In writing,we need to use reference word..but how to use it??maybe this can help u a little..hehehe
Using reference words
- Reference words point backwards or forwards to other words or concepts that have already
appeared in the text or are about to appear in the text.
- In the majority of cases, the word has already
occurred in the text i.e. the reference word is pointing backwards.
Example:
There are a number of distinct phases of childhood development. Broadly speaking, these are linked
to the motor, emotional and linguistic development of the child.
Here,these is a reference word pointing back tophases in the preceding sentence.
Reference words are important because they are another way you can strengthen the connections between different elements of your text and clarify the progression of ideas
