Paragraph list

Whether this will change is a point of contention for the industry.
This is in order to ensure that the technology only serves to enable the athletes to reach their full physical potential and not to enhance their performance.
An effective way to control joints is with electronic systems that move in response to sensors within the prosthesis, and bionic limbs are already helping disabled people to lead more active lives than ever before.
When it comes to competitive sport, however, this technology poses a problem as the Paralympics currently prohibits prostheses that move artificially.

First sentence: Why this is the first line? This paragraph is the first line because it introduces the main topic of the text. It talks about how electronic systems help control joints and how bionic limbs help disabled people. This is a broad overview of the subject. Why other lines are not chosen? Paragraph 2 starts with "When it comes to competitive sport," which makes it dependent on prior context. Paragraph 3 starts with "This is in order to ensure," which also needs context. Paragraph 4 starts with "Whether this will change," which is not a general statement and needs more information.

Concluding sentence: Why this is the last line? This paragraph is the last line because it wraps up the discussion. It talks about the debate on whether the rules will change. This gives a final thought on the topic.

Paragraph pairs:

  • Pair 1 (Paragraph 1 → Paragraph 2): Paragraph 2 connects to Paragraph 1 because it talks about a problem with the technology mentioned in Paragraph 1. The word "however" shows a contrast between the benefits of bionic limbs and the issues in competitive sports.
