在托福写作考试中，副词的应用可以让大家的文章增色不少。副词可以应用在托福写作的任何部分，可以在开头，正文，结尾中应用，可以作为各种成分来修饰文章。

　　1 用副词开头，常见的情形有：

　　(1) 副词修饰全句

　　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.

　　修饰全句常用的副词有：

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

　　这些副词大多数表示说话人对全句的看法，在意思上相等与“It is ...形容词 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.
