10 PTE Reorder Paragraph Tips and Techniques

1. Identify topic sentences: Look for the main idea to anchor your understanding.

[{"selector":"#anim-b00f3d03-80aa-4ee9-a0e3-e8ac8fa7440f","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":450,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-3291db3e-c8a4-4e12-a72d-e4f1141bdc38","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-122.02797%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":450,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

2. Scan for transitions: Find clues like "however," "moreover," etc., for order hints.

[{"selector":"#anim-8ba44025-0294-410c-9b8f-aa888bb69ad5","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":450,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-fda1cfb8-dcce-4dc4-a27d-11938e86d5ee","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-122.02797%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":450,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

3. Logical sequence: Arrange sentences based on chronological or cause-effect logic.

[{"selector":"#anim-d88fdd49-ca8a-416f-b0dd-b20de6cdf2a1","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":450,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-6de1a3cb-5f86-4236-a8d1-f782cecd6b8a","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-122.02797%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":450,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

4. Understand context: Grasp the paragraph's theme to reorder effectively.

[{"selector":"#anim-9e4f3e83-b19b-4e78-892c-7288a0872268","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":450,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-35301d88-f4cf-47ab-8373-c5ae39c57850","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-122.02797%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":450,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

5. Focus on pronouns: Use pronoun references to link sentences cohesively.

[{"selector":"#anim-b263065f-dd89-454e-b084-67544fdc932a","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":450,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-411c80df-4d5a-40e1-b28d-6823a6d46bbc","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-122.02797%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":450,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

6. Eliminate redundancy: Remove repetitive ideas to streamline the paragraph.

[{"selector":"#anim-56758d6b-cc66-4183-83a3-1ff9a077df77","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":450,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-8938ae57-f6c9-4310-bf55-e4efc9762495","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-122.02797%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":450,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

7. Check for parallelism: Ensure consistency in sentence structure for clarity.

[{"selector":"#anim-34962eaa-304c-475c-8130-a60917804ac0","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":450,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-26bd4ffb-4ce1-4306-9943-9d7072fd6e18","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-122.02797%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":450,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

8. Consider verb tenses: Maintain coherence by aligning past, present, or future tenses.

[{"selector":"#anim-a02e3cf6-a499-42cd-812e-83231fc45a43","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":450,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-590d3e9c-8898-4049-838f-8961dae025fd","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-122.02797%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":450,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

9. Use contextual clues: Pay attention to keywords or phrases that signal order.

[{"selector":"#anim-023b8fb5-3ba9-4b0d-9940-9a338eea7ddb","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":450,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-27e88909-4a29-49f3-81a9-516e5ed24faf","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-122.02797%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":450,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

10. Read aloud: Confirm coherence and flow by listening to the paragraph's rhythm.

[{"selector":"#anim-ffed4ba8-f797-48b6-ad5f-88a0c7f5f3d5","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":450,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-eb08c823-3ed3-47a8-a0b5-bf48c73889d0","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-122.02797%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":450,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]
