In this video, we look at what it means to have writing that ‘flows’, or writing that has good readability, and how to achieve this.
We discuss the following points, and then look at a sample essay with and without ‘flow’.
What is flow in writing? The reader’s ability to move smoothly through a text from beginning to end.
✨A reader should NOT:
- have to stop to reread or go back to recheck something
- struggle to find connections between ideas or have to fill in the blanks
- have questions about your arguments/ideas
- be exhausted by the effort
- be bored
🏆How to achieve flow:
- Clear syntax and effective sentence structures
- Focused paragraphs (alignment of ideas, topic sentences, closings)-coherence
- Clear & logical connections between ideas, sentences, and paragraphs-cohesion
- Signifiers (transitions and linking terms, conjunctions, pronouns)
- Maintain progression, avoid digression
- Avoid wordiness, repetition, redundancy, the irrelevant and the obvious
- Variety (words, structures, sentence lengths, approaches, tone, pace, etc.)
- Plan before
- Edit and rewrite after

Hi Adam and thank you so much for this video. I am a native-speaker of English and teach this subject to non-natives at the high school level in Finland. I find my students write English quite fluently but often what their writing lacks is this sense of 'flow'. I appreciate how you've combined basically all of the essential components of good writing into one video. I am planning on showing this to my students when the new school year begins in August and hope it will inspire them! I've been showing many of your videos over the years to my students--you are actually my favorite presenter. Keep up the good work!

Professor you have wonderful way of teaching. Suggestion for upcoming videos. Essay components such as a) Relevance b) Structure c) How to handle an argument or to be argumentative d) Counter-viewing the argument e) Avoid superfluity f) English - figurative and metaphoric g) How to pitch your bias h) How to avoid spurious ideas i) How to show difference between specific and general ideas j) Paragraph transition (most important)

Thank you so much Adam for great lessons or teachings. One request can you please explain the below thought for the day. I see there is there is a causative verb.. but able to identify how many simple sentences are there in it. Once again thank you sir. A THOUGHT FOR TODAY: The thing that makes you exceptional, if you are at all, is inevitably that which must also make you lonely. -Lorraine Hansberry, playwright and painter (19 May 1930-1965)

Another part of writing is to not use words like very and really too much .That's the mistake that most students make.😊

The video is very interesting I want to know what’s the different between transition and conjunction? Thanks
@WritetotheTop

A conjunction, like 'but', is one type of transition. When people think of transition words they usually refer to adverbs like 'however', which cannot be used as a conjunction.

Great presentation. Please, are you an American or a British speaker?
@WritetotheTop
@WritetotheTop Месяц назад
Canadian, actually :) This means I speak with an accent that's closer to an American one, I spell words more like the British way, and I use some uniquely Canadian elements too.

Hello, Adam! It would be interesting to know your rough estimate of the following. If someone watches this video and understands almost all of your speech in it with little or no effort, what level of English listening (i.e. B1, B2, C1, etc.) do they have?
@WritetotheTop
@WritetotheTop Месяц назад
That's a little hard to judge. I make an effort to be clear when I speak and not to use overly complex language. That said, you are probably no lower than B2, possibly a C1.

Explain asyndrum structure. Ex: I saw, I came, I conquered. In this commas are used instead of conjunctions.
@WritetotheTop
@WritetotheTop Месяц назад
This is more of a stylistic tool. The final 'and' is understood and so it is removed for effect. You can just as easily write I came. I saw. I conquered. The commas provide faster flow and a connection between the actions.

It's all about practice and having the right words (and punctuation, to a certain extent).
