连接词的作用可不是扩充句子，而是让文章连贯通顺。连贯通顺是高考作文最高分档的判分要求。
比如领导讲话，上来就说：我只讲三点。 First …Second…Last but not the least… ，一条一条清晰明白，大家都听懂了。这就是对连接词的运用。
想运用好连接词，你得知道连接词的前后连的什么。以下我把连接词按功能做了分类，并附上例句或者例文

In addition / what’s more / besides
As for / when it comes to
Another

首先，我起床。之后，我刷牙。接着， 我吃早饭。然后，我穿衣服。最后，我去上学。
Another problem to be discussed is students are becoming obese.
另一个要讨论的问题是学生们在变胖。

表对比

Despite / in spite of
Although
While
On one hand, if I take the job in Beijing, I will be promoted quickly. On the other hand, if I take the job in Shanghai, I can earn more.

说一下愚见。通常所用连词有and，as ... as，还有其他的就不说了，不过扩充句子长度，使用单词比较多的。有的时候“in my opinion”比“as far as i am concerned”更吸引老师眼球，具体什么情况就听老师讲。高中老师给我们说后面的好，到了大学反而前者更稀少甚至用上老师感到很稀奇。
扩充单词方法很简单，FIRST OF ALL，尽量不要用缩写或是连字符之类，比如“I am”千万不要写成“i'm”。前者2个单词，后者1个单词。可以比较“of the clock”与“o'clock”很明显。
AND THE NEXT IS SENTENCE。多使用从句，把本来一个两个单词就可以解释的东西扩成一个句子。可以应用because, because of ... that ..., the reason why ...(eg.:i think that) is ...，这样的状词、关系词在后面跟着。比如写“我喜欢英语”：
- i like english.
- my habit is english.（换长一点的表达）
- one of my habit is english.（加修饰之类的词）
- one of my favorite class is english.
- one of my favorite class i have learned in school is english.（对class进行解释，直接在class后面解释class的意思，此外能用have done坚决不用do，能用完成时，不用一般时，能多写助动词绝不放弃写助动词，因为最简单的“完成时态”与“一般时态”差别不是很大，有时候可以做到互换）
- one of my favorite class i have learned in school is english that i can not like more.（在english后面加句子，先写一个that，在写关于english的句子：i can not like english more，把english去掉放that后面。还有一点，can not可以写作cannot，不要写作can't，没这种缩写，并且尽量写成can not不要写cannot，因为可以多一个单词）
最后一点，要在掌握最简单的语法后尽量多去使用，即使无厘头、即使搭配错误，只会语法不会用也没法扩充文章单词。当每句话都用从句时，到时候因为字数限制不得不采用abbr，或是其他减字数的方法。
再好的方法也需要内化（就是要多想多练）成为自己的知识才能应用，讲得再好，听不懂一样没有任何意义。所以首先要多训练单词/语法，在熟练掌握的基础上多做练习，比如写从句：
原句：
i like english.（想修饰english）
从句内容：
i like english.（拼出english）
给主句要修饰的english后面紧接着加that：
i like english that ...
给从句去所修饰的词/短语：
i like.
把从句带进主句去：
i like english that i like.
完成。
虽然这不能称之为正确的句子，但可以经常做这种练习
最后不要像我想写个简单句都写不出来、没从句活不下去，上限180，写出200还删减不了，当时练从句别人一直夸我结果陷进去无法自拔了。

连词是连接词，他们可以连接单词、短语和从句。Jason老师之前写过一篇文章《学英语 并列连词与复合句》。
并列连词连接句子，起平衡的作用。2个被连接的句子就像图片中的2个石头是独立的，平等的但是却有所不同。中间位置的石头就像连接2个句子的并列连词。把2个或2个以上的句子连接起来就构成了复合句。
<strong>
并列连词for, nor,和yet并不常用。For 也很少用在对话当中，属于书面用语。
Romeo would do anything for Juliet.
He loved her more than life itself.
这2个句子可以用for连接，变成
Romeo would do anything for Juliet, for he loved her more than life itself.
<strong>
罗密欧可以为朱丽叶做任何事情，因为他爱她超过生活本身。
When you’re reading, you shouldn’t translate every unknown word. You shouldn’t read too slowly.
这2个句子可以用nor连接，变成
When you’re reading, you shouldn’t translate,
nor should you read too slowly.阅读英语文章时切记不要去翻译，否则你会降低阅读速度。
Learning English isn’t always easy.
It can be fun.
这2个句子可以用but连接，变成
Learning English isn’t always easy, but it can be fun.
学习英语并不容易，但是却可以很有趣。
You need to do revision within 24 hours.
You’ll forget up to 70%.
这2个句子可以用or连接，变成
You need to do revision within 24 hours, or you’ll forget up to 70%.
你应该在24小时内进行复习，否则会忘掉70%的内容。
<strong>
Students say they want to improve.
They forget to do revision.
这2个句子可以用yet连接，变成
Students say they want to improve English , yet they forget to do revision.
学生们总说要提高英语，然而他们却忘记了复习这码事。
John is a committed and talented student.
He will be successful in life.
这2个句子可以用so连接，变成
John is a committed and talented student, so he will be successful in life.
约翰有天分又有责任心，所以他会成功的。
好了，这些例子也应该够用了，希望对你有所帮助，我是Jason老师，欢迎交流！
