What is a paragraph
A Paragraph should have three parts. These are the topic sentence, the
supporting sentence and the concluding sentence.
Most paragraphs have three parts :
1. The first part is the topic sentence which states the main idea of the paragraph. 2. The second part is the body of the paragraph which supports the topic sentence with details. 3. The last part is the concluding sentence which restates the topic of the paragraph.

There are three reasons why Canada is one of the best countries in the world. First, Canada has an excellent health care system. All Canadians have access to medical services at a reasonable price. Second, Canada has a high standard of education. Students are taught by well-trained teachers and are encouraged to continue studying at university. Finally, Canada's cities are clean and efficiently managed. Canadian cities have many parks and lots of space for people to live. As a result, Canada is a desirable place to live.
