A Short Narrative Text

The student handed in her most difficult assignment, which was a 10,000 word project and the longest piece of academic writing she had completed. Though exhausting, she was happy to have finished the work, which had taken all her strength due to its challenging nature. She could now sleep easily without being troubled by thoughts of the unfinished work, as her nightmare was over with the project complete.

COHESION EXERCISE

Colour code this short piece of creative writing to show how the cohesion is
created. Use the colour code below; the first three have been done for you as
examples:
Reference e.g. this, his, which, whose,
Substitution e.g. the ones, the same,
Conjunction e.g. because, so, and, finally,
Lexical Chain means words on the same topic
Cohesive Nouns nouns that summarise what came before or what is to
follow e.g. attitude, success, issue, problem,
Ellipsis means missing words out (do not worry about colour coding these
words as they are not present in the text!)

The student sighed as she handed in the assignment; at last


it was finished. This was the most difficult piece of writing
which she had been set, but she had completed it. The
magnum opus was 10,000 words long. This project, though
not quite a dissertation, was still the longest piece of
academic writing she had ever written. She had thought she
would never complete it and it had taken all her strength to
do so.
Her achievement made her elated, but had left her exhausted.
When she had read the title of the task, she knew it was not
going to be just another essay, not an easy one at all. Finally,
the completed work lay on the counter of the reception [and
was] beautifully bound. She would sleep easy at night, [and
she would be] no longer troubled by thoughts of its accusing
blank pages - the nightmare was over!
