Cohesion is an important feature of academic writing, it refers to the way how I can use the correct grammar to connect words, sentences within a  paragraph or text.

Good cohesion needs the following five methods:
- Reference words: refer to something else in the text. (this - these - that - those - it - they - them - she - he - which)

- Repeated words/ideas

- Transition signals: words/phrases which signal a relationship between ideas. (cause transitions - effect transitions - comparison transitions - contrast transitions)

- Substitution: replaces words with another word.

- Ellipsis: leaving out words because the meaning is clear.

When we talk about cohesion, the sentences must fit logically in the writing, thus connecting one idea with the next, it means tying our words to create a text where the relationships between these elements are clear and logical for the reader, allowing a fluidity in the text.

Daniel. G

# data[].attributes.body
Coherence, what  I can say it is the logical bridge between words, sentences, or paragraphs. Coherent connect ideas within each sentence, that makes a paragraph. So, it means that the Main ideas and meaning can be difficult for the reader to follow if the writing lacks coherence.

Daniel. G

# data[].attributes.body
Coherence is one of the two qualities that give a written or spoken text unity and purpose. The other is cohesion. Coherence refers to the general sense that a text makes sense through the organisation of its content. In writing, it is provided by a clear and understood structuring of paragraphs and sentences in writing.

E.g
A learner's argument essay is coherent because it has a structure that gives unity and follows an accepted form. It begins with a statement of belief, gives the opposing arguments, refutes these, and summarises in a final paragraph.

(Juliana S.)

It's a term in linguistics that refers to how the structure and content of a sentence or text is linked together to create meaning. Cohesion means that writing is well structured with linked ideas that follow a logical pattern. Sentences and paragraphs flow smoothly and are written in the same tense, meaning the piece of writing as a whole is fluid and makes sense.
(Juliana S.)

# data[].attributes.body
Cohesion is the connection of the syntactic and semantic markers in surface structure of linguistic form, or is the relationship between one component and another that can be explained within discourse.

For example:
The latest international dancing competition was held at the hotel, which is one of the most wellknown hotels in this region. The hotel spent a lot of money on advertising the event since it wanted to enhance its international reputation; however, it failed to attract many people. (The connection of ideas is good.)
(Sebastian M.)

In a composition, coherence is a literary technique that refers to logical connections, which listeners or readers perceive in an oral or written text. In other words, it is a written or spoken piece that is not only consistent and logical, but also unified and meaningful. It makes sense when read or listened to as a whole.
(Sebastian M.)

Cohesion concerns the flow of sentences and paragraphs from one to another. It involves the tying together of old information and new. When we write academic essays, particularly in the humanities, we work hard to foster cohesion structurally, which enhances a reader's understanding of our ideas. (Santiago Bedoya)

Coherence describes the way anything, such as an argument, or a part of an argument “hangs together.”  If something has coherence, its parts are well connected and all heading in the same direction. Without coherence, a discussion may not make sense or may be difficult for the audience to follow. It’s an extremely important quality of formal writing.  (Santiago Bedoya)

refers to the way we use vocabulary and grammatical structures to make connections between the ideas within a text. It provides flow and sequence to your work and helps make your paragraphs clear for the reader.

Cohesive devices are words and expressions that show relationships between parts of text and ideas, such as cause and effect, time, addition, or comparison and contrast. (Julieth C)

# data[].attributes.body
I understood that coherence refers to the unity of a text as such. How the ideas are connected to each other to give it a logical order and that makes true sense (Julieth C)

# data[].attributes.body
Coherence in writing means that all the ideas ina
paragraph flow smoothly from one sentence to the
next sentence. With coherence, the reader as an easy time
understanding the ideas that you wish to express.

A text is coherence whe it makes sense.
- We can understand what the text is about.
- We can translate it.
- We can paraphrase it.
- We can summarize it.
- We can explain the meaning to someone else.

Cohesion refers to the way we use vocabulary and grammatical structures to make connections between the ideas within a text.

Cohesion  can be thought of as the way the words, sentences, paragraphs, and ideas stick together.

-Eder

# data[].attributes.body
Ideas that are arranged clearly and understandably are coherent. When a text is unified and clear, the reader can easily understand the main point.

Example:
The Austrian composer Mozart was a musical genius. He has got a swimming pool. It actually tingles on your skin to tell you it’s working. Water would then come out of fountains such as the one shown here. And that is why dogs still chase rabbits. It is an incoherent text because we can see different topics.

Refers to connections between sentences; each sentence is related to the next one and, separate sentences work together to make a unified whole.

Example:

Isabel broke up with her boyfriend. Camilo was unfaithful. Isabel found him with another woman. Camilo cried and told her to forgive the situation. But isabel didn't forgive him and start from scratch. We can't see cohesion here, for we have lack connectivity

The hotel is famous. It is one of the most wellknown hotels in the country. The latest international dancing competition was held at the hotel. The hotel spent a lot of money to advertise the event. Because the hotel wanted to gain international reputation. But not many people attended the event. Poor connectivity
