¿Cómo lograr la coherencia en tus escritos?

La coherencia es un elemento esencial para garantizar que un texto sea comprensible y fluido. Al igual que cuando compartes tus pensamientos con un amigo, un párrafo debe seguir una estructura lógica que enlace las ideas de manera clara. Entonces, ¿cómo podemos alcanzar ese nivel de coherencia en nuestras escrituras? Aquí te compartimos algunos consejos prácticos y estrategias que facilitan el lograrlo.

¿Qué es la coherencia?

La coherencia significa que tu párrafo es fácil de leer y entender. Para ello, las frases de apoyo deben estar organizadas en un orden lógico y las ideas deben estar conectadas mediante el uso apropiado de partículas de transición. Imagina un texto donde los temas cambian abruptamente; la coherencia evita exactamente eso, manteniendo la narrativa unida y comprensible.

¿Cuáles son los consejos para escribir párrafos coherentes?

  1. Repetición de sustantivos clave

    • Identifica el sustantivo central del texto, como "gold" en el ejemplo dado, y úsalo varias veces para mantener el enfoque.
    • En el ejemplo, se emplea el término "gold" siete veces, ilustrando cómo esta repetición refuerza el tema central del párrafo.
  2. Uso de pronombres coherentes

    • Los pronombres pueden sustituir a los sustantivos clave para evitar repeticiones excesivas, pero deben ser usados de manera consistente.
    • En el párrafo de ejemplo, los pronombres "it" o "its" sustituían a "gold", manteniendo la cohesión mientras evitaban la sobreutilización del término.
  3. Uso de partículas de transición

    • Las partículas de transición como "first of all", "therefore" y "for example" actúan como puentes entre ideas, creando fluidez en el texto.
    • El ejemplo brindado utiliza distintas partículas para guiar al lector a través del flujo del párrafo.
  4. Organización lógica de los puntos

    • Presenta las ideas en un orden que tenga sentido lógico, ya sea cronológico, por importancia, o cualquier otro criterio que se ajuste al contenido.
    • En el ejemplo, el texto organiza dos características importantes en un orden numérico, lo que guía al lector de manera clara.

¿Cómo puedo practicar estos consejos?

Para practicar, te animamos a realizar una tarea: intenta identificar estos cuatro consejos en párrafos escritos por otros. Puedes tomar un párrafo de un libro, un artículo o incluso un texto escrito por un compañero y desglosarlo para ver cómo se implementan estas técnicas. Este ejercicio no solo mejorará tu capacidad de identificar una buena coherencia, sino que también afinará tus habilidades de escritura. ¡Nos vemos en los comentarios para discutir tus hallazgos y en la próxima sesión para continuar aprendiendo juntos!

Driving requires alertness and skill. As we increase the speed while driving a car, the time of reaction gets reduced. For example, imagine a person moving at a speed of 30 meters per second in his car. If a deer starts crossing the highway 90 meters away from the car, it will take 3 seconds to hit the deer. Therefore, being distracted by just one second would make a huge difference between having an accident or not and hence the importance of being alert at all times.
Skills are also required when driving, especially when driving in cities. Some people have the skill of visualizing with the mind the space around them and making calculations of how far an object is away from them. This type of skill helps them park faster and prevent hitting the car with another object.
In conclusion, being attentive while driving makes us less likely to have an accident and complementing it with our skills makes driving a safer activity.

What is coherence?
Coherence means that a paragraph is easy to read and understand. This can be done by writing supporting sentences in logical order and connect the ideas with transition signals.

There are many ways to show **respect ** to older people.
The **older people ** are people who, due to their age, have diminished their physical capacity. They need our help and our patience to do the daily tasks that anyone needs: crossing the street, sitting down when traveling in public transport, waiting for a short time standing in line, communicating with another person more slowly, etc. The first way to show **respect ** for older people is to help them and be patient with them.
On the other hand, they are people who surely live alone because their closest relatives have died or have health problems. **Then ** another way to respect them , if a conversation is generated with any of them, try to make the talk extensive. It will make them very happy. In addition, the benefit that older people have is their life experience. They can give us good advice generally.
So there are many ways to ** respect ** older people and **older people **can help us with their advice if we respect them.

Credits to Jose Diego Alvarez Paredes Computers are useful in many ways. They are key for almost every profession nowadays. The connection between coworkers and friends is one of the main usage computers offer us. At present, most part of the data is stored in computers, it includes both hard drive or solid-state drive and cloud storage. Not to mention the gigantic number of tasks in which computers save us a lot of time such as calculating data in spreadsheets, editing videos and images, making presentations, and so on. I am only mentioning the basic ones but there are literally thousands of uses where computers are fundamental. Now more than ever, with the evolution of the artificial intelligence, it is mandatory to know how to use a computer and take advantage of this amazing tool. **1. Key nouns:** 6 **2. Consistent pronouns:** 2 **3. Transition signals:** 3 **4. Organizing the points logically:** the first reason of computers’ usefulness is accurate developed, which is connection between coworkers and friends. However, there is not a clear and well-develop second point because he gave us characteristics on the hardware and software, but it is not completely delved into these aspects with examples and explanations. Overall, it is a good paragraph. Keep the good job!
Credits to Christian Isturiz: * Computers are useful in many ways. For example, they are such a great tool for students, with a computer a student can write docs, design slides for a presentation and search information for a task. Nowadays, also the computers are a powerful tool for working, if you have internet connection it's easy to connect with coworkers, chat with them througout different platforms and so on. * **Repetition of key noun:** 3 times * **Key noun as pronoun:** They * **Connectors:** For example, nowadays. * **Logically organizing the ideas:** Examples of the main topic(The computers are useful), also I think the "Nowadays" part is kind of redundant; I suggest to change that for "Another example" or "For instance". * Great job! Don't stop leaning :D!

Companies are not family.
It would be horrible if at some point in your life you will have to fire your mom, just because, she did something that hurt you or that you didn’t like. A very hard premise to begin with…but this is how companies or any kind of business should not work.
Let me tell you about my experience. I work in a company where everyone loved me at the beginning, and everyone treat to each other like “family” I mean really close. When I started to make some mistakes at my job …it was natural that I expected some kind of reprimand, but instead, nothing happened. That lack of guilty about doing something wrong… scaled to more mistakes in the company, not just mine but my coworkers too…and it kept happening…until something really bad happened.
Not to mention all the negativity and hate that rise among coworkers, whom previous were “friends”.
Do not work in a company where they treat you like a family that would be my advice.

Computers are useful in many ways. For example researching, which help us finding helpful information when is needed.
