While reading  Read the text below and do the tasks

Not all children in are lucky to enjoy their childhood. Many of them are forced to work under inhuman conditions. Though there are laws banning child labor; still children continue to be exploited as cheap labor. It is because the authorities are unable to implement the laws meant to protect children from being engaged as laborers. Child labor results in an early dropping out from school and misery in their phase of innocence. It implies lost or deprived childhood that leads to exploitation of children in various forms: mental, physical, social, sexual and lead to delinquency later. Unfortunately, the actual number of child laborers in India goes un-detected. Children under 14 years old are forced to workingg dangerously polluted factories. They work for 9 to 10 hours at a stretch including night shifts. No wonder that a large number of child workers have sunken chests and thin bone frames which give them a fragile look. They are made to work in small rooms under inhuman conditions which include unhygienic surroundings. Most of these children come from extremely poor households. They are either school drop-outs or those who have not seen any school at all.  Government authorities and civil society organizations need to work in tandem to free children

engaged in labor under abysmal conditions. They need to be rescued from exploitative working conditions and supported with adequate education. Above all, there is a need to mobilize public opinion with an aim to bring about an effective policy initiative to abolish child labor in all its forms and punish companies who use them as laborers.

Tip Box

Writers use words such as articles (a, an, the), possessive adjectives (my, your..etc.) demonstrative adjectives (this book, those books), pronouns, synonyms, and antonyms to refer back to things already mentioned or to refer forward to things that will be mentioned. These words are called reference words. They help writers avoid repetition and create lexical and grammatical cohesion between both sentences and paragraphs. It is important to pay attention to these reference words because they help us better understand texts.  Task 1: Link the words in bold type in the text with the items they refer to.
