Raising attainment through entertainment and learning through laughter.
Cohesion
Cohesion is something a paragraph has when its ideas are clearly linked.
Cohesion can be created through determiners and pronouns, which refer back to earlier words:
The teacher was looking forward to meeting her new class. She was also nervous.
The pronoun ‘she’ refers back to the teacher.
Cohesion can also be created through conjunctions and adverbs, which clarify the relationship between words:
My uncle smokes forty cigarettes a day. Consequently, his clothes smell.
The adverb ‘consequently’ tells us that the smell is a result of the smoking.
Remember, cohesion makes your writing easier to understand and gets your point across better.
