第2节　连贯衔接

连贯衔接叫作Coherence and Cohesion。这项评分标准要求作文分段合理且连接词使用充分恰当。分段合理，是要求作文的每个主体段长度均匀，行文逻辑自然、前后连贯；连接词使用充分恰当，是要求作文中出现足够多且使用准确的连接词。例如下面一个主体段：

Parental nurturing during formative years is crucial for children, as it teaches them important social values such as manners and discipline, which are applicable throughout their life. Moreover , the family provides a sense of belonging and comfort during tough times. For example , individuals could always rely on their families to soothe their feelings and rejuvenate themselves in the face of adversity. （摘自本书范文2，题目为论证家庭、学校和外部社会对儿童的影响。）

本段中such as，moreover，for example都起到衔接上下文的作用。在范文2中，像这样的段落有三个，也即全文有至少九个连接词，符合高分作文的要求。达不到这些要求，分数不会超过6分。

具体细则如表1–1–3所示：
