Cohesion and Coherence

Dear all,

As for this article, I realize everything that the author informs, it is very useful for writing. The auther talk about the importance of cohesion and coherence, that something I never know before. I like these.

The auther can exemplify the sentences by clear comparison. For example, between the passive sentence and active sentence, he explains both sentences it differently emphasizes.

Moreover, the auther guide about managing subjects and topics for flow (p.54). He talks about how to write for an audience able to understand and two principle (p.56).I like these suggestions.
The authors give an advice that “Organize your sentences so that you open them with old information in the topic position, usually with a character as a subject. Then follow the subject with a verb that expresses a crucial action. Move complex information to the end of your sentence (p.65).”

As for coherence, the authors indicate that “coherence is abstract (p.81).” Furthermore, they offer some principles that will help the writer diagnose such kind of writing and they suggest how we can revise it.

I apologize for late comment.

Thanks
Best regards,
Jib
