This episode is a dialogue between Luisa and Allesandro about using battery power for your electronic devices. Let’s get started.
Luisa: The battery on my computer is almost out of juice.
Allesandro: Did you bring a spare?
Luisa: It’s a rechargeable battery, so instead of replacing it, I need to plug it in, but there are no outlets in here.
Allesandro: I don’t see one either.
Luisa: Forget it. I’ll just finish watching the movie on my phone.
