Assignment almost done. Should be able to print it out before Friday. Writing more than 1300 words about writting processes is not an easy task. Took me quite a hard time to make it reaches 1300 words.

Anyway, in class 4, we were given hints about the exam. If not mistaken exam would be on 3rd August 2008.

We learnt Coherence, unity and outlining in class 4. These will be out in exam!!

Coherence is one important element in a paragraph. A paragraph must be able to hold together by making sure that the movement of one sentence to another sentence is logical and smooth. There are 4 ways to do so:

• Repeating the key nouns
• Using consistent pronouns (do not change from you to she or to he, it must be the same throughout the paragraph)
• Transition signal (E.g. Next, Therefore, After that, First, Second, Third, In conclusion)
• Arrange your sentences in logical order, the common ones are chronological order, logical division of ideas, comparison/contrast

A good paragraph must have unity where only one topic should be discussed in one paragraph and outlining is a process that can help in planning for a paragraph.
