उत्तर
| Mother: | I've been hearing a lot about online shopping. Can you explain how it works? |
| Me: | Absolutely! Online shopping is like going to a store, but you do it through the Internet on your computer, tablet, or smartphone. |
| Mother: | Oh, so I don't need to go to a store physically? |
|
Me: |
Exactly. You can shop from anywhere, at any time. |
| Mother: | How do I find these websites? |
| Me: | You can search for them on the Internet. For example, if you want to buy books, you could visit a site like Amazon. |
| Mother: | What happens when I find a product I like? |
| Me: | When you find something you want to buy, you can add it to your shopping cart. It's like picking up an item in a store. |
| Mother: | Is it safe to put my credit card details on these websites? |
| Me: | It's important to shop on secure and reputable websites. Look for signs like a little padlock icon near the website address or URLs that start with "https://" – this indicates a secure connection. You can usually pay with a credit/debit card. |
| Mother: | And how do I pay? |
| Me: | Once you're ready to buy, you go to the checkout. Here, you'll enter your shipping address and payment details. |
| Mother: | Then they send the items to my house? |
| Me: | Yes, the store will ship your order to the address you provided. Shipping times can vary depending on where you live and the store's location. |
| Mother: | What if something goes wrong? Is the item damaged, or is it not what I ordered? |
| Me: | Most online stores have a return policy. You can return the product and get a refund or a replacement if there's an issue. |
| Mother: | This sounds convenient. But I'm still a bit nervous about trying it. |
| Me: | It's normal to feel that way. Maybe we can start with something small, and I'll guide you through the process. |
| Mother: | That would be great. Thank you for helping me understand this! |

Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow:
Lying in bed, Swami realized with a shudder that it was Monday morning. It looked as though only a moment ago, it had been the last period on Friday; already, Monday was here. He hoped that an earthquake would reduce the school building to dust but that my good building, Albert Mission School, had withstood similar prayers for over a hundred years now.
At nine o'clock, Swaminathan wailed, “I have a headache.”
His mother said, “Why don’t you go to school in a bullock cart?”
“So that I may be completely dead at the other end? Have you any idea what it means to be jolted in a cart?”
“Have you any important lessons today?”
“Important! Bah! That geography teacher has been teaching the same lesson for over a year now. And we have arithmetic, which means for a whole period we are going to be beaten by the teacher............ Important lessons!”
And Mother generously suggested that Swami might stay at home.
At 9:30, when he ought to have been lining up in the school prayer hall, Swami was lying on the bench in Mother’s room.
Father asked him, “Have you no school today?”
“Headache,” Swami replied,
“Nonsense! Dress up and go.”
“Headache.”
“Loaf about less on Sundays, and you will be without a headache on Monday.”
Swami knew how stubborn his father could be and changed his tactics.
“I can’t go so late to class.”
“I agree, but you’ll have to; it is your own fault. You should have asked me before deciding to stay away.”
“What will the teacher think if I go so late?”
“Tell him you had a headache, and so are late.”
“He will beat me if I say so.”
“Will he? Let us see. What is his name?”
“Mr. Samuel.”
“Does he beat the boys?”
“He is very violent, especially with boys who come late. Some days ago, a boy was made to stay on his knees for a whole period in a corner of the class because he came late, and after getting six cuts from the cane and having his ears twisted, I wouldn’t like to go late to Mr Samuel’s class.”
“If he is so violent, why not tell your headmaster about it?”
“They say that even the headmaster is afraid of him. He is such a violent man.”
And then Swami gave a lurid account of Samuel’s violence; how when he started caning, he would not stop till he saw blood on the boy’s hand, which he made the boy press to his forehead like a Vermillion marking. Swami hoped his father would be made to see that he couldn’t go to his class late. But his father’s behaviour took an unexpected turn. He became excited.
“What do these people mean by beating our children? They must be driven out of service. I will see…..”
The result was that he proposed to send Swami late to his class as a kind of challenge. He was also going to send a letter with Swami to the headmaster. No amount of protest from Swami was of any avail: Swami had to go to school.
By the time he was ready, his father had composed a long letter to the headmaster, put it in an envelope, and sealed it.
“What have you written, father?” Swaminathan asked apprehensively.
“Nothing for you. Give it to your headmaster and go to your class.”
Swami’s father did not know the truth—that, actually, Mr. Samuel was a very kind gentleman.
