text, all the supporting ideas are
relevant to the main thought. Without
unity, the text will be confusing.

8. Coherence
- defined as the quality of being logical, consistent, and
able to be understood.
-Means the connection and organization of ideas in
a text to create unity.
- to achieve coherence, every good paragraph must
have unity or oneness of ideas. Sentences in a
paragraph are unified and directed by a topic
sentence.

9. Cohesion
refers to the act of forming a whole unit. It is
the glue that holds a piece of writing together.
-To achieve cohesion, you need to know how to
use cohesive devices, certain words or phrases
that serve the purpose of connecting two
statements, usually by referring back to what
you have previously written or said.

10. COHESIVE DEVICES/TRANSITIONAL DEVICES
Pronouns
Ex. Myra awarded as the employee of the month because she was
responsible in her job.
Conjunctions
Ex. Myka and Lara will be attending my party.
Repetition
Ex. The problem with contemporary art is that it is not easily
understood by most people. contemporary art is deliberately
abstract, and that means it leaves the viewer wondering what she is
looking at.

12. Cohesive but not coherent: “My favorite color is blue. Blue sports cars
go very fast. Driving in this way is dangerous and can cause many car
crashes. I had a car accident once and broke my leg. I was very sad
because I had to miss a holiday in Europe because of the injury.
Coherent and cohesive: “My favorite color is blue. I like it because it is
calming, and it relaxes me. I often go outside in the summer and lie of
the grass and look into the clear sky when I am stressed. For this
reason, I’d have to say my favorite color is blue. “

13. To summarize, coherence refers to how the
ideas of the text flow logically and make a
text semantically meaningful as a whole.
Cohesion is what makes the elements (e.g.
the words, phrases, clauses, and sentences)
of a text stick together to form a whole.
