Coherence and Cohesion
If you have read the marking criteria for IELTS writing, you may have noticed that 
25% of your score comes from “coherence and cohesion.” But what does that ac-
tually mean? 
When writing paragraphs, it is important to maintain 
coherence
. This means 
that the writing should flow logically at a paragraph level. In our plan above, we 
ensured that each point was expanded upon logically. There are no gaps or sud-
den jumps in thought. The reader is led through the text sequentially without any 
surprises. It is not confusing to read, and each fact is explained and or exemplified.
