Checking for paragraph links /Thematic relationship

The ideas within a paragraph are linked cohesively; a new paragraph must be
linked in some way with the previous one.
Here are some different ways in which the opening of a paragraph can link back to
what has happened before. The basic types of paragraph-paragraph relationship
are : reinforcement of idea; contrast of idea; addition/elaboration; emphasis; and
cause and effect. Indicating these relationships builds a 'bridge' between
paragraphs and makes reading the text easier.

Thematic Relations
- What the relation is between two or more paragraphs:
1. Reinforcement/Repetition/Emphasis (the idea in the previous paragraph is being

3. Problem/Solution (writer states the problem in the 1st paragraph and gives solutions
in the2nd
4. Compare Contrast
