雅思寫作沒有亮點，遇瓶頸。用好以下這些短語，幫你寫作拿高分。

  Sometimes, you may need to acknowledge a shortfalling in a piece of evidence, or add a proviso. Here are some ways of doing so.

  在雅思寫作中，在描述某一論證的時候，我們需要用到一些讓步的用法!

  Despite this

  用法→ Use “despite this” or “in spite of this” when you want to outline a point that stands regardless of a shortfalling in the evidence.

  例子→ “The sample size was small, but the results were important despite this.”

  With this in mind

  用法→ Use this when you want your reader to consider a point in the knowledge of something else.

  例子→ “We’ve seen that the methods used in the 19th century study did not always live up to the rigorous standards expected in scientific research today, which makes it difficult to draw definite conclusions. With this in mind, let’s look at a more recent study to see how the results compare.”

  Provided that

  用法→ This means “on condition that”. You can also say “providing that” or just “providing” to mean the same thing.

  例子→ “We may use this as evidence to support our argument, provided that we bear in mind the limitations of the methods used to obtain it.”

  In view of/in light of

  用法→ These phrases are used when something has shed light on something else.

  例子→ “In light of the evidence from the 2013 study, we have a better understanding of…”

  Nonetheless

  用法→This is similar to “despite this”.

  例子→ “The study had its limitations, but it was nonetheless groundbreaking for its day.”

  Nevertheless

  用法→This is the same as “nonetheless”.

  例子→ “The study was flawed, but it was important nevertheless.”

  Notwithstanding

  用法→ This is another way of saying “nonetheless”.

  例子→ “Notwithstanding the limitations of the methodology used, it was an important study in the development of how we view the workings of the human mind.”

  Good essays always back up points with examples, but it’s going to get boring if you use the expression “for example” every time. Here are a couple of other ways of saying the same thing.

  寫作高分秘訣當然少不了舉例!

  For instance

  例子→ “Some birds migrate to avoid harsher winter climates. Swallows, for instance, leave the UK in early winter and fly south…”

  To give an illustration

  例子→ “To give an illustration of what I mean, let’s look at the case of…”

  You’ve almost made it to the end of the essay, but your work isn’t over yet. You need to end by wrapping up everything you’ve talked about, showing that you’ve considered the arguments on both sides and reached the most likely conclusion. Here are some words and phrases to help you.

  總結段必備詞匯看這里!

  In conclusion

  用法→ Typically used to introduce the concluding paragraph or sentence of an essay, summarising what you’ve discussed in a broad overview.

  例子→ “In conclusion, the evidence points almost exclusively to Argument A.”

  Above all

  用法→Used to signify what you believe to be the most significant point, and the main takeaway from the essay.

  例子→ “Above all, it seems pertinent to remember that…”

  Persuasive

  用法→This is a useful word to use when summarising which argument you find most convincing.

  例子→“Scholar A’s point – that Constanze Mozart was motivated by financial gain – seems to me to be the most persuasive argument for her actions following Mozart’s death.”

  Compelling

  用法→Use in the same way as “persuasive” above.

  例子→ “The most compelling argument is presented by Scholar A.”

  All things considered

  用法→ This means “taking everything into account”.

  例子→ “All things considered, it seems reasonable to assume that…”
