Sentences of a paragraph are given below. While the first and last sentences (S1 and S6) are in the correct order, the sentences in between (P, Q, R, S) are jumbled up. Arrange them in the correct order to form a meaningful paragraph. S1: A summary is a shortened version of a letter, a report, an article, a chapter or a book, written in our own words. P: Summarising, a skill that is useful in academic and work-related situations, helps us condense long texts for future reference. Q: Further, they are useful when we do not have time to read the original texts. R: A summary that is about a third of the original is a précis. S: Summaries also enable us to check if a book or article is of relevance to a subject we are working on. S6: We read a précis because we are interested in the original but have no time to read it completely.
