First sentence: Why this is the first line? This paragraph is the first sentence because it introduces the main topic of the text, which is about the journey of learning the piano. It does not refer to any previous information and sets the stage for the rest of the text. This follows the rule of Topic Sentence. Why other lines are not chosen? The other paragraphs are not chosen because they do not stand alone. For example, Paragraph 2 starts with "The most challenging yet rewarding part..." which needs context. Paragraph 3 starts with "To solidify my learning..." which also needs context. Paragraph 4 starts with "After several months..." which assumes prior knowledge of the journey.

Concluding sentence: Why this is the last line? This paragraph is the last sentence because it wraps up the story of learning the piano. It shows the result of the journey and reflects on the achievement. This follows the Summary Style rule, as it brings together the earlier points of learning and practicing.
