About
There's a wealth of information and fun out there in the wilderness of the Internet, millions of pages that may potentially contain the information that you need.
But who can tell which pages are useful and interesting to YOU and which are not? Obviously, the answer is YOU! Only YOU know what you really need or find interesting.
Yes, there's the catch! How on earth could you go through millions of pages sifting for what you want?
Of course you could use search engines but that way it could take many minutes if not hours, and what about all those new exciting topics that you may never hear about and therefore have no chance of searching for?
Or you could visit several quality sites until you have a round-up of what is available. But there are quite a few of them out there…
Seems quite a problem, doesn't it? But if you look at it more closely, it is all a question of time and management. You could find all that is exciting to you if you were presented with a selection of the best of the Internet with a little bit of help to see if it is your cup of tea or not!
And here is where we come in: "What if we gave you just the beginning of the most promising pages from selected high-quality websites in the areas that interest you? You could then decide whether you would want to spend more time reading or seeing the rest or not! This can help you make the best of the time you spend on the net.
Have you ever noticed how the best of news writers and authors manage their pieces? They provide their readers with a rich 1st paragraph to give them a good idea of what is coming next…
Yes! Every good piece of writing starts with a good 1st paragraph! And we bring you the best 1st paragraphs in the world of news, books, entertainment, science and technology, …
And there are a few useful extras too:
Most of the items on 1stparagraph.com, come with a "Simplified English" version to make 1st paragraph universally accessible to those who know English but may not be second Shakespeares. This also serves as a very useful language learning tool for the learners of English.
And the "Relevant Links" section takes you, within a single click, to further relevant pages where you can find more information about the item you are reading. Again, no need for you to spend time searching.
Aren't these enough to make 1stparagraph.com your 1st stop of the day?
Make 1stparagraph.com your 1st stop of the day!

Puis-je écrire en Français?
Je trouve que l’idée est très bonne : donner envie de lire ou d’écouter une émission en Anglais ou dans une autre langue que l’on veut étudier. Il y a tant de choses à disposition sur Internet , des trouvailles que l’on peut partager.
Alors, voilà, je propose l’introduction du film de Woody Allen : Manhattan avec la musique de Gershwin. Et cela commence justement avec la voix d’ un écrivain qui veut écrire un premier chapitre sur sa ville…
