本文为考生们深入剖析雅思写作评分标准之连贯性，考生要掌握写作评分标准才能知道作文的要求是什么，在写作时也能够有针对性的取长补短，查漏补缺，不断改进。下面，就和前程百利小编一起来看一下吧。
写作的四项评分标准中，大部分考生关注的是词汇的替换、拼写的准确以及句法的多样性这几个比较基础的方面，对于连贯和衔接这一项的要求因为和我们的母语产出是一样的，所以很多考生往往觉得不必要重视，顺其自然地写下去就好。但实际上不论图表分析还是议论文，在这一项上失分的情况都比较多，而只要理解并引起足够的重视这种原因造成的失分比词汇和句法方面的更容易纠正。
连贯和衔接这一评分标准中我们一般所提到的只是衔接，也就是说前后两个句子或者段落之间要有如but, and, therefore 等信号词反映出内容之间的逻辑关系，常见的有顺接、转折、并列、递进、因果等等。而连贯性也是万万不可忽视的。一个段落不是杂乱无章的，而是有机的组合，句子的排列顺序必须合乎逻辑，从一个句子到另一个句子的过渡必须流畅(smooth)，这就是连贯性(coherence)。
连贯不仅体现在语域和逻辑两个方面，也体现在意连和形连两个方面。
语域指的是全文的措辞、文风、句式等应保持一致;逻辑指的是文章应该有合理的组织和合理的主位化，相邻的句子应围绕一定的核心概念来表达，使得全篇行文通畅;意连指的是内在的逻辑性，形连指的是使用转换词语。
语域方面的连贯问题在议论文中比较严重，也就是所谓的模板句式太多或者Memorized的词汇或短语太多，与全文文风不符，学员反馈最低压到4.5到5分。
逻辑方面的连贯主要是在图表作文中问题较多。主位(theme)不完全等同于主语，因为主语一般是动作的发出者或者评价的对象，而主位是侧重于每个句子由什么开始，可以是名词充当的主语，也可以是时间或地点状语。适当的调整主位是为了服务于行文的连贯性。
从意连与形连角度而言，二者是不可分割的。只有形连而没有意连，句子之间就没有内在的有机的联系;反之，只有意连而没有形连，有时行文就不够流畅。
接下来，小编为大家详细讲解意连与形连，希望考生们多多参考学习。
1) 意连
段落中句子的排列应遵循一定的次序，不能想到什么就写什么。如果在下笔之前没有构思，边写边想，写写停停，那就写不出一气呵成的好文章来。
下面介绍几种常见的排列方式。
A. 按时间先后排列(chronological arrangement)
We had a number of close calls that day. When we rose, it was obviously late and we had to hurry so as not to miss breakfast; we knew the dining room staff was strict about closing at nine o'clock. Then, when we had been driving in the desert for nearly two hours ----- it must have been close to noon ----the heat nearly hid us in; the radiator boiled over and we had to use most of our drinking water to cool it down. By the time we reached the mountain, it was four o'clock and we were exhausted. Here, judgement ran out of us and we started the tough climb to the summit, not realizing that darkness came suddenly in the desert. Sure enough, by six we were struggling and Andrew very nearly went down a steep cliff, dragging Mohammed and me along with him. By nine, when the windhow led across the flat ledge of the summit, we knew as we shivered together for warmth that it had not been our lucky day.
本段从"rose"(起床)写起，然后是吃早餐("not to miss breakfast", "closing at nineo'clock")，然后是"close to noon"，一直写到这一天结束("By nine--")。
B. 按位置远近排列(spatial arrangement)。
例如：From a distance, it looked like a skinny tube, but as we got closer, we could see it flesh out before our eyes. It was tubular, all right, but fatter than we could see from far away. Furthermore, we were also astonished to notice that the building was really in two parts: apagoda sitting on top of a tubular one-story structure. Standing ten feet away,we could marvel at how much of the pagoda was made up of glass windows. Almost everything under the wonderful Chinese roof was made of glass, unlike the tubethat it was sitting on, which only had four. Inside, the tube was gloomy,because of the lack of light. Then a steep, narrow staircase took us up inside the pagoda and the light changed dramatically. All those windows let in a flood of sunshine and we could see out for miles across the flat land.
本段的写法是由远及近，从远处("from a distance")写起，然后"get closer"，再到(" ten feet away")，最后是"inside the pagoda"……当然，按位置远近来写不等于都是由远及近。根据需要，也可以由近及远，由表及里等等。
C. 按逻辑关系排列(logical arrangement)
a. 按重要性顺序排列(arrangement insgroupsof importance)
If you work as a soda jerker, you will, of course, not need much skill inexpressing yourself to be effective. If you work on a machine, your ability to express yourself will be of little importance. But as soon as you move one step up from the bottom, your effectiveness depends on your ability to reach others through the spoken or the written word. And the further away your job is from manual work, the larger the organization of which you are an employee, the more important it will be that you know how to convey your thoughts in writing or speaking. In the very large business organization, whether it is the government,the large corporation, or the Army, this ability to express oneself is perhaps the most important of all the skills a man can possess.
