    Part 3: Translation

    Translate the following passage into Urdu.

    People used to count on their fingers. This is why we use the numbers one to ten when we count. The
    abacus, the first counting machine, was invented in China about 5,000 years ago. If we count out a pile
    of beads, we group them into units, tens and hundreds. On the abacus, beads are placed on wires. Ten
    beads in the units line can be replaced by one bead in the tens line, while one bead in the hundreds
    line will take the place of ten beads in the tens line. In this way the abacus helps us to count and store
    the results.

    A computer works so quickly and efficiently that it seems to have magical powers! In fact, it is just a
    machine that only does what it is told to do. Instructions must always be simple. If we had to work out
    long and difficult calculations, we could spend a whole day doing it and would probably grow tired and
    bored. We might also make mistakes. We could spend the rest of our lives doing work that computers
    can do in a few seconds.
