Paragraph list

The free online heart age test asks people some basic lifestyle questions, including blood pressure, and will give an instant estimation of someone’s heart age.
Ministry of Health has created an online test in an effort to reduce the number of deaths from heart disease or stroke.
In the urban areas, 75 percent of individuals who have taken the test have a heart age that is at least one year older than their real age.
A campaign has been launched to help people find out their ‘heart age’.
Those who have a heart age higher than their real age are at an increased risk of heart attack or stroke.

First sentence: Why this is the first line? This paragraph is the first sentence because it introduces the main topic of the text, which is the campaign to help people find out their heart age. It does not refer to any previous information and sets the stage for the following sentences. This follows the rule of Topic Sentence. Why other lines are not chosen? The other paragraphs are not chosen because they do not stand alone as the first sentence. For example, Paragraph 2 starts with 'Ministry', which is a specific noun and assumes prior knowledge. Paragraph 3 starts with 'The free online heart age test', which uses 'the' and assumes prior context. Paragraph 4 starts with 'In the urban areas', which is not general and needs more context. Paragraph 5 starts with 'Those who have', which uses a pronoun that refers back to a previous idea.

Concluding sentence: Why this is the last line? This paragraph is the last sentence because it summarizes the main point of the text. It gives a clear conclusion about the risks of having a higher heart age. This follows the rule of Conclusive Words.

Paragraph pairs:

  • Pair 1 (Paragraph 1 → Paragraph 2): Paragraph 2 connects with Paragraph 1 because it explains the reason for the campaign. The word 'Ministry' shows that it is about a specific organization that supports the campaign. This follows the Logical Order rule.
