You should do this now: write down a list of functions, and write down two to three linking words for each.
大家接下来应该这样做:列一个功能列表,并为每项功能找两到三个连接词。
You can use the functions and linking words from this section, or you can add your own.
您可以使用本节课提到的功能和连接词,也可以自行查询。

Let's see what else you need to know to use linking words well in your IELTS writing exam.
我们看看在雅思写作考试中,大家还需要知道哪些连接词。
To use a linking word or phrase well in your writing, you need to know two things.
要在你的写作中很好地使用连词或词组,你需要知道两件事。
One: you need to know the function, which you learned about in the last section.
一:你需要了解这项功能,上一部分我们已经讲过了。
Two: you need to know the grammar of the linking word or phrase.
二:你需要了解连接词或短语的语法。
Let's look at this now! Linking words and phrases can be divided into three categories.
现在我们来看看这个!连接词和短语可分为三类。
First, some linking words are conjunctions.
首先,一些连接词是连词。
Most are subordinating conjunctions, meaning that they need to be used in a sentence with at least two clauses.
大多数是从属连词,意思是它们需要在一个至少有两个分句的句子中使用。
For example, 'because' and 'although' are both subordinating conjunctions.
例如,“because”和“although”都是从属连词。
After these words, you add a clause. Then, you need another, independent clause to complete the sentence.
在这些词的后面,大家要加上一个从句。然后,还需要另一个独立的子句来完成句子。
For example: 'I need to ask for some time off work because I am planning to attend a training course.'
例如:“我需要请一段时间的假,因为我打算参加一个培训课程。”
'Although social media can help people to connect with each other, it also has several significant disadvantages'.
“尽管社交媒体可以帮助人们相互联系,但它的一些缺点也显而易见。”
Secondly, some linking words are prepositions.
其次,一些连词为介词。
This means you need to use a noun after the linking word.
这意味着大家需要在连接词后面使用名词。
'Due to', 'despite' and 'because of' are all prepositions.
' Due to', ' despite'和' because of'都是介词。
For example: 'Despite the well-known health benefits of regular exercise,
例如:“尽管人们都知道定期锻炼对健康有益,
many people still lead a mostly sedentary lifestyle.'
但很多人仍然过着久坐不动的生活。”
Or: 'Young professionals are increasingly moving to smaller cities because of the high cost of living in large urban centres.'
或者:“由于大城市的生活成本高,越来越多的年轻精英搬到小城市。”
Finally, many linking words are adverbs, like 'on the other hand' or 'therefore'.
最后,许多连接词都是副词,比如“on the other hand”或“therefore”。
These are generally used at the beginning of a sentence.
这些词通常用在句子的开头。
When you use adverbs like this, you need to put a comma afterwards.
当你使用这样的副词时,你需要在后面加一个逗号。
For example: 'Freedom of the press is more important than individuals' rights to privacy.
例如:“新闻自由比个人隐私权更重要。”
Therefore, newspapers should be able to publish stories about the private lives of celebrities if they choose to.'
因此,如果名人愿意的话,报纸应该能够发表有关他们私生活的新闻。
Or: 'Of course, elderly people should be paid a pension
或者:“当然,老年人应该得到养老金,
which reflects the money they paid into the social security system during their working lives.
这属于他们在岗期间向社会保障体系缴纳的资金。”
On the other hand, the pension system needs to be sustainable over the long term.'
另一方面,养老金制度必须是长期可持续的。
This is most of what you need to know about linking word grammar.
这就是你需要知道的关于连词语法的大部分内容。
Is your linking word or phrase a conjunction, a preposition, or an adverb? We have a task for you!
你的连接词或词组是连词、介词还是副词?给大家不止一个任务!
At the end of part two, you wrote down linking words that you wanted to learn.
在第二部分的最后,写下你想要学习的连接词。
Now, use an online dictionary like Cambridge or Longman,
现在,借助剑桥或朗曼等在线词典,
and find out if the words you wrote down are conjunctions, prepositions, or adverbs.
看看你写下的单词是连词、介词还是副词。
