When it comes to cohesion, the first thing people think of is the way to organize information through cohesive words such as there and how. In fact, besides conjunctions, we can also connect paragraphs through sentences. This kind of sentence is what we call a connecting link. In this section, Mr. Yu Siliang will analyze the cohesive sentences used by two groups of examiners in combination with the examiner's model essay.
The first group is an example selected from the examiner's essay, and the picture is selected from Jane 3.
The first picture shows the average years of education. The second picture shows the number of scientific and technical personnel. Looking at these two pictures, we will find that the data in both pictures are more in industrial countries than in developing countries. The examiner used this sentence pattern when describing the first picture and drawing out the second picture. We can see a similar pattern in the second picture. We can see a similar pattern in the second picture. These two paragraphs are connected smoothly. This is what we call cohesion with sentences, which is also called connecting sentences.
Here, I also want to talk to my classmates about the value of One Sword and Three. I believe that students preparing for IELTS in the past two years have rarely used this book, but about five years ago, many students still used Sword 3 as a part of the brush. Because of the new Cambridge series, it's not used now. In addition, some students think Jian 3 is too old to practice. Aside from the old and new problems of reading, listening and speaking, as far as writing is concerned, Jian 3 has two short articles that are particularly worthy of your reference. We will also take you to discuss the following topics.
Here we introduce the connecting sentences of the essay. Next, let's look at the big composition, which is selected from Jian Ba.
Some people think that parents should teach their children how to be good members of society. However, others think that school is the place to learn these things.
Discuss these two views and give your own opinion.
In the examiner's model essay, the main part is divided into two sections. There is a paragraph about the influence of parents on their children. The other end introduces the school. When introducing parents out of school, this sentence is used to condense:
However, learning to understand and share the value system of the whole society cannot be realized only at home.
However, learning to understand and share the value system of the whole society cannot be achieved just at home. Among them, unreachable words are the core, which not only closely connects this paragraph with the previous paragraph, but also brings the usage of double negation to express affirmation. At the same time, this sentence has a strong ability to draw inferences. We can simplify the sentence to doing … can't achieve just … and then do these exercises.
When we discuss whether the government should protect the environment or whether it is everyone's responsibility to protect the environment. We can introduce the expression that protecting the environment cannot be achieved by the government alone. The implication is that protecting the environment can't depend only on the government, but also on others. Let's see if the next exercise, Jian 9Test 3, can improve public health by increasing the number of sports facilities. We can also nest this sentence: improving public health cannot be achieved only by increasing the number of sports facilities. This is a very good connecting sentence. I hope you can consciously write it down and bring it to your composition.
