Coherence and cohesion

What is coherence and cohesion? 

​

Coherence and cohesion is about organising and connecting your writing so that it flows smoothly and easy for the reader to follow. 

​

What are cohesive devices?

​

Cohesive devices are basically linking words and conjunctions that allow your sentences and ideas to connect to each other. 

​

What is the easiest part of coherence and cohesion?

​

The easiest thing to do is to have clear paragraphs and and an empty line between them. 

​

How do I present a clear central topic within each paragraph?

​

You can do this with a topic sentence. 

​

What is referencing and substitution?

​

Referencing is using pronouns to refer to something already mentioned. 

Substitution is about using a synonym or alternative phrasing to avoid repeating nouns. 

Both are important for a high level essay.
