Cohesion from Lat. “cohaesionem” – to stick together
is the grammatical and lexical linking within a text or sentence that holds a text together and gives it meaning.
4 Components of Cohesion :
1. Repeated words
Example :
Music can be an effective study tool. Some people say that music helps them to relax and to focus better on what they are learning. Some studies show that many students actually perform better when they listen to Beethoven and Mozart while studying.
2. Reference
Example :
Annewalked in and sat down. Shepicked up a newspaper.
Johnsippedhiscoffee.

3. Substitution
Example :
Drinking alcohol before driving is illegal in many countries, since doing so can seriously impair one's ability to drive safely.

4. Transition signals
Example
When the Titanic sank, many died because there were too few lifeboats. As a result, federal authorities required that ships carry enough lifeboats to save everyone on board.
