Coherence could be defined with:

Coherence defines the whole writing, and your writing should flow as symphony with harmony.

We should be clear about Thesis Statement

We should be clear about Thesis Statement

In order to achieve Coherence in Writing English, we should have a structure of writing (essay, report, and paragraph); we should have an outline before writing. For example in essay writing:

Reference Words:





Reference words are same as pronouns, so instead of repeating the same word we can refer those words as pronoun in paragraph like (He, She, It, they…. ) .

Example:





Corona Virus is a global problem. It has affected nearly every country.

In this Example we have referred word Corona with It (pronoun).





Repetitive Words:





Repetitive words are Synonyms. In order to achieve Cohesion in paragraph we shouldn’t use the same word again and again instead we can use synonym, which has same meaning.

Example:





Tourists are good for the Economy of country. Visitors spread you culture to other countries.

In the example Tourist synonym is visitor to avoid repetition.





Transition Words





Transition Words or phrases show the relationship between two sentences. We can refer them as Lexical Sign Posts. Examples of Lexical Sign Post to achieve Cohesion:





Signals Lists:

First, Second, Third, Forth, or To begin, Finally





Signals Examples:

For example, For Instance, Namely





Signals Generalization:

Usually, In general





Signals Consequences:

As a result, Accordingly, Therefore





Signal Summarization:

To Conclude, Overall, In Brief





Signals Alternative

On the other hand, alternatively





These are the signal posts to use to show or signal the relationship between two sentences.





Substitute Words:

Substitution words replacement words in which we replace the word from previous sentence.





Example:

Cars are good to commute. Sports one is my favorite.

Word One has replaced the word Car.





Ellipses:

Ellipses are considered as one of the cohesive tool to achieve Cohesion. Ellipses help us to omit or leave few words in the sentence because the meaning is clear.





For Example:

First important feature of Cohesion is it helps reader to understand the relationship between two sentences. Second it helps them to understand the flow of writing.

In the following example “Important feature” omitted because the meaning is clear.





If we will follow these basic instructions we will be able to secure Cohesion and Coherence in our English Writing.
