除了最常见的逗号、句号外，关于分号各位知多少呢？
雅思考试对标点有要求吗？
雅思考试对标点当然是有要求的，尤其是在写作GRA 评分项中，明确要求如下：
◆ 5分：punctuation may be faulty; errors can cause some difficulty for the reader（标点错误困扰读者）
◆6分：make some errors in punctuation but they rarely reduce communication（标点错误不致读者误解）
◆7分：produce frequent error-free sentences; has good control of punctuation but may make a few errors（极少标点错误）
官方制定这样游戏规则，那么，我们就照着做呗！
什么时候可以用分号呢？
关于这个问题，剑雅阅读能给我们答案：

写法：独立句子；独立句子；连词+独立句子.
