在雅思写作当中，为了达成一定的文章结构，一些关键的连接词是必须的。注意，如果想拿超过6分，最好别用太没有新意太烂的连接词，譬如 meanwhile, nonetheless, nevertheless这样的词，就比however好一些，譬如the primary reason is 就比firstly好一些。secondly but more importantly 就比secondly 好一些。

譬如admittedly，就是从主要观点段落转入反面平衡观点的一个很好的转折词，或者用There is an exceptions to every rule/There are two sides to every question/Every cloud has a silver lining这样的句子来转折。