这一段谈的是表达能力，它的重要性与职业，身份有关，从"not need much skill"或"of little importance"到"more important"，最后是"most important"。
b. 由一般到特殊排列(general-to-specific arrangement)
If a reader is lost, it is generally because the writer has not been careful enough to keep him on the path. This carelessness can take any number of forms. Perhaps a sentence is so excessively cluttered that the reader, hacking his way through the verbiage, simply doesn't know what it means. Perhaps a sentence has been so shoddily constructed that the reader could read it in any of several ways. Perhaps the writer has switched tenses, or has switched pronouns in mid-sentence, so the reader loses track of when the action took place or who is talking. Perhaps sentence B is not logical sequel to sentence A---- the writer, in whose head the connection is clear, has not bothered to provide the missing link. Perhaps the writer has used an important word incorrectly by not taking the trouble to look it up. He may think that"sanguine" and "sanguinary" mean the same thing, but the difference is a bloodybig one. The reader can only infer what the writer is trying to imply.
这一段谈的是a writer's carelessness，先给出一个general statement作为主题句，然后通过5个"perhaps"加以例证。
c. 由特殊到一般排列(specific-to-general arrangement)
I do not understand why people confuse my Siamese cat, Prissy, with the oneI had several years ago, Henry. The two cats are only alike in breed. Prissy, aquiet, feminine feline, loves me dearly but not possessively. She likes to keep her distance from people, exert her independence and is never so rude as to beg,lick, or sniff unceremoniously. Her usual posture is sitting upright, eyesclosed, perfectly still. Prissy is a very proper cat. Henry, on the other hand, loved me dearly but possessively. He was my shadow from morning till night. He expected me to constantly entertain him. Henry never cared who saw him do anything, whether it was decorous or not, and he usually offended my friends in some way. The cat made himself quite comfortable, on the top of the television, across stranger's feet or laps, in beds, drawers, sacks, closets, or nooks. The difference between them is imperceptible to strangers.
本段的主题句是段首句，它仅提出一个问题：为什么两只猫会被搞混。然后对两者进行比较，末句才下结论。
2) 形连
行文的逻辑性常常要靠适当的转换词语及其他手段来实现。请读下面这一段文字并找出文中用以承上启下的词语：
Walter's goal in life was to become a successful surgeon. First, though, he had to get through high school, so he concentrated all his efforts on his studies --- in particular, biology, chemistry, and math. Because he worked constantly on these subjects, Walter became proficient in them; however, Walter forgot that he needed to master other subjects besides those he had chosen. As aresult, during his junior year of high school, Walter failed both English and Latin. Consequently, he had to repeat these subjects and he was almost unable to graduate on schedule. Finally, on June 6, Walter achieved the first step toward realizing his goal.
本文中起承上启下的词语有两种，一种是转换词语(transitional words or phrases)，另一种是起转换作用的其他连接手段(linking devices)。前者依次有：first, though, so, in particular, and, because, however, besides, as a result, both…and, consequently,and, finally.后者依次是：he, he, his, his, he, these, them, he, those, his, he, these,his.本段1有词汇105个，所使用的转换词语及其他连接用语共26个词，约占该段总词汇量的四分之一。由此可见，掌握好transitions不仅对行文的流畅(smoothness)有益，而且对于学生在规定时间内写足所要求的字数也是不无好处的。
一个段落里如果没有transitions也就很难有coherence了。我们看下面一个例子：
Speaking and writing are different in many ways. Speech depends on sounds.Writing uses written symbols. Speech developed about 500 000 years ago. Written language is a recent development. It was invented only about six thousand yearsago. Speech is usually informal. The word choice of writing is often relatively formal. Pronunciation and accent often tell where the speaker is from.Pronunciation and accent are ignored in writing. A standard diction and spelling system prevails in the written language of most countries. Speech relies ongesture, loudness, and rise and fall of the voice. Writing lacks gesture,loudness and the rise and fall of the voice. Careful speakers and writers are aware of the differences.
本段中除了第6句开头出现一个起过渡作用的"it"之外，没有使用其他的过渡词语.这样，文中出现许多重复的词语，全段读起来也显得生硬而不自然。如果加上必要的过渡词语来修饰的话，这一段就成了下面一个流畅连贯的段落：
Speaking and writing are different in many ways. Speech depends on sounds;writing, on the other hand, uses written symbols. Speech was developed about 500000 years ago, but written language is a recent development, invented only aboutsix thousand years ago. Speech is usually informal, while the word choice of writing, by contrast, is often relatively formal. Although pronunciation and accent often tell where the speaker is from, they are ignored in wiring becausea standard diction and spelling system prevails in most countries. Speech relieson gesture, loudness, and the rise and fall of the voice, but writing lacks these features. Careful speakers and writers are aware of the differences.
最后，小编总结几点有损连贯性的情况：
1) 不必要的改变时态，比如：
In the movie, Robert Redford was a spy. He goes to his office where he found everybody dead. Other spies wanted to kill him, so he takes refuge with Julie Christie. At her house, he had waited for the heat to die down, but they come after him anyway.
2) 不必要的改变单复数，比如：
Everybody looks for satisfaction in his life. They want to be happy. But if he seeks only pleasure in the short run, the person will soon run out ofpleasure and life will catch up to him. They need to pursue the deeper pleasure of satisfaction in work and in relationships.
3) 不必要的改变人称，比如：
Now more than ever, parents need to be in touch with their children's activities because modern life has the tendency to cause cleavages in the family. You need to arrange family like it so that family members will do things together and know one another. You need to give up isolated pleasures of your own and realize that parents have a set of obligations to sponsor togetherness and therefore sponsor knowledge.
因此写作中，一定要注意时态，人称以及数的变化是否正确，要注意保持一致。
