英语作文中“连接词”的重要性

如何通过使用连接词、句子结构及词汇使一个平淡的文章变得丰富起来。老师们可以让学生比较下面三个段落：

I opened the door,I went into the room. I walked to the window. I opened the window. I looked out. There are many old women doing morning exercises. I watched them for some time.

这是一个干巴巴的段落，下面加一些连接词及一些语法结构后就有很大改观。

After I opened the door, I went into the room. It was dark inside the room, so I walked toward the window and opened it. I saw some old women who were doing morning exercises and watched them for some time.

同样这样一件事，下面再加些改动会更精彩。

After opening the door, I went into the room. It was dark inside the room, so I opened a window to let in some light. I saw many old women doing morning exercises. I stood at the window, watching them for some time.

从以上我们可以看出，要使文章写得连贯、流畅，就要准确恰当地使用各种表示时间先后、时间顺序等方面的连接词，以及运用丰富的词汇和得当的句子结构，这些丰富的词汇和得当的句子结构可以给文章增色不少，从而使整篇文章因此而生辉。
