Next, let's look at the details of using linking words well in your IELTS writing tasks.
接下来，我们看看在雅思写作任务中使用连接词的细节。
Learning about linking words for your IELTS writing exam can be overwhelming.
在雅思写作考试中学习（使用）连接词可能会让你不知所措。
There are so many words and phrases: 'in addition', 'although', 'except for', 'due to'… There are tens of things you could study.
这里有很多单词和短语:“in addition”，“although”，“except for”，“due to”，你可以学到很多连接词。
However, we've got good news for you! You don't need to learn big lists of words.
不过，告诉你们一个好消息！你不需要学习一大堆单词。
So, what should you do? The best way is to think about linking words in terms of function.
那么，应该怎么做呢？最好的方法是从功能的角度来考虑连接单词。
What do we mean by 'function'? Many different linking words do the same job.
我们所说的“功能”是什么意思？许多不同的连接词作用其实是相同的。
For example: However, on the other hand, nevertheless, and although all show a contrast between two related—but different—things.
例如：However，on the other hand, nevertheless,和although这些词句都显示了两个相关但不同的事物之间的对比。
This doesn't mean they're exactly the same, but they are similar.
这并不意味着它们完全相同，但它们的功能是相似的。
So, what else can linking words do? Linking words can connect similar ideas together.
那么，连接单词还有什么作用呢？连接词可以把相似的意思连接在一起。
Let's call this 'addition'. A very simple example is 'and'.
我们称它为“附加”。举个非常简单的例子“and”。
You can also use 'furthermore', 'in addition', 'also', or 'moreover'.
你也可以用'further’，'in addition’，'also’或者'moreover’。
Linking words can show the reason or purpose of something, like 'because', 'due to', 'in order to', or 'so that'.
连接词可以表示某事的原因或目的，比如“because”、“due to”、“in order to”或“so that”。
You can use linking words to connect a cause and effect, like 'therefore', 'so', 'consequently' or 'as a result'.
你可以用连接词来连接因果关系，比如'therefore’，'so’，'consequently’或者'as a result’。
There are others, but this is a good starting point.
类似词句还有很多，这是一个很好的起点。
Remember these four functions: contrast, addition, reason or purpose, and cause-effect.
记住这四个功能：对比，补充，原因或目的，和因果。
Let's practise! Look at four sentences.
让我们练习一下！请看这四个句子。
Each has a linking word or phrase highlighted in red.
每个连接词或短语都用红色标了出来。
Can you say what function the linking word or phrase has in each sentence? Pause the video if you want more time to think.
你能说出这个连接词或短语在每个句子中的作用吗？如果你需要思考，请暂停视频。
Ready? Let's look at the answers. In the first sentence, 'due to' expresses a reason.
看完了吗？我们来看看答案。在第一句中，“due to”表达了一个原因。
In the second sentence, 'moreover' expresses addition.
在第二个句子中，“moreover”表示附加。
You're making one point, then using 'moreover' to add a second point on the same topic.
首先阐述了一个观点，然后用moreover(此外)在同一话题上补充第二个观点。
In the third sentence, 'although' shows a contrast.
在第三句中，'although'表示对比。
In the fourth sentence, 'as a result' connects a cause and its effect.
在第四个句子中，“as a result”连接了原因和结果。
So, what should you do here?
那么，你应该怎么做呢?
Here's the most important point: you don't need to know every linking word and phrase to get a high score in your IELTS writing exam.
最重要的一点是：在雅思写作考试中，不是说知道每个连接词和连接短语才能拿到高分。
You need maybe two or three linking words for each function.
每个功能的连接词你需要了解两三个。
That means you need two to three linking words to express addition, two to three linking words to express contrast, and so on.
这意味着你需要两到三个连接词来表示附加，两到三个连接词来表示对比，等等。
There's one thing you should know: linking words can have other functions which we haven't covered here.
还有一件事你应该了解：连接词有我们本节课没有提到的其他功能。
That's because we don't want this lesson to be hours long.
只是一节课的时长有限，难以全面概括。
Examples include: showing similarity, showing a sequence of events in time, or expressing conditions.
所举范例包括：表示相似性，以时间表示一连串事件，或表示条件。
However, the basic idea is the same.
然而，基本概念是相同的。
Don't try to learn big lists of linking words. Instead, focus on functions.
不要试图学习大量的连接词。反之，你们应该关注功能。
For each function, learn two to three linking words and phrases.
对于每一项功能，尽可能学习两到三个连接词和短语。
This is simpler and easier for you.
这对大家来说更简单、也更容易。
