5. What do you mean by feedback? Let’s take a scenario. Radha is your co-worker.
Together you are making a report on how to manage the waste in your store. Since she has
not finished her part of the report on time, the whole report has got delayed and the
manager has given you both a warning. Write down the feedback you would like to give your
co-worker on managing time. Try to keep the feedback specific and polite.

Ans. Feedback is the final component and one of the most important factors in the process of
communication since it is defined as the response given by the receiver to the sender.

Feedback to Radha

You are a great asset to the team. You are very professional and focused on your work. Despite
the difficult deadlines for the report on how to manage the waste in your store, you maintain a
positive attitude. You respond to problems without getting angry or frustrated. You often stay late
working and are very conscientious of timelines and resources. Your most outstanding “value”
from what I have seen is your attitude towards continuous improvement. Whenever you have free
time I see you studying or looking over someone’s shoulder trying to troubleshoot a problem. It
would benefit the entire department if you paid more attention to the delivery time.

6. Write down the common communication barriers you may come across when you
move to a new city or country.

Ans. The common communication barriers a person may come across when move to a new city
or country are:

Physical Barriers: Physical barriers are the environmental and natural conditions that act as a
barrier in communication in sending messages from sender to receiver. For example: text
messages are often less effective than face-to-face communication.

Linguistic Barriers: The inability to communicate using a language is known as language barrier
to communication. Language barriers are the most common communication barriers, which cause
misunderstandings and misinterpretations between people. For example: slang, professional
jargon and regional colloquialisms can make communication difficult.

iInterpersonal Barriers: Barriers to interpersonal communication occur when the sender’s

message is received differently from how it was intended. It is also very difficult to communicate
with someone who is not willing to talk or express their feelings and views.

Organisational Barriers: Organisations are designed on the basis of formal hierarchical

structures that follow performance standards, rules and regulations, procedures, policies,
behavioural norms, etc. Superior-subordinate relationships in a formal organisational structure can
be a barrier to free flow of communication..

Cultural Barriers: Cultural barriers is when people of different cultures are unable to understand
each other’s customs, resulting in inconveniences and difficulties.People sometimes make
stereotypical assumptions about others based on their cultural background, this leads to difference
in opinions and can be a major barrier to effective communication.

1. Describe stress and stress management in your own words.
Ans. Stress is our emotional, mental, physical and social reaction to any perceived
demands or threats.
For example, you are too close to the exams but feel unprepared.

Stress Management is about making a plan to be able to cope effectively with daily
pressures. You have to make a suitable plan for your daily life routines so that it
would not put hard pressure on you. If you are not able to manage yourself to the
increasing pressure this will led to stress.

Our main goal is to maintain a balance between life, work, relationships, relaxation
and fun. By doing this, you are able to manage stress-related problems in your daily
life

2. List your favourite stress management technique and elaborate on why you
find it the most effective for you.

Ans. The stress management techniques are:

•Time Management - One of my favourite stress management technique and I think

this is the most important one. If we are able to manage time properly then there will
be no pressure of pending work on us.

• Physical exercise and fresh air - Doing yoga, meditation and deep breathing
exercises help in proper blood circulation and relaxes the body. Which will help to
become more active.

• Healthy diet - Eating a balanced diet, such as Dal, Roti, vegetables and fruits will
give the strength to do daily work efficiently.

• Positivity - Focussing on negative aspects of life will add more stress. Instead, learn
to look at the good things and stay positive. For example, instead of feeling upset over
scoring less in a test, try to maintain a positive attitude and look at ways to improve
the next time.

• Organising academic life - no delaying - By keeping class notes organised,

finishing in assignments on time, and keeping track of all deadlines, stress can be
reduced to a great extent.

•Sleep - A good night’s sleep for at least 7 hours helps the brain and body get
recharged to function better the next day.

•Holidays with family and friends - Going to a relative’s place, such as your
grandparents’ house or a new place during your summer vacations can help to break
from the normal routine and come back afresh.

3. What is Goal Setting?

Ans. Goal setting is a process that helps a person to decide where he wants to go in
life. This will help them to decide where to put their efforts to achieve that goal. After
deciding the goal or aim of life one can easily go through the process of achieving it.
This gives you the motivation to work hard.

4. In SMART goals, what does ‘S’ stand for? Explain.

Ans. In SMART goals ‘S’ stands for Specific goal. A specific and clear goal answers
six questions. Who is involved in the goal? What do I want to do? Where do I start?
When do I start and finish? Which means do I use? Why am I doing this? For
Example:

Not a specific goal: “I want to become a doctor.”

