How to Save a Wet Phone

Have you ever dropped your phone in water or spilled a drink on it? If so, you´re not alone - a third of phones
are lost because of water damage. Today I´m going to tell you how you may be able to save a wet phone.

First, you must get the phone out of the water as soon as possible. It´s important to realize that every
second it´s in the water, there are more chances that there will be more damage to repair. A . Just
rescue it immediately.

Next, you must switch the phone off straightaway to stop water damaging the electrical circuits.
B . You mustn´t switch it on to see if it´s working.

Now, wipe off any water from the outside of the phone, using some paper towels. Then, gently shake the
phone so that any water inside has a chance to come out.

After that, you need to dry out the inside of the phone as much as possible. Don´t use a hairdryer to try and
dry it quickly - the heat will do even more damage to the phone. C . So, get some uncooked rice and
put it in a plastic bag and put the phone in the middle of the rice.

After 48 hours you can take it out and try switching it on. You might be lucky and find the phone is working
perfectly!

Task A: Insert sentences/ clauses 1 to 3 in the right blank and complete the boxes with A, B or C.

1 It needs to dry out nice and slowly.

2 If it was off when it got wet, you must leave it off.

3 So, don´t stand there panicking, and shouting ‘Oh no!’

Task B: Circle T for true and F for false. Correct the false statement/s on the blank line/s below.

4 According to the writer, if water has got into your phone, you should be patient. T F

5 The writer describes an infallible way to save a wet phone. T F
