• Coherence - it means that with the help of transitions and clear
explanation of each idea in our writing we try to create links which
help the readers move smoothly from idea to idea within the
paragraph.
• Example:
• My hometown is famous for several amazing natural features . First, it
is noted for the Wheaton River, which is very wide and beautiful. On
the other side of this river, which is 175 feet wide, are many willow
trees which have long branches that can move gracefully in the wind.
In autumn the leaves of these trees fall and cover the riverbanks like
golden snow. Second, on the other side of the town is Wheaton Hill,
which is unusual because it is very steep. Even though it is steep,
climbing this hill is not dangerous, because there are some firm rocks
along the sides that can be used as stairs.
