Ø ASSIGNMENT

1.         Give description on how to write paragraph with adequate and inadequate cohesion.

·        A good paragraph is composed of coherent and cohesion. We have learned about three basic structures of well written paragraph, namely topic sentence, supporting sentence and concluding sentence. In addition to the organization, writing must also embrace coherence and cohesion.

·         Unity refers to the extent to which all of the ideas contained within a given paragraph “hang together” in a way that is easy for the reader to understand.

·         Coherence refers to the extent to which the flow of ideas in a paragraph is easily understood by the reader. For this reason, coherence is closely related to unity.

·        A paragraph is adequately developed when it describes, explains and supports the topic sentence. If the "promise" of the topic sentence is not fulfilled, or if the reader is left with questions after reading the paragraph, the paragraph has not been adequately developed.

2.      Tell more about cohesion.

·        Cohesion is interdepartmental relations in the text marked use of language elements. Cohesion concept basically refers to the relationship form, meaning that the elements of discourse (word or phrase) that is used to construct a coherent discourse has linkages and intact. Integration of Shape (Cohesion)
If the coherence associated with the content, the cohesion or coherency forms relating to the use of his words. It could be one of the main ideas put forward a paragraph, but not necessarily the paragraphs that say cohesive if the words are not coherent.

·        to create cohesion in which sentences stick together, there are two ways namely :

1)       Logical cohesion

There are two main ways to achieve lexical cohesion:

a.       Repetition of words, a number of content words are repeated throughout out the text, religious [four times]

b.       Lexical set’’chain’’, there are words which interrelate each other in the same topic area.

2)     Grammatical cohesion

This is achieved in a number of different ways too:

a.       Pronoun and possessive reference. Pronoun or more frequently a possessive is used instead of a noun.

b.       Article reference. Articles are used for text cohesion.

c.       Tense agreement, writers use tense agreement to make text cohesive.

d.       Linkers, the text also achieve coherence through the use of linkers,

3.      Write more about the difference between coherence and cohesion.

·        The difference between cohesion and coherence at something integrated or combined. In cohesion, which is integrated visible elements of the text, including the structure of the grammar. Integration of Shape (Cohesion), if the coherence associated with the content, the cohesion or coherence forms relating to the use of his words. It could be one of the main ideas put forward a paragraph, but not necessarily the paragraphs that say cohesive if the words are not coherent.Meanwhile , cohesiveness or coherence have elements like ( meaning , concepts , and knowledge ) that are combined .

·         In brief, coherence means balance. it is the appropriate connections among the sentences. One of them is called as transitional signs. The transitional signs are essential because they connect one sentence to the other. They provide a unity and a smooth shift between them. They allow the ideas and point to be presented in a very clear pattern for the readers.

4.      Show which text or sentence that shows adequate or inadequate cohesion on your paragraph by underlining or putting in the table.
