In the field of text linguistics, it is widely acknowledged that in order to write a text or a text segment (such as a paragraph) as pragmatically well-formed, the text must meet the requirement of cohesion. In this essay, it will concentrate on the discourse structure in relation to presupposition, implicature and inference, to illustrate how these three elements help people to see a text as coherent, in addition includes the interpretation of a selected text (news) from a newspaper.

Be careful with the vague pronoun "it," and avoid it whenever you can, unless the antecedent for it is very evident. Your sentence which begins "In this essay, it will concentrate on the discourse structure..." should simply use "essay..." as the subject and begin "This essay will concentrate on...." The phrase "in addition includes the interpretation of a selected text (news) from a newspaper" is confusing and should be a clause. A better construction for that additional information would be to make it an independent clause. For example: "Additionally, this essay [and here you need to state why] includes an interpretation of a selected text." (At that point in the essay, it is not really important whence the selected text comes---save that for when you get to it.) Also, straight-forward wording is often much better, having a much smoother flow, than the use of pretentiously polysyllablic terminology. Overall, what you have sounds good.

My only remark is that your sentences are too long. If sentences are too long, people tend to lose track of what you started off saying!
I was also taught that sentences should be at least 3 sentences.
(I presume what you are saying is correct! I am afraid it was gobbledygook to me! However, I have had a go at redoing it so it is a little more readable:
It is widely acknowledged in the field of text linguistics that, in order to write a text as pragmatically well formed, the text must meet the requirement of cohesion. This applies not only to text but also to a text segment (such as a paragraph). This essay will concentrate on the discourse of structure, in relation to not only presupposition but also implicature and inference. These three elements will illustrate how to help people to see a text as coherent. In addition, this essay includes the interpretation of a selected text (news) from a newspaper.
(oh, and I cannot find the word 'implicature' anywhere!)
I only hope the rest of your essay is easier to write!!!

In the field of Text Linguistics, it is widely acknowledged that in order to write a well-formed text/text segment, the text must be cohesive. This essay will concentrate on the discourse structure (?) in relation to 1)presupposition, 2) implication 3)inference, to illustrate how the 3 elements assist readers to see a text as coherent. In addition, this research will include the interpretation of a selected news text from a newspaper source.
I think its quite good.

Besides the obvious misplaced modifiers and run on sentence, you do not use the "In this essay" phrase unless sometimes in an abstract or you teacher does not particular care. Here is a suggestion:
Three elements, presupposition, implication, and inference help people to see a text as coherent, including the interpretation of a selected text from a newspaper.

quote "structure in relation to presupposition, implicature and inference, to illustrate how these three elements help people to see a text as coherent, in addition includes the interpretation of a selected text (news) from a newspaper." end quote
Perhaps at the 'in addition' part, this should be a new sentence. The whole sentence seems quite long.
