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.
