Cohesion & Reference in Writing
Write paragraphs that hold together the way Lessons 21–25 analyzed: complex noun phrases, reference chains, causation, and deliberate given/new information order.
Writing a Well-Hedged Inference
Write a fact and a reasonable inference built on it, hedged with exactly the right strength — neither stated as certain fact nor stretched into unsupported speculation.
intermediateBuilding a Dense Noun Phrase
Compress three plain sentences into one professional sentence built around 'the extent to which,' 'the ability of X to Y,' or 'the development of' — the exact patterns Lesson 22 taught you to decode, now built from scratch.
intermediateThreading One Idea Through a Paragraph
Write four connected sentences about one topic without repeating the same noun twice — using a pronoun, a this/these summary phrase, and a synonym to keep the paragraph's reference chain alive.
intermediateMatching Causal Language to the Evidence
Write a cause-and-effect sentence with exactly the right strength of causal verb — caused, contributed to, or is associated with — matched to how much the evidence actually supports.
intermediateChoosing What Comes First
Rewrite one sentence twice, each time putting a different piece of information in the spotlight — using a cleft structure or passive voice to control what the reader notices first.
intermediateSpeaking
What you can say at this level
- Spontaneous answers to everyday questions
- Explaining a process out loud, in real time
Spontaneous Explanation
Speak explanations that hold together the way Lessons 21–25 analyzed: reference tracking, cause and effect, and deliberate emphasis, produced on the spot.
Speaking a Hedged Inference Live
Say a reasonable inference out loud, hedged correctly, the instant you see a scenario — no time to plan a cautious sentence, no time to translate one from Bangla first.
intermediateShadowing and Decoding a Dense Sentence Live
Hear a complex noun phrase spoken naturally, then instantly say its plain-English meaning out loud — decoding under time pressure, not on the page.
intermediateExplaining One Idea Without Repeating the Noun
Give a short spoken explanation that threads one topic through several sentences live — reaching for a pronoun or a synonym instead of repeating the same word, the way a fluent speaker does without thinking.
intermediateSpeaking a Cause With the Right Strength
Say a cause-and-effect sentence live, matched to how strong the evidence actually is — resisting the urge to say 'caused' just because it's the shorter, easier word.
intermediateSaying the Same Fact Two Ways
Give the same information two different emphases live — once with a cleft structure spotlighting the cause, once spotlighting the result — switching between them on the spot.
