and will therefore miss out on the opportunity that it brings.
　　分析：
　　该文段使用的衔接手段主要是：（一）词汇衔接中的同义词（二）语法衔接中的代词指代 (reference)
　　首先 “that” 是一个代词，指代文中一、个理由 “to experience new sights, cultures and food”; 另外， “another country” 是题目中 “foreign countries” 的另外一种表达形式; “it” 用来表示 “learning a new language” 的意思。全段100个单词，出现了4处衔接手段的使用，使得段落内容清晰紧密。
　　超同学对于题目持有同意的观点 (Agree)，他认为在国内旅游好处更多。以下是他的主旨句 (Thesis Statement) 。
　　“I deem I can benefit more from travelling in my own countries.”
　　我们这里节选他文章中两个主体段来分析其使用衔接手段的情况。
　　The most critical reason is time. As a traveler, I would prefer spending more time exploring my destination rather than getting stuck at the security checkpoint, sitting in the airplane, and waiting in a long queue at the custom, which are often associated with international travel. For example, if I have a week of vacation, instead of spending 2 days on the way, I could choose a destination that may only take me [a] couple [of] hours to get there that means I have 1 extra more vacation day.

　　Secondly, ….
　　Lastly, international trip can cost travelers significantly more comparing to a domestic one. Admittedly, cost of a trip is often determined personal choice and preference but a lot of fees, such as visa and currency exchange, are often inevitable. In addition, to save money in another unknown country can be a lot more challenging.
　　分析：
　　该文段使用的衔接手段主要是：（一）词汇衔接-同义词; 词汇衔接- one/ ones 替代（二）语法衔接中的比较级 （三）修辞衔接中的平行结构 (parallelism)
　　首先一、段中连续使用了三个平行结构来表达到国外旅游可能会遇到的不方便 “getting stuck at the security checkpoint” , “sitting in the airplane” , “waiting in a long queue at the custom”, 另外， “international travel” 以及第三段中的 “international trip” 是同义词，“domestic” 是题目中 “in their own country” 同义表达，“domestic one” 当中的 “one” 也是为了避免重复前面的内容而进行指代的。
　　这些衔接手段的使用增加了上下文内容的连贯性，也丰富了语言表达形式，使得段落内容清晰紧密生动。 两段的内容不算多，但单从衔接手段的角度来讲还是值得各位考生学习和借鉴的。
