Paragraph list

Humans appear to be the only species which is able to translate their communication into another medium, and in this case the medium provides a semi-durable record of the elements of the communication.
Reading also is special because, unlike language, most children have to be taught to read, write and spell.
So though we may be predisposed to being able to read and usually have the abilities necessary to master reading, it is something that most of us only accomplish through the direct help of others.
So reading is a very special ability that we have.

First sentence: Why this is the first line? This paragraph is the first line because it introduces the main topic about human communication. It does not refer to any previous information. It sets the stage for the discussion about reading. Why other lines are not choosen? Paragraph 2 starts with "So" which is a conjunction, so it cannot be independent. Paragraph 3 also starts with "So" and uses a pronoun "we" which refers back to something not mentioned before. Paragraph 4 starts with "So" and uses the definite article "the" which assumes prior knowledge.

Concluding sentence: Why this is the last line? This paragraph is the last line because it wraps up the discussion about reading. It shows that even if we have the ability, we still need help to read. This gives a final thought on the topic.

Paragraph pairs:

  • Pair 1 (Paragraph 1 → Paragraph 2): Paragraph 2 connects with Paragraph 1 because it continues the idea of special abilities. The phrase "So reading is a very special ability" shows a logical flow from the first paragraph.
  • Pair 2 (Paragraph 2 → Paragraph 3): Paragraph 3 connects with Paragraph 2 because it gives more details about reading. The word "because" shows that it explains why reading is special.
  • Pair 3 (Paragraph 3 → Paragraph 4): Paragraph 4 connects with Paragraph 3 because it talks about the help needed to read. The word "So" shows a continuation of the thought about reading.