Specific goal: “I want to become a doctor by studying MBBS after my school gets
over. After getting my MBBS degree I will make a hospital in my village.”

5. What is the best way to work on long-term goals?

• We avoid time-wasters like chatting on the phone, surfing gossip sites, etc., and
focus on more important things.

Step-4 Track

have used our time effectively or not. It also helps us to identify time-wasting
activities.

the brand of the computer. The ENTER or the RETURN key is used to move
the cursor to the beginning of a new line. In some programs, it is used to
confirm the work which is being done.

2. How will you prevent others from using your computer?

Ans. To prevent computers from being used by unauthorized persons it must

be locked when the users are not working on it. This will ensure that no
unauthorized person can see or make changes to our information without
taking our permission. To make sure the computer is locked, the login IDs and
passwords must be created. A login ID and password is like a key to the lock
which allows the user to use the computer only if the entered login ID and
password match with the computer database. Once finished the work, the
user must log out or sign out so that no one else can see the work.

3. How is a computer file system similar to our physical file system in a

school?

Ans. In any school, each teacher has a separate cabinet where they keep the
files of different students or classes on separate shelves. Similarly,
information on a computer is stored in electronic files, which can be put into
separate folders. It is easier to manage the electronic files as they can be
simply copied, moved, renamed or even deleted.

4. What are the steps you will perform to save a text file in Ubuntu? Ans.
The steps to save a text file in Ubuntu are:
1) Click on the Save button.

5) Click on Save.

5. Explain how to clean a computer on a daily basis. Ans. The ways to

clean a computer on a daily basis are:

(i) Keyboard: Clean a keyboard with a soft brush to remove crumbs and dust
particles.

(ii) Screen: Wipe the screen with a soft cloth to remove any finger marks.

(iii) Be careful with food and drinks: Avoid eating and keeping glasses of
water or cups of coffee near a computer.

(iv) Handle devices carefully: Handle and move your laptop carefully and
avoid dropping or banging it against a hard surface.

(v) Keep the computer cool: If a computer, laptop or mobile device gets
overheated, the internal parts can be damaged. The CPU has an internal fan
to keep it cool. We should make sure the fan is functioning. Avoid leaving a
device in the sun or in a closed car. We should be careful when using a laptop
while sitting in bed and make sure that the fan is not covered.

(vi) Do not overcharge your battery: Sometimes we keep a device plugged

in for charging even after it is fully charged. If we leave the device plugged in
for a long time, it can overheat the battery. This reduces the battery life.
Always unplug the device once it is charged 100%.
(vii) Always plug in devices carefully: Any device being connected to a
laptop or computer such as a USB drive or headphones, should be done
gently. It should not be forced into the port. If you find it difficult to plug in a
device, change the direction and try instead of trying to force it in.

(viii) Do not run too many programs at a time: When too many programs
are running at the same time, the computer can become slow and even crash.
If a program/app is not being used, it should be closed so that other programs
can work smoothly.

6. How can you increase the performance of a computer? Ans. The ways
to increase the performance of a computer are:

1) Uninstall unnecessary software

2) Limit the programs at the startup

3) add more RAM to your PC

4) Check for spyware and viruses

5) Use Disk Cleanup and defragmentation

6) Consider a startup SSD

7. Explain how the Trojan Horse virus works.

Ans. A Trojan horse, or Trojan, is a type of malicious code or software that

looks legitimate but can take control of your computer. It is designed to harm
your computer without knowing you. It can steal the data, manage or change
the data by itself. This will harm your computer or network.
8. List the various ways you can use to protect your data.

Ans. The various ways to protect our data from theft and viruses are:

(a) Use passwords to log in to your computer: Use passwords that are
difficult to guess. Passwords are difficult to hack if they are a mix of small (For
example ‘a b c d’) and capital letters (For example, ‘H J E R’), numbers (For
example ‘8 7 6 5’) and special characters (For example, ’% ^ # $’). This would
prevent unauthorized people from using your computer.

(b) Install Anti-virus and Firewall: Anti-viruses and Firewalls monitor the
data coming in and out of a computer and prevent viruses from entering. Anti-
viruses can also detect and clean viruses that may have entered a computer.

(c) Encrypt Data: This is usually done by banks and companies in which
important customer information is stored. They can encrypt their entire hard
disk using the encryption feature in Windows (Bitlocker). This would force
users to use a decryption password (or key) before starting the computer thus
preventing unauthorized usage.

(d) Secure sites: Give details of your credit card or bank account only on
secure sites. See in the address bar of the browser. If the site address starts
with https://and a lock symbol, then it is safe to give your credit card and bank
details
