- 5. Sample coherent paragraph “(1)Throughout most of my school days my eyes failed to focus correctly when reading. (2)Consequently, I saw different symbols every time I read a sentence. (3)As a result, the printed page was a chaotic kaleidoscope of constantly changing letters that made no sense. (4) For example, when reading the last sentence I would see: “A tters made sense,” or “As le ter that made no ense,” or“Letters mad no sens,” depending on how my eyes focused on a sentence. (5)After my eye problem was corrected, my real problems began because it was assumed that I could now read like everyone else. . (6)This was a big mistake that overlooked the psychological effects created by my visual disability. (7)Most importantly, I was left doubting my understanding when reading unfamiliar material while teachers began to give me increasingly complex material to read. (Get permissions from Jeremy Hexham)”

Editor's Notes
- 1) is the property of being connected, especially of ideas.2)If something is coherent, it is well planned, so that it is clear and sensible and all its parts go well with each other.
- Includes topic and controlling ideaSupports topic sentence/which develop the supporting ideas by giving details and explanation.example, names, numbers, sense.Summarize important ideas/ which expresses the importance of the information in the paragraph, may summarize the supporting ideas if the paragraph is long, or provides a transition to the next paragraph of the essay.which means that all sentences in the paragraph directly support the topic sentence.6) which means that all the information of the paragraph is well-organized, logically ordered and easy to follow. This is accomplished by:-Repetition of key words and phrases (often from the topic sentence)-Parallel grammatical structure -Transition words and phrases.
- In this writer’s first sentence, he introduces the topic of the paragraph, then creates a connection of cause and effect with his use of “consequently” at the beginning of the next sentence.• In sentence (3), he creates coherence by creating another cause and effect relationship with the phrase, “as a result”, and by referring back to the “last sentence.”• In sentence (5), he creates a narrative relationship between events by beginning his sentence with “after” and repeats a key concept, “eye problem”, from the topic sentence
