We talked last time about The topic sentence, and how to write a good one with required standards. So, this article is about one of the most essential aspects in writing paragraph which is the Supporting Sentences.
Body: follows the introduction; discusses the controlling idea, using facts, arguments, analysis, examples, and other information.
Coherence :
What is coherence in writing?
In a coherent; each sentence relates clearly to the topic sentence or controlling idea, but there is more to coherence than this. If a paragraph is a coherence, each sentence flows smoothly into the next without obvious shifts or jumps. A coherence paragraph also highlights the ties between old information and new information to make the structure of ideas or arguments clear to the reader.
A number of other techniques that you can use to establish coherence in the paragraph are described below.
Repeat key words or phrases.
Particularly in a paragraph in which you define or identify an important idea or theory, be consistent in how you refer to it. This consistency and repetition will bind the paragraph together and help your reader understand your definition or description.
Create a parallel structure.
Parallel structures are created by constructing two or more phrases or sentences that have the same grammatical structure and use the same parts of speech. By creating parallel structures you make your sentences clearer and easier to read. In addition, repeating a pattern in a series of consecutive sentences helps your reader see the connections between ideas.
Be consistent in point of view, verb tense, and number.
Consistency in point of view, verb tense, and the number is a subtle but important aspect of coherence. If you shift from the more personal "you" to the impersonal "one", from past to present tense, or from "a man" to "they" for example, you make your paragraph less coherent. Such inconsistencies can also confuse your reader and make your argument more difficult to follow.
