coherence = co + herence

hehehe...spent 3 hours of my day in writing class today, mostly discussing in our small groups. jotting down three passages continuously with a considerable fast pace, then need to think about the suitable topic sentences based on the illustrated examples in the paragraph.

then, we got this hard equation to solve.

WHAT IS:
coherence = ? + ?

hahaha...many witty feedbacks were given. the coolest is the topic of my post today (as mentioned above, coming from jason's group member, yong beng).

another similarly hilarious one, i heard a group mentioning sumthing like coherence = ? + ?, therefore coherence = 2?.

basically, we were asked to discuss about this whole equation thingy and after 20 minutes or so, we came up with various solutions.

all in all (a big no-no connector to be used in essays), the real answers turn out to be unity + sentence cohesion.

personally, i think everyone did mention about this thing although not entirely in the right words, but still, it's normal for our answers to be manipulated. (^_^)

actually, there's nothing much for me to explain on this because i am clearly and indubitably aware that my essays also need to be improved. unless i'm like some freaking good writer out there, maybe i can start preaching about essay coherence in my blog post.

however, here are the things that i always do in my essay. i always think that conveying ideas from facts added with personal experiences creates an excellent essay. facts to show we are knowledgeable and if used correctly, we'll look smart, and personal experiences to create personal connection that the examiners can relate to.

if we know the right way to create a coherent essay (which i am still learning), combining these two significant elements, added with our acumen in exploiting the essay question (our maturity is seriously considered to get higher marks), i believe we can aim for high scores.

co + herence is not a bad answer indeed. (^_^)
