1.2. Lexical Cohesion in text one
a. Paragraph one
Tough times mean finding or improving a job is a job. Nobody said
this was going to be easy. In a good year finding your dream job takes time and energy. And this isn’t a good year. The recession may be
over from a technical standpoint, but the bleak employment picture is a hangover we’re going to suffer through for the rest of this year and
into the next. Our issue this month is here to help. b.
Paragraph two Our package of rankings, data, and advice assesses the state of the
career world in 2010 and offers a broad array of choices contemplate.
We look at such essential topics as the best-paying careers; how to
market yourself in the internet dominated job search sector; the best
websites to use; how to get back into the workforce when you’ve taken time away; and how to find education alternatives to expand your
options. c.
Paragraph three
Techies rule. One thing for sure is that the tech economy has arrived. As you can see from our list, most of the top jobs these days
require math and science skills, whether for engineering, computer science, or medical specialities
. Economists also are in high demand somehow, despite mostly failing to forsee that predicament we’re in.
Maybe the next crop will do a better job.
d. Paragraph four
And if you can’t find a job or don’t like the one you have? Maybe it’s time to go back to school. Getting an advanced degree can be a
great way to weather a recession – as the surge of interest in graduate schools and particularly online education opportunities would suggest.
As jobs start to trickle back into the market, they are sure to require
higher skill levels. Most companies are doing more work with the fewer people, often because the best workers have become highly
productive. The place to start is with our new America’s Best Graduated Schools, debuting this month and online at
www.usnews.com. We have a lots of fresh, useful data about schools and programs that will help you find the right fit. We have more
emphasis on online programs because sometimes the best choice may be a shorter-term certificate program to enhance a specific set of
technical or management skills: Employers list exactly what they’re looking for, and online education institutions tailor their programs to
meet the market needs. We also can show you how to pay for your schooling. These programs are expensive and, despite the economy,
not getting any cheaper. But if you do it the right way, it can be an investment worth making.
e. Paragraph five
I’d like to get your thoughts on the state of the job market. What are the lessons for the country and especially young people starting
out? Are we matching our education to our workforce needs? Will there be enough good jobs to go around? Drop me a note at
editorusnews.com. And tell your kids to do their math homework. There are kinds of reiteration in these texts above. The phrase good
year paragraph one, career paragraph two, how paragraph two are words which are repeated twice. Good year, career, and how in these
sentences also refer to the same referent. So, they are called repetition. In the text, the writer also finds collocation. The prase best-paying and word
carreer usually occur together in a sentence. So, it is called collocation. The word thing paragraph three is very general. Its meaning is very
broad. So, it is called general word. The words engineering, computer science, or medical specialities paragraph three are related word whose
meanings are specific instances of top jobs. So, it can be concluded that top jobs is superordinate, because it is more general than its instances. The
word people paragraph four is general word because it has basically the same meaning of a more specific word, such as men, women,
girls, boys, etc. in those sentences above, the writer also finds a collocation in word workers paragraph four and companies paragraph
four that usually occur together in some contexts, such as industry, business, economy, etc. there is no lexical cohesion in paragraph five.
