    Tone is the author’s attitude toward the writing (his characters, the

    situation) and the readers. A work of writing can have more than one
    tone. An example of tone could be both serious and humorous. Tone
    is set by the setting, choice of vocabulary and other details.

    Mood is the general atmosphere created by the author’s words. It


    is the feeling the reader gets from reading those words. It may be
    the same, or it may change from situation to situation.
    Cohesive Devices are words or phrases that
    show the relationship between paragraphs or
    sections of a text or speech.

    Cohesive devices, sometimes called linking


    words, linkers, connectors, discourse
    markers or transitional words.
    If you want so show similarity, you can use
    cohesive devices such as:

    and Equally 

    also Identically

    too Equally

    Similarly  
    If you want to introduce an item in a series,
    you can use:
    First  Then

    In the first place In addition

    In the second place Finally


    If you need to compare, you can use cohesive
    devices such as:

    But  However

    Nevertheless By comparison

    Meanwhile In contrast
    For emphasizing, you can use cohesive
    devices such as:

    In fact Certainly

    Absolutely Obviously

    Without any doubt Definitely


    Cohesion
     is the grammatical and lexical linking within a text
    or sentence that holds a text together and gives it
    meaning.

    There are two main types of Cohesion, grammatical


    cohesion and lexical cohesion.
    1.Grammatical cohesion, which is based on structural
    content.
    2.lexical cohesion, is based on lexical content and
    background knowledge
    Methods of Cohesion with Examples
    Anaphoric Reference means that a
    word in a text refers back to other
    ideas in the text for its meaning. 

    ‘I went out with Jo on Sunday.


    She looked awful.’ ´She`
    clearly refers to Jo, there is no
    need to repeat her name. 
    Cataphoric reference means that a word in a text
    refers to another later in the text and you need to look
    forward to understand

    When he arrived, John noticed that the door was open’.


    Exophoric reference  refers to an idea outside the
    text. This is a reference to world knowledge shared by
    the reader

    ” The Prime Minister responded quickly to the


    threat. Here we are expected to know who the
    Prime Minister is”
    Tense agreement refers to the way that writers use
    tenses to make a text hang together

    “She knew then that he… “had found her letter” is a


    logical ending to the sentence. We are not surprised to
    see past perfect after simple past in a narrative
    sentence.”

    Linkers refers  to words or phrases that describe the


    relationship between ideas in the text

    “And, but, therefore, first of all”


    Substitution or Ellipsis refers to replacing words, or leaving
    them out– this is how writers reduce repetition in a text

    “Now we’re finishing our essays. I know you want to go


    out, but before you can do that, please finish. ‘do that’
    avoids a repetition of ‘go out’. Instead of repeating ‘finish
    our essays’ ‘our essays’ is dropped from the sentence”
