Handout Chp. 2

From the handout chapter 2, I think I had never learned this topic before, which is unity and coherence. After I reviewed about the definitions and examples from the topic above, I really think that it is the most important thing to support paragraph structure to look even better. First, unity helps us to consider that the paragraph use only one main idea or more. Example, if you want to discuss about the advantage to a product, 'do not' discuss about the disadvantage. But if you want to discuss another advantage, put it on a new paragraph. Second, coherence is the movement from the sentence to the other sentences that must be logical and smooth. This element could be achieve in four ways, such as repeat key nouns, use consistent pronouns, use transition, and arrange ideas in logical order. Finally, these 2 elements could support us to make an excellent paragraph; I hope it could help me to achieve a good grade in Academic English lesson.

Bagio -
The story about the crash is very sad. But we know these things do, sometimes, happen.
Your reaction to the handout is interesting, and worth pursuing. We can definitely discuss it in class.
