First sentence: Why this is the first line? This paragraph is the first line because it introduces the main topic of the text. It gives a clear definition of electronic skin (e-skin) and explains what it is. This follows the rule of Topic Sentence. Why other lines are not choosen? The other paragraphs are not chosen because they do not stand alone as the first sentence. For example, Paragraph 2 starts with 'A better-known', which is not independent. Paragraph 3 starts with 'Their aim', which uses a pronoun. Paragraph 4 starts with 'Developers', which does not introduce the topic. Paragraph 5 starts with 'More advanced', which is not general enough.

Concluding sentence: Why this is the last line? This paragraph is the last line because it wraps up the main ideas of the text. It gives a clear conclusion about what the developers want to do with e-skins. This follows the rule of Summary Style.
