Re-order Paragraphs
Arrange the sentences into the correct order.
Put the sentences in the correct order:
- By keeping objects in use rather than in landfill, repair cafes quietly resist a culture in which replacing something broken is almost always easier than mending it.
- Even in these cases, though, visitors often leave having learned something about how the device works, which organisers consider just as valuable as the repair itself.
- When a repair proves impossible, perhaps because a part is no longer manufactured, the volunteer will usually say so honestly rather than charge for a fix that will not last.
- A typical session works on a simple queue system: visitors bring in a toaster, a lamp, or a torn jacket, and a volunteer sits down with them to diagnose the fault together rather than simply taking the item away.
- A repair cafe is a community event, usually held monthly in a church hall or community centre, where volunteers with technical skills help neighbours fix broken household items free of charge.
