It focuses on the strategic use of organizational markers and linking words to ensure text flows logically and effectively. The document defines four primary functional categories for linkers: sequencing events, adding information, contrasting ideas, and demonstrating cause and effect relationships. Through a series of practical tasks, learners are encouraged to classify linking words, analyze their application in professional journalistic writing, and refine their own compositions by integrating more sophisticated cohesive devices. This material is designed to enhance clarity, improve structural organization, and elevate the overall quality of written communication for students preparing for English assessments or improving general literacy skills. It serves as a comprehensive tool for both formative practice and skill reinforcement in formal writing contexts.",{"@graph":69,"@context":122},[70,84,105],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":20,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/exam/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/functional-skills-english-writing-cohesion/620940/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"image":86,"author":91,"headline":65,"publisher":94,"fileFormat":97,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":98,"datePublished":99,"encodingFormat":97,"isAccessibleForFree":100,"interactionStatistic":101},"DigitalDocument",{"url":87,"@type":88,"width":89,"height":90},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/functional-skills-english-writing-cohesion/620940.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":92,"@type":93},"Ophelia","Person",{"url":74,"name":95,"@type":96},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-11-01","2026-10-20",true,{"@type":102,"interactionType":103,"userInteractionCount":29},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":104},"ViewAction",{"@type":106,"mainEntity":107},"FAQPage",[108,114,118],{"name":109,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":111},"What are the four main purposes for using linking words in writing?","Question",{"text":112,"@type":113},"Linking words are used to sequence events, add information, contrast with previous points, and show cause and effect relationships.","Answer",{"name":115,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":116},"What is the goal of Task 1?",{"text":117,"@type":113},"Task 1 requires students to categorize a provided list of linking words into their appropriate functional groups, such as Sequence, Addition, Contrast, or Cause/Effect.",{"name":119,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":120},"How can students improve their writing cohesion according to the document?",{"text":121,"@type":113},"Students are encouraged to analyze existing texts for linkers, identify opportunities to include better or more frequent linking words, and rewrite their own compositions to enhance flow.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":83,"og:type":124,"og:title":65,"og:site_name":95,"og:description":67},"article",{"robots":126,"canonical":83},"index,follow",{"doc_id":128,"site_id":62},620940,1792832697,{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":131},{"doc_id":128,"user_id":132,"nickname":92,"user_avatar":133,"doc_module":4,"category_id":19,"category_name":20,"doc_title":65,"doc_description":67,"doc_content":134,"file_id":135,"file_url":136,"file_type":137,"file_size":138,"view_count":29,"is_deleted":4,"is_public":8,"is_downloadable":8,"audit_status":8,"page_count":14,"language":139,"language_code":63,"site_id":62,"html_lang":63,"table_of_contents":140,"faqs":141,"seo_title":142,"seo_description":67,"update_tm":143,"read_time":24,"preview_page_count":4},7971461741311,"https://ap-avatar.wpscdn.com/avatar/74000253aff267980c6?x-image-process=image/resize,m_fixed,w_180,h_180&k=1779345379180704826","Functional Skills English | Writing | Cohesion  \nWhen writing, we often use organisational markers to make our writing more cohesive, so it all fits together well.  \nTo do this we can use linking words. We use these linkers for four main purposes:  \n• To sequence events, often to do with time.  \n• To add information.  \n• To contrast with previous information.  \n• To show a cause and effect.  \nTask 1  \nLook at the following words and add them to the table under the correct heading for how they are  \nused.  \n• First  \n• Therefore  \n• Also  \n• On the other hand  \n• Then  \n• However  \n• So  \n• Meanwhile  \n• Moreover  \n• Later  \n• After that  \n• Hence  \n• Finally  \n• Too  \n• Nevertheless  \n• Consequently  \n• Soon  \n• Furthermore  \n\n| Sequence | Addition | Contrast | Cause/Effect |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n|  |  |  |  |\n|  |  |  |  |\n|  |  |  |  |\n|  |  |  |  |\n|  |  |  |  |\n|  |  |  |  |\n|  |  |  |  |\n|  |  |  |  |\n|  |  |  |  |\n\nCan you add any further words to this list?  \nTask 2  \nFind a text in a newspaper.
