Coherence is achieved when sentences and ideas are connected and flow together
smoothly. A paragraph without coherence can inhibit a reader’s ability to understand the
ideas and main points of the paragraph. Coherence allows the reader to move easily from
one idea to the next, from one sentence to the next, and from one paragraph to the next.
Organization in paragraph refers to the way sentences are ordered and structured to
create a unified and cohesive body of text.
Following are several methods that can be used to achieve coherence and organization
in paragraph writing:
Repeating key words or phrases helps connect and focus idea(s) throughout the
essay.
They believe Shakespeare’s sonnets and plays are far too complicated to read
and understand.
Example: Many students believe they cannot write a good essay because they are not
writers. However, as they practice writing and work on developing their writing skills,
most students can gain the needed confidence to start thinking of themselves writers.
Example: Mr. Thompson agreed to meet with members of the worker’s union before
he signed the contract. He was interested in hearing their concerns about the new
insurance plan.
Example: Teenagers face an enormous amount of peer pressure from friends and
schoolmates. As a result, many young adults are exhibiting signs of severe stress
or depression at an early age.
Example: Usually, the children spend the summer weekends playing ball in park,
swimming in the neighbor’s pool, eating ice cream under the tree, or camping in the
backyard.

Activity 3
For this activity, you will imagine that you are a newspaper reporter who is assigned to
interview one of the main characters. Prepare questions using the 5ws (Who, What, Where,
When, and Why). Then write an article containing detailed personal information from an
objective point-of-view. You can use newspapers or through the internet that can be your
source of information for the said article.
What I Can Do
Read the paragraph carefully. First, you will see the original writing. Then, correct the
writing by applying about paragraph development. Rewrite the paragraph on the box given
or a separate sheet of paper.
First of all, a friend mustn't tell lie. He must always tell me the truth and he must
be honest because if there is honesty between two friends, their relationship will
last until death. In addition to honesty, helping or being near a friend on a bad day
is very important. Another point to consider is that he must criticize me if I make
a mistake.
A friend must:
* not tell a lie
1. It is true that we like to wonder about the world around us, and this it what Thomas
writes about. He contrasts things as great as the planet Earth with bacteria. He
clearly thinks we need to be more careful about our environment; if we don’t, we
are threatening our future. Even a casual dinner party will sometimes find people
talking about very scientific things like a virus or beetle. I had a pet dog that died
after a virus attack of some kind. All children grow old and are different from one
another because of genetics. That’s the way it is.

3. In conclusion, we see that Thomas has clearly centered his choices of seven
wonders in the scientific world, on cells and a virus for example, on the smallest
living things. However, he has also gone to the other end of the scale with his
choices of the human child and the planet Earth. Most readers would probably
agree with the last two choices, and even with most of the other choices as well,
because he is convincing in his arguments. Just thinking of the development of
Earth could keep us busy a long time. My choices would likely include the modern
automobile or jet plane, I think. What would your choices include? Just making us
think about it all means he has written a successful essay.
