PARAGRAPH UNITY AND COHERENCE - Sandra Sembel段落的统一性和连贯性sembel -桑德拉
Paragraph Analysis:
UNITY AND COHERENCE
An effective paragraph should contain each of the following:
A Topic Sentence
Unity
Coherence
Adequate Development
A topic sentence
A topic sentence indicates in a general way what idea or thesis the paragraph is going to deal with. An easy way to make sure your reader understands the topic of the paragraph is to put your topic sentence near the beginning of the paragraph.
Unity
All sentences in the paragraph should have a single focus (should support the topic sentence).
Coherence
Coherence makes the paragraph easily understandable to a reader. You can help create coherence in your paragraphs by connecting one sentence to another using:
Parallel constructions
Pronouns
Synonyms
Repetition of key words
Transitional words
Systematic sentence organization (see adequate development): from general to specific, from specific to general, order of importance, chronological order, space order, steps, cause – effect, comparison and contrasts.
Adequate development
The topic (which is introduced by the topic sentence) should be discussed fully and adequately. Some methods can be used to make sure your paragraph is well-developed:
Examples and illustrations
Data (facts, statistics, evidence, details, and others)
Definition terms in the paragraph
Comparison and contrast
Causes and reasons
Effects and consequences
Descriptions or details
Chronology of an event (time segments)
Steps
Logical divisions
