🐋 Taking a deep dive into cohesion in my "Writing with New Scientist" class 🐋

I don't normally bore my students with much theory. Instead, we look at examples and put patterns into practice.

So let's look at this example from the article we read: "If managed carefully, blue foods have a lot of room for sustainable growth."

You might think, "We'll what's so special here? What exactly are we looking at? It's a simple sentence."

OK. The first thing to look at is "If managed." This is a reduced form of "if they are managed." It's already beautiful, but the cherry on top is that the hidden "they" is a cataphoric reference to "blue foods." Now, isn't this the most beautiful thing you've seen today? 💙

Looking is not enough, though. We need to practice this beauty now. So finish one or both of the sentences below and type your answers in the comments:
1️⃣ If managed carefully, …
2️⃣ If done on a regular basis, …
