PROPERTIES OF A
WELL-WRITTEN TEXT
READING AND WRITING SKILLS
ORGANIZATION
refers to the flow of the ideas in a text.
Creating an outline before writing can
help you organize your ideas. An outline
is a technique that can be utilized to show
the general ideas and
specific/subordinating ideas.
• Poorly written paragraph: Pancakes are easy to make. You
just have to mix all the dry ingredients like the flour which is
already sifted, sugar and pinch of salt. The wet ingredients
are eggs, milk and water. Mix them all together and you can
have the batter. You just have to put butter on the pan and
fry them.
• Improved paragraph: Pancakes are easy to make. First, you
have to mix all the dry ingredients like the sifted flour, sugar
and pinch of salt. Next, you have to mix the wet ingredients
like eggs, milk and water. Then, you can now mix them all
together to have the batter. Lastly, you can heat up the pan
and put a butter and fry them.
COHERENCE AND
COHESION
• refers how ideas, sentences, and paragraphs are connected. So,
the ideas presented in a text are based on a single topic only.
Using transitional and cohesive devices can help to assure
coherence and cohesion. For example, to signal additional
information, you may use in addition, moreover, similarly,
likewise, etc. but when you are giving contrasting idea, you may
use phrases like on the other hand, however, on the contrary,
conversely, etc.
• Coherence – occurs when sentences are logically connected to
produce meaningful whole.

COHERENCE AND
COHESION
APPROPRIATE LANGUAGE
USE
refers to the acceptable style of language for a
specific situation or usage of the text. For
example, business correspondences use formal,

use wordy phrases. However, in literary pieces,
language and style may be less formal and
more creative.

a. Informal/ Personal – these are the slang words, local
expressions, text messaging
Examples: Sup, Gnyt, OTW, Bes, Bro
b. Standard/ Academic - these are the accepted words that
usually appear in books and magazines.
Example: Philippines is one of the richest countries in terms of
language having 172 documented languages according to
Summer Institute of Linguistic. These languages have their
distinct sound systems, vocabulary and structure or grammar.
Levels of Language Use
c. Business/ Technical – these are scientific terms or
jargons Example: Both lungs are clear. Heart is not
enlarge. Pulmonary vascularity is not accented.
Diaphragm and sinuses are intact.

Examples: accept – except its – it’s
breath – breathe their - there
elicit - ilicit your – you’re
MECHANICS
refers to the rules in writing like proper capitalization,
punctuation, spelling, numerals, abbreviations,
acronyms, and contractions.
Example: Poorly written: the department of education

Improved text: The Department of Education (DepEd)
ensures that there is continuous learning even in the
time of pandemic.
