Make a Text Flow

At C2, textual control means guiding the reader across sentences through reference, lexical continuity and deliberate topic development.

By the end of this lesson, you can:

  • ✓
    use anaphoric reference to link ideas across sentences
  • ✓
    use cataphoric reference to prepare the reader for information that follows
  • ✓
    avoid clumsy repetition through substitution and lexical variation
  • ✓
    build coherent lexical chains across a paragraph
  • ✓
    control thematic progression so each sentence develops the previous one
