Re- order paragraph is one of the PTE reading tasks,

and it looks like this ...

You will see a paragraph that has been jumbled up.

Your task is to put the paragraph back together again

into the correct sentence sequence.

Tip 1: Find the independent sentence first

The first thing you need to do when you see the sentences

is ask yourself: Which of these sentences is independent?

Which one stands alone?

Which one doesn't refer back to any other sentence?

If you cannot find the first sentence, then you're in trouble.

Only if you find the independent sentence first

can you then sequence the rest of the sentences correctly.

Tip 2: Use grammar to help you sequence the paragraph

Scattered throughout the sentences are grammatical words

which refer back to other words.

For example words like: "this"

"these"

"that"

"those"

or articles like: "a"

"the"

These words will help you put the sentences back together.

Ultimately though, it's about meaning.

The paragraphs should flow from sentence to sentence

and make complete sense.
