A seed is planted in the soil, and with the right conditions, it begins to grow.
The seedling emerges from the soil and starts to photosynthesize.
As the plant grows, it develops roots, stems, and leaves.
The plant produces flowers, which are pollinated by insects or other means.
The flowers develop into fruits or seeds, and the cycle begins again.

The water cycle is the continuous process by which water is circulated between the Earth and the atmosphere.
Evaporation occurs when the sun heats up water in oceans, lakes, and rivers, turning it into water vapor.
The water vapor rises into the air and cools, condensing into clouds.
When the clouds become saturated with water, precipitation occurs in the form of rain or snow.
Finally, the precipitation flows back into bodies of water, where it can evaporate again and start the cycle over.

Photosynthesis occurs in specialized organelles called chloroplasts, which are present in plant cells and contain the pigment chlorophyll.
The process of photosynthesis begins when light energy from the sun is absorbed by chlorophyll and other pigments in the chloroplast.
The energy from light is then used to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen through a series of chemical reactions.
The glucose produced during photosynthesis is used by the plant as energy and building blocks for growth and development.
Oxygen is released into the atmosphere as a byproduct of photosynthesis, which is essential for the survival of most living organisms.
Strategy · how to approach PTE Reorder Paragraphs
- Read the task instructions carefully; formats that look similar often score differently.
- Answer everything: blank responses earn zero in every scoring model.
- Review your mistakes against the explanation, not just the answer key. The reasoning is what transfers to the exam.
- Practise under timed conditions; pacing is a trained skill, not a personality trait.
