Here it is the explanation.
First, let's see the order of the ideas:

1. Where the house is
2. Type of the house

3. The location
4. The rooms in the house
5. The fact that he lives with his parents

6. The garden
The paragraph is well organized until he says he lives with his parents. It looks
like this idea interrupted his description of the house. It should be put somewhere

else in the paragraph.

Activity 6. Read the explanation below and get the point of the text.

• Coherence and Unity

Coherence refers to a certain characteristic or aspect of writing. Literally, the
word means "to stick together." Coherence in writing means that all the ideas in a

paragraph flow smoothly from one sentence to the next sentence. With
coherence, the reader has an easy time understanding the ideas that you wish to

express. Consider the paragraph below:

My hometown is famous for several amazing natural features. First, it is not
Wheaton River, which is very wide and beautiful. On either side of this river, wh

feet wide, are many willow trees which have long branches that can move grace
wind. In autumn the leaves of thesetrees fall and cover the riverbanks li
snow. Second, on the other side of the town is Wheaton Hill, which is unusual

is very steep. Even though it is steep, climbing this hill is not dangerous, beca
are some firm rocks along the sides that can be used as stairs. There are
around this hill, so it stands clearly against the sky and can be seen from m

away. The third amazing feature is the Big Old Tree. This tree stands two hu
tall and is probably about six hundred years old. These three landmarks

amazing and make my hometown a famous place.
