LET’S LEARN

The organization of ideas is invariably one of the aspects in writing which is

often highly valued. A well-organized piece of writing is not only clear but also logical
and aesthetic. Organization is the logical progression and completeness of
ideas in a text. Strong organization constitutes proper paragraphing and logical
order of presentation of ideas.

LET’S GET STARTED

ARRANGE ME: WHAT IS THE MOST LOGICAL ORDER FOR THESE

SENTENCES?
Instruction: Arrange the sentences to form a logically organized paragraph.
A. Whatever the reasons may be, the effects are disastrous leading to both physical
and mental ailments like insomnia, hypertension and nervous breakdown etc.
B. According to psychologists it is the result of fear due to inexperience,
deprivation, isolation and feeling of inferiority among them.
C. It is a matter of grave concern that ‘stress’ or ‘mental pressure’ has emerged as a
deadly and silent killer for teenagers of the day.
D. In order to prevent these catastrophic diseases, children need to be taught to ‘de-
stress themselves’ through meditation or cultural activities and this will inculcate
feelings of self confidence in them and inspire them to face the realities of life in a
better way.
E. If they are observed closely, this all owes to undue pressure on their mind due to
unhealthy competitions and sky rocketing expectations of their parents and teachers
from them.

was so excited that I slept with it under my pillow for good luck. (3) In May, when
I had to get my picture taken for my passport, we all went together and went out
for ice cream afterward to celebrate.
What would be the best way to deal with sentence 2?
a. Move it before sentence 1
b. Move it after sentence 3
c. Delete it
d. Connect it to sentence 1 with a semi colon
e. Connect it to sentence 3 with a comma

LET’S LEARN

Coherence and cohesion are two basic features that facilitate textual continuity.
The terms are used in discourse analysis to describe the properties of text.
Coherence refers to the rhetorical aspects of writing, which include developing and
supporting your argument. Cohesion of writing is focused on the grammatical
aspects of writing.

Activity 2: ACCEPT ME…NOT
Instruction: Read the following paragraphs and analyze whether or not they are
unified and coherent paragraphs of sufficient length and with a proper topic
sentence. Tick your answer on the blank, then explain why.
1. Thomas uses enumeration well in his essay because from the very start he talks
of the seven wonders of the world, and even mentions this in the title. He then says
he will list his seven wonders but then changes from the standard one-to-seven list
by saying he will keep number one for the last and start with number two. This
change keeps us more interested until the end. Thomas then lists bacteria, a beetle,
a virus, a cell, a termite, and ends with a human child. Then he finally goes back to
number one, the planet Earth. He also uses excellent description when he talks of
the termite.

2. In conclusion, we see that Thomas has clearly centered his choices of seven
wonders in the scientific world, on cells and a virus for example, on the smallest
living things. However, he has also gone to the other end of the scale with his
choices of the human child and the planet Earth. Most readers would probably agree
with the last two choices, and even with most of the other choices as well, because
he is convincing in his arguments. Just thinking of the development of Earth could
keep us busy a long time. My choices would likely include the modern automobile or
jet plane, I think. What would your choices include? Just making us think about it all
means he has written a successful essay.

choice. This makes the essay confusing and leaves us with unanswered questions.
This is not the way to impress a reader.

4. It is true that we like to wonder about the world around us, and this it what Thomas
writes about. He contrasts things as great as the planet Earth with bacteria. He
clearly thinks we need to be more careful about our environment; if we don’t, we are
threatening our future. Even a casual dinner party will sometimes find people talking
about very scientific things like a virus or beetle. I had a pet dog that died after a
virus attack of some kind. All children grow old and are different from one another
because of genetics. That’s the way it is.

5. Every human likes to wonder by nature. We wonder where our next meal is
coming from or whether we have enough money to go out the next weekend. We
wonder whether we might all catch a virus or disease if we are not careful, but what
can we do? We also need to take care of our environment and car pollution is a
major problem. Most large cars are gas guzzlers and the gas is even getting more
and more expensive. Who can afford a car anymore? Who needs a car anymore?
We must control our natural resources. No wonder we are unhappy.
