Paragraph list

University of Otago Centre for International Health co-directors Professor Philip Hill and Professor John Crump share a view that global health is a multidisciplinary activity.
In their work – from Tanzania to the Gambia, from Myanmar to Indonesia and beyond – they tap into a wide range of expertise from across the University, including clinicians, microbiologists and molecular microbiologists, public health experts, economists and mathematicians.
They have also forged relationships and collaborations with research and aid agencies around the world.
For the past seven years Professor Philip Hill has been part of a collaborative tuberculosis research project in Indonesia, with the University of Padjadjaran in Bandung, West Java, undertaking European-Commission-funded research into the causative links between infectious and non-communicable diseases, which in this case are tuberculosis (TB) and diabetes mellitus.

First sentence: Why this is the first line? This paragraph is the first line because it introduces the main topic of global health. It is a general statement that does not need other sentences for context. It sets the stage for what follows. Why other lines are not chosen? Paragraph 2 starts with "In their work" which needs context from the first paragraph. Paragraph 3 starts with "They have also forged" which uses a pronoun that refers back to the people in Paragraph 1. Paragraph 4 starts with "For the past seven years" which indicates a time frame that needs prior information.

Concluding sentence: Why this is the last line? This paragraph is the last line because it provides a detailed example of the work done in global health. It wraps up the discussion by showing a specific project that relates to the earlier points about collaboration and expertise.

Paragraph pairs:

  • Pair 1 (Paragraph 1 → Paragraph 2): Paragraph 2 connects to Paragraph 1 because it gives examples of how the co-directors work in global health. This shows a logical order from the general idea of multidisciplinary activity to specific examples of expertise.
  • Pair 2 (Paragraph 2 → Paragraph 3): Paragraph 3 follows Paragraph 2 because it continues to explain their work. It shows how their expertise leads to relationships with other agencies. This is a logical order of ideas.
  • Pair 3 (Paragraph 3 → Paragraph 4): Paragraph 4 connects to Paragraph 3 because it gives a specific example of a collaboration mentioned in Paragraph 3. This shows a clear flow from general relationships to a specific project.
