1.    How to write paragraph with adequate and inadequate cohesion is when we write a paragraph is developed when it describes, explains and support the topic sentence and make the content of paragraph include of grammatical, because cohesion focus on grammatical.

2.    Cohesion as stated by Stephen Bailey (2003) is connecting phrase together so that the whole text is clear and readable. It achieved by several methods, such as the use of conjunction. Meanwhile, Michael Halliday and Ruqaiya Hasan (1976) Cohesion refers to the ways in which texts are stuck together, the ways in which sentences are linked or connected by various linguistic and semantic ties. Cohesion can be called as the outside structure of writing. It focuses on the grammatical aspects not meaning which is achieved by coherence. However, coherence is mostly achieved by having cohesion first. Cohesion is now understood to be a textual quality. Cohesion gives readers the clues for discovering coherence.

3. Differences between coherence and cohesion are:

Coherence:

v Coherence deals with organization of discourse with all elements present and fitting together logically.

v It focuses on the term of meaning (a coherent paragraph has a good level of readability and understandability)

v Coherence is a clearly pragmatic notion. It concern logical thinking. Coherence depends on one’s knowledge about given word.

v Coherence using transition signal and arranging logical order.

Cohesion:

v Cohesion deals with the connection of phrase together so that the whole text is clear and readable.

v It focuses on the grammatical aspects not meaning which is achieved by coherence.

v Cohesion is a mix of pragmatic and semantic meaning. It depends on linguistic expressions there are lines in sentence cohesion is connected with interpretation.

GENERAL STATEMENT

My name is Wulan Susanti. But, my friends often call me Wulan. I was born on December 11, 1994. I live in Bandar Jaya, central of Lampung. I am beautiful girl, right..? Because I’m girl, if I’m boy absolutely I am handsome. I have long hair, pointed nose, dark skin and I have tall and slim body. Almost my friends said that I’m humble, easy going and funny person. I had all of my education background in Bandar Jaya, they are:

1. Kidder Garden PKK of Adijaya (1999-2000)

2. Elementary School 03 Bandar Jaya (2000-2006)

3. Junior High School 02 Poncowati (2006-2009)

4. Vocational High School 01 Poncowati (2009-2012)

Now, I am continuing my study in Muhammadiyah University of Metro. I chose English Department be my major, because I love English. I’m full student. I have a crowded schedule to go to campus from Monday till’ Saturday. Every day is busy day for me. But, although I have busy day, I always do my hobby. My hobby is listening to the music and singing a song. Wherever and whenever, I always do it. When there is no lecturer, I always sing a song or  listen music to refresh my mind. For me, music is my life. Music can make me enjoy and calm when there is problem in my life. All of people like music so much, right?. When there is free time or no schedule in campus, I choose to watching television with my friends or watching movie. I think it’s wonderful. I have the best thing about me, but I think it’s funny for me. But, I don’t know for other people that this is funny or not.  My friends (boarding house or campus) said that my voice is very piercing. That’s why my friends called me “Soimah” (a famous actress and a singer) because when I told or chit chat with my friends, I always speak loudly. I like a substitute name that can be an icon for me. Actually my dream not only be English teacher but also be a success person. But, for now, I want to focus on my major first. I want increase my skill in English, increase my IP, and get scholarship. Those are my target for next time. GO AHEAD! I CAN DO IT!
