              Task 1
              Task 1
            You will hear some tips on protecting laptops from damage.

              Hello friends! Laptops are electronic devices. You should take care of them. Here are a few
              tips to protect your laptop if water or any other liquid spills on it!

              •  Dry the outside of your laptop.
              •  Immediately open your laptop and hold it upside down.

              •  Don’t use a hair dryer on the laptop. Instead, wipe dry the wet surfaces you see with a
                 towel or an absorbent fabric.

              •  Do not attempt to power on your laptop to see if it is working. Turning it on when it is still
                 wet can badly damage the circuits.

              Task 2
            You will hear a conversation between a mother and her son, Manav about the benefits of
            the Tulsi plant.

              Mother :  Manav! What happened? Why are you still in bed?
              Manav  :  Mother,  I  was  alright  when  I  slept  last  night.  But  now  I  have  a  headache  and
                        blocked nose.
              Mother :  Oh! You seem to have caught the cold. Wait, let me give you an extract. You will
                        feel better after drinking it.
              Son (after drinking): Yes, I am feeling better. What was it?

              Mother :  It was Tulsi extract. Now, lie still and let me apply this balm on your forehead.
              Son    :  What did you apply on my forehead?
              Mother :  It’s a paste made from eucalyptus and Tulsi leaves. It helps in getting rid of headache
                        and blocked nose.
              Manav  :  That’s  interesting.  This  is  so  cooling!  My  head  is  not  aching  anymore.  Thanks,
                        mother.

              Mother :  You’re welcome, son! That’s because Tulsi helps in treating cough and cold. It also
                        cures other diseases.

              Manav  :  Really? What kind of diseases?
              Mother :  Diseases like diabetes, asthma, lung and heart problems, etc. In fact, the Tulsi leaf
                        helps us stay healthy in many ways.
              Manav  :  That’s remarkable!
