Paragraph list

The sender or source, receiver and message comprise the most basic elements of this, whilst the medium is the transmission mode.
Once the message has been successfully conveyed, received and comprehended, direct feedback (a written or spoken reply) or indirect feedback (an action response) occurs.
Every day, individuals in society engage in a number of exchanges of information which may take the form of actual conversations, text messages, emaiIs or chats on social media platforms.
When this exchange occurs between two or more people, it is called the 'communication process’.

First sentence: Why this is the first line? This paragraph is the first sentence because it introduces the main topic of communication in daily life. It gives a broad overview of how people share information. It does not refer to any previous ideas or use specific terms that need context. Why other lines are not chosen? Paragraph 2 starts with 'When this exchange occurs', which needs context from a previous sentence. Paragraph 3 starts with 'The sender or source', which assumes prior knowledge of the topic. Paragraph 4 starts with 'Once the message has been', which also needs context. All these sentences do not stand alone.

Concluding sentence: Why this is the last line? This paragraph is the last sentence because it wraps up the discussion about communication. It shows the result of the communication process, which is feedback. It summarizes the main points made in the previous paragraphs.
