由firstly, secondly, thirdly引导的句子间其实构成的就是并列关系，即第一点是……，第二点是……，其三是……，然而老外在日常生活中的对话里引出自己看法的时候其实并不太注意这些提示词的使用，如果使用的话他们更倾向于以下的表达方式：

　　Firstly=to start with/to begin with/first off

　　Secondly=also/as well/and

　　Thirdly=furthermore/besides/ last but not least
 

    二、因果关系
    so / so that / because = cuz / therefore，其中therefore的使用较为正式，而’cause和coz则是because的非正式用法，可在作答的过程中适当替换because，但是切记不可多用，否则会给考官留下过于刻意的印象。
 

    三、让步关系
    Although / Even though / Even if / as long as
 

    四、转折关系
    转折关系指句子中后面的分局不是顺着前面分句的意思说下去，而是转了一个弯，跟前面分句的意思正好相反。中文中常见的表示转折关系的关联词主要有虽然……但是;尽管……还是;……却……。而英文中表示转折关系的连接词则有But…;However…; though等。Though在口语中经常被放在句子的结尾处，其作用相当于在句中放入but。

    五、递进关系

　　Another point I would love to say is that…

　　On top of that I can also add that…

　　And I shouldn't forget to mention that …

　　In additionto what I’ve just said, I can add that…

　　Apart from what I’ve mentioned, another key point is that
 

    六、修饰关系
    that / who / which / when / where
 

    七、对比关系
    On the other hand / while / whereas / In contrast
 

    like / such as / Take...for example / In some cases / and stuff like that / and things like that / or something like that
 

    九、其他
    as well / as well as / in terms of / instead of / rather than
 

    十、不是连词的表达
    tend to / basically / actually / get
