雅思写作考试过程中的连贯性

　　一个段落里如果没有transitions也就很难有coherence了，下面我们看一个例子：

　　Speakingand writing are different in many ways. Speech depends on sounds. Writing useswritten symbols. Speech developed about 500 000 years ago. Written language isa recent development. It was invented only about six thousand years ago. Speechis usually informal. The word choice of writing is often relatively formal.Pronunciation and accent often tell where the speaker is from. Pronunciationand accent are ignored in writing. A standard diction and spelling systemprevails in the written language of most countries. Speech relies on gesture，loudness， and rise and fall of the voice. Writing lacks gesture， loudness andthe rise and fall of the voice. Careful speakers and writers are aware of thedifferences.

　　本段中除了第6句开头出现一个起过渡作用的It之外，没有使用其他的过渡词语。这样，文中出现许多重复的词语，全段读起来也显得生硬而不自然。如果加上必要的过渡词语来修饰的话，这一段就成了下面一个流畅连贯的段落：

　　Speakingand writing are different in many ways. Speech depends on sounds； writing， onthe other hand， uses written symbols. Speech was developed about 500 000 yearsago， but written language is a recent development， invented only about sixthousand years ago. Speech is usually informal， while the word choice ofwriting， by contrast， is often relatively formal. Although pronunciation andaccent often tell where the speaker is from， they are ignored in wiring becausea standard diction and spelling system prevails in most countries. Speechrelies on gesture， loudness， and the rise and fall of the voice， but writinglacks these features. Careful speakers and writers are aware of the differences.
