3. Coherence
This idea should be explain in clear and logical way

- reason (Ask yourself WHY ?)
- example
- who ? (banks)
- how many ? (nearly all major banks)
- when ? (over the last few decades)
- what has been done and how ? (replaced tellers)
- effect (focus on the example)
just tell a story (who - where - what happened ? - what changed ? - how ?)
- conclusion
NOTE
2 types of ideas
- main idea
- supporting idea
In OIP there’s only one idea so you can consider it the main idea of the paragraph but it’s conceptually a supporting one. Let’s write an OIP about “benefits of globalization” I can think of a single benefit that I can expend the well support it which will be the main idea of the paragraph but it’s actually a supporting idea for the main idea (benefits)
Multi idea paragraph
- One main idea (benefits of globalization)
- Multi supported ideas
- follow the framework
- Main Idea
- Supporting Idea

- Supporting Idea
- Explanation
