在托福寫作考試中，副詞的應用可以讓大家的文章增色不少。副詞可以應用在托福寫作的任何部分，可以在開頭，正文，結(jié)尾中應用，可以作為各種成分來修飾文章。

　　1 用副詞開頭，常見的情形有：

　　(1) 副詞修飾全句

　　Luckily, he didn't know my phone number; otherwise, he would bother me.

　　Incredibly, Helena got straight A in her school report this semester.

　　Interestingly, cats and dogs can hardly get along well in a house.

　　修飾全句常用的副詞有：

　　obviously, undoubtedly, apparently, fortunately, clearly, unfortunately, incredibly, luckily, without doubt, surprisingly, frighteningly

　　這些副詞大多數(shù)表示說話人對全句的看法，在意思上相等與“It is ...形容詞 that ...”。

　　e.g.:

　　Obviously, he is nervous about the test. = It is obvious that he is nervous about the test.

　　Unfortunately, he tripped over and fell in the mud. = It is unfortunate that he tripped over and fell in the mud.

　　(2) 強調(diào)副詞

　　Hurriedly, the man drew me a scratch map to show me the direction.

　　Dangerously, the drunkard sped down the street.

　　Slowly and gently, snowflakes were drifting down from the sky.

　　(3) 副詞表示某一地域或某一領域

　　Geographically, Canada is the biggest country in the world.

　　Financially, she is independent, but emotionally she is dependent.

　　2. 用插入語開頭，表示說話人的態(tài)度，或使句子的意思更加準確：

　　Strangely enough, Jennifer does not enjoy sunshine and beach.

　　Generally speaking, winter in Vancouver is gloomy.
