The excerpts from Swami's daily activities are:
1. To walk through a waterlogged area, Swami shortens the length of his dress by folding it. This is a reversible change because swami can unfold his dress so the change can be undone.
2. In school, he drew an apple in his slate with chalk. This is a reversible change because Swami can erase the apple drawn on the slate so the change can be undone.
3. After school, he came directly back to his home and started playing with his new toy. But accidently it broke. This is irreversible change because once a toy is broken it can't be mended back to look same so the change cannot be undone.
4. At night, his mother cooked food for him. He ate and then retires to bed. This is irreversible change because once a food is cooked and eaten it cannot be same as it was before.
