Theory and Practice to Create a Coherent Paragraph

Image
  Target: 2 meetings Coherence     In addition to unity, coherence plays a crucial role in making a paragraph read well. Every coherent paragraph contains smoothly-connected ideas. Each sentence moves on naturally. The paragraph is like a well-built highway, vehicles run smoothly on it without encountering too many obstacles. On the contrary, the incoherent paragraph might be like a zig-zag, bumpy mountain road; vehicles cannot move fast or easily on it. Compare the following figures.     To achieve coherence, the writer needs to use the transitions , such as, however, although, finally, and nevertheless . As the word implies, a transition is similar to change from one item of idea to another. A coherent paragraph consists of interrelated sentences which move in such a way that they smooth the way, one for the other. Without transitions, it is difficult for (beginning) writers to produce a coherent paragraph.      Using appropriate transitions, writers will not jump out of the blue o

 Target: 2 meetings          Basically, a paragraph is unified by mutually supported sentences. The word 'unity' is synonymous with 'oneness'. All sentences in a paragraph should focus on the one thing expressed in the topic sentence; all of the sentences stick together. Unity can be achieved as long as the paragraph has a good, clear topic sentence. If not, we will find it very difficult to control the flowing-in of information. As a result, we might include irrelevant pieces of information into the paragraph we are writing. Once again, it would be wiser for us to place the topic sentence at the very beginning of the paragraph.     In a unified paragraph, the subject and the attitude in the topic sentence must be explained thoroughly. The 'problem' stated in the sentences has to be settled. All supporting sentences function to clarify the 'problem', that is, the topic. The paragraph should answer or explain what it should. It is the writer's main jo
