Solution
| 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! |

Summarizing is to briefly sum up the various points from the notes made from the below passage.
The Sherpas were nomadic people who first migrated from Tibet approximately 600 years ago, through the Nangpa La pass and settled in the Solukhumbu District, Nepal. These nomadic people then gradually moved westward along salt trade routes. During 14th century, Sherpa ancestors migrated from Kham. The group of people from the Kham region, east of Tibet, was called “Shyar Khamba”. The inhabitants of Shyar Khamba, were called Sherpa. Sherpa migrants travelled through Ü and Tsang, before crossing the Himalayas. According to Sherpa oral history, four groups migrated out of Solukhumbu at different times, giving rise to the four fundamental Sherpa clans: Minyagpa, Thimmi, Sertawa and Chawa. These four groups have since split into the more than 20 different clans that exist today.
Sherpas had little contact with the world beyond the mountains and they spoke their own language. AngDawa, a 76-year-old former mountaineer recalled “My first expedition was to Makalu [the world’s fifth highest mountain] with Sir Edmund Hillary’’. We were not allowed to go to the top. We wore leather boots that got really heavy when wet, and we only got a little salary, but we danced the Sherpa dance, and we were able to buy firewood and make campfires, and we spent a lot of the time dancing and singing and drinking. Today Sherpas get good pay and good equipment, but they don’t have good entertainment. My one regret is that I never got to the top of Everest. I got to the South Summit, but I never got a chance to go for the top.
The transformation began when the Sherpa Tenzing Norgay and the New Zealander Edmund Hillary scaled Everest in 1953. Edmund Hillary took efforts to build schools and health clinics to raise the living standards of the Sherpas. Thus life in Khumbu improved due to the efforts taken by Edmund Hillary and hence he was known as ‘Sherpa King’.
Sherpas working on the Everest generally tend to perish one by one, casualties of crevasse falls, avalanches, and altitude sickness. Some have simply disappeared on the mountain, never to be seen again. Apart from the bad seasons in 1922, 1970 and 2014 they do not die en masse. Sherpas carry the heaviest loads and pay the highest prices on the world’s tallest mountain. In some ways, Sherpas have benefited from the commercialization of the Everest more than any group, earning income from thousands of climbers and trekkers drawn to the mountain. While interest in climbing Everest grew gradually over the decades after the first ascent, it wasn’t until the 1990s that the economic motives of commercial guiding on Everest began. This leads to eclipse the amateur impetus of traditional mountaineering. Climbers looked after each other for the love of adventure and “the brotherhood of the rope” now are tending to mountain businesses. Sherpas have taken up jobs as guides to look after clients for a salary. Commercial guiding agencies promised any reasonably fit person a shot at Everest.
