Re-order Paragraphs

Arrange the sentences into the correct order.

Put the sentences in the correct order:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
