PROPERTIES OF WELL-
WRITTEN TEXT
UNITY

Unity is achieved when a composition


contains one focused idea. In a unified text,
all the supporting ideas are relevant to the
main thought. Without unity, the text will be
confusing.
COHERENCE

Coherence occurs when ideas are connected at


the conceptual or idea level. It can be seen
through well-defended arguments and organized
points.
COHESION
Cohesion is the connection of ideas at the sentence level. It can be readily
seen in a text through the smooth flow of the sentences and the connection
of the ideas. Cohesion can be applied using three techniques. The first one
is through the use of pronouns to refrain from using a specific word
repeatedly. The second technique is through the use of transitional devices
to connect sentences with linked ideas. The last technique employs a
repetition of keywords to tie up the paragraphs subtly.
O R G A N I Z AT I O N

Organization is achieved when ideas are logically


and accurately arranged. Knowledge of the parts
of a composition is a great help in adhering to the
correct organization of ideas. The sentences within
a paragraph must also be organized logically.
LANGUAGE OF USE

Language Use
The way language is used is one of the clearest indicators
of a well-written text. It enables the writer to effectively
communicate ideas without confusing the reader. Effective
language use is achieved by observing the following time-
tested principles in writing.
Instructions: Rewrite each sentence, correcting any errors in spelling, punctuation, and
capitalization.
