A well-written text is well-organized in

terms of unity, cohesion, and coherence.

By unity, we mean that the topic sentence


(our statement or stand) is supported by
details such as examples and reasons.

By cohesion and coherence, we mean that


appropriate transition markers or signal
words such as however, similarly, next are
used to
connect the ideas logically.
Coherence is about the unity of the ideas
in a whole composition. It is the
composition’s overall structure and
quality of being logical and
understandable.
Cohesion, on the other hand, refers to
how the whole composition is formed. It is
the glue that holds a composition
together, the link that connects ideas and
makes the flow of thoughts clear.
Cohesion is achieved when sentences
are connected using cohesive or
transitional devices, which may be
grammatical or lexical (words) devices.

Cohesion and coherence go hand in hand


to
produce a clear and easy-to-understand
composition.

Cohesive or transitional devices are


used to achieve coherence.

The Songkran Festival and the Wattah Wattah or
Basaan Festival are alike in some ways and different in
others. Both of these are celebrated in Southeast Asia
and are considered religious festivals. However,
Songkran is a Buddhist tradition in Thailand, while
Basaan is a Catholic celebration in the Philippines in
honor of St. John the Baptist. In Songkran and Basaan
celebrations, people are allowed to spray water and
drench the people joining in the festivity, but this is
done for days in Thailand in April, while Basaan is
done only on the feast day, June 24th. These
celebrations are enjoyed by locals and tourists alike.

The number of school contenders for the
town fiesta’s street dance competition has
declined. Schools and the local government units
(LGUs) have proposed solutions to this problem.
One solution was to ensure that students were
excused from some school activities or given
more time to complete school tasks. Another
solution was for the LGU to subsidize the
students’ costumes and props. Lastly, attractive
cash prizes are also given to deserving winners.
