Paragraph list

Despite freezing temperatures and poor facilities, many visitors come to see the polar bears, beluga whales, caribou, Arctic foxes, and, if they’re lucky, the Northern Lights.
Churchill calls itself the ‘Polar Bear Capital of the World’, and for a good reason: the town sits right in the middle of the animals’ migration route, and the cute but deadly white bears sometimes wander into the town.
Tours to see the bears from September to November are by far the most popular attraction.
One of the few places in the north that is ‘easy’ to get to, Churchill is a 1.5-day train journey from Winnipeg.
Churchill is a major port, but eco-tourism is becoming more and more important.

First sentence: Why this is the first line? This paragraph is the first sentence because it introduces the main topic of Churchill being a place that is easy to reach. It gives a broad overview of the location and its accessibility. This follows the rule of Introduction. Why other lines are not chosen? The other paragraphs are not chosen because they do not stand alone. For example, Paragraph 2 starts with 'Churchill' which assumes prior knowledge. Paragraph 3 starts with 'Despite' which is a conjunction. Paragraph 4 uses 'the' which assumes prior knowledge of 'the town'. Paragraph 5 starts with 'Tours' which needs context from earlier sentences.

Concluding sentence: Why this is the last line? This paragraph is the last sentence because it summarizes the main point about the popularity of tours in Churchill. It brings together the earlier points about eco-tourism and the attractions of the town.

  • Pair 4 (Paragraph 4 → Paragraph 5): Paragraph 5 connects to Paragraph 4 because it gives more detail about the attraction of the bears. It uses the Logical Order strategy, as it follows the explanation of why Churchill is important with the specific tours that people take.
