无论什么样的英语考试，写作评分标准高分档次中都会提到：用词丰富，逻辑性强。满足这个要求并不难—用好连接词/代词，轻轻松松拿高分。
一、连接词
“汉语注重意合，英语注重形合”，所以连接词的使用在英语写作中格外重要。正确使用连接词可以避免写作时被汉语思维控制，清楚展现句子的逻辑。
连接词应以简洁、基础为主，不确定用法以及不常见的连接词尽量避免使用，例如thereof, albeit等。
同一类型的连接词在一篇文章中出现多次时，最好使用不同的表达。例如表示因果关系的连接词有as a result, therefore, consequently, so等，可以交替使用。
经典范文
“In addition, people tend to move further and further away from city centres, where land and houses are affordable. High-speed rail allows these commuters to travel greater distances in a shorter amount of time. There is a flow-on effect here, because if we can reduce the number of cars on the road, we can also cut down on traffic jams and road delays.”
范文解析
该文段中较好地使用了连接词。
In addition是一个比较常见的连接词，一般有两种用法：1.放在段落开头引出另一个大论点。2.放在段落中间引出这一大论点下的小论点。
Because 是常用的一个连接词，可以位于句首也可以位于句中。
二、代词
代词和连接词一样，可以起到粘合句子的作用。很多同学经常忽视了代词在英语写作可以发挥的作用，频繁且重复地使用特定词语（例如主语），从而使文章显得冗杂又繁复。需要特别注意的是，代词的指定/指代一定要准确，不能产生歧义，否则就避免使用。
“Safety is chief among concerns for those who travel to work or school on a regular basis. If one drives a car, he or shehas to concentrate on the road not only to avoid accidents but also to prevent other drivers from causing a problem on the road. High-speed rail allows the commuters to leave the driving to the professional controlling the train, allowing them to get some work down while getting to work safely.”
范文解析
可以看出在这一段中，作者尽量使用了代词来避免主语的重复。尤其是最后一句话，作者用them指代了commuters。
