a.3.Explain how this paragraph achieves its unity.

Unity in this paragraph is successfully achieved in two ways. First, it means it discusses one idea from its beginning to its end. The main and only idea 1 in this paragraph is ' There are many different kinds of greeting card you can buy these days'. There is no single sentence in this paragraph not related to the topic. Second, as this paragraph is about the different types of greeting cards, all sentences discuss this idea, different types of greeting cards you can buy. Sentence Two, Three, and Four contrast the greeting cards in old days and nowadays in terms of space the cards take and time you need to choose the right card, whereas the next sentences name cards for different occasions and no occasions. Indeed, Sentence Five mentions 'Birthday' Cards and their thirty categories, Sentence Six mentions cards for' getting jobs', Sentence Seven mentions 'thinking of you' and 'Just because' cards, Sentence Eight and Sentence Nine mention 'encouragement' cards that offer 'comforting thoughts and helpful advice' to sad people. The last sentence of this paragraph is its conclusion that paraphrases the topic sentence. Finally, this paragraph has unity , an element of a good paragraph, because its sentences are directly related to its own topic .and its own controlling idea

.C.b. Define coherence and its parts. Use your paragraph above to show the parts of coherence

Coherence which means in writing the sentences must hold together is an element of a good paragraph. The movement from one sentence to the next must be logical, and there must be no sudden jumps Coherence is achieved in four ways: repetition of nouns, the use of pronouns, the use of transitional signals ., and finally the logical order of ideas

Notice

Reporting questions http://www.english-at-home.com/grammar/reported-speech/

When you report questions, the word order changes to look like a normal statement.

For example: "Can you help me?" – She asked me if I could help her.

"What's the time?" – He asked her what the time was.

* Notice: ( The writers of your textbook do not use these change the time expressions , when changing direct speech into indirect speech)

Time expressions also change in reported speech.

The difference between direct and indirect speech

 indirect speech

Direct speech is when we report what someone says by repeating the exact words. In writing we use inverted commas:

David: I have to talk to you about something. (original statement) "I have to talk to you about something," said David. (direct speech) Michelle: I'll call them tomorrow. (original statement) Michelle said, "I'll call them tomorrow." (direct speech)

Indirect speech (or also called reported speech) is when we give the same meaning of what someone says without repeating the exact words. In this case we do not use inverted commas and certain changes may be necessary:

David: I have to talk to you about something. (original statement) David said he had to talk to me about something. (indirect speech) Michelle: I'll call them tomorrow. (original statement) Michelle promised she would call them the next day. (indirect speech) We also use indirect speech when we report inner thoughts:

I had no idea where my keys were. (Where are my keys?) She knew that the lock had been changed. (The lock has been changed.) 5 http://www.grammaring.com/the-difference-between-direct-and-indirect-speech
