雅思作文常用连接词 Coherence in writing is somewhat like fluency in speaking. It refers to the connection between every two neighboring sentences. When the controlling idea of a paragraph flows naturally from one sentence to the next, the paragraph is said to be coherent. While there are various means by which coherence can be achieved, the use of transitional words and expressions, reference and patterning of sentences are the commonest and most useful transitional devices among all. Transitional words and expressions are usually adverbs, conjunctions or prepositional phrases which can help readers to follow the writer’s train of thought. To form a good habit of using such devices in writing will definitely contribute to the logic and clarity of a paragraph or essay.
