thought. With a keystroke, they release their personal data into what may or may not be a secure zone. Despite what
much of the public believes, internet shopping is not safe.

B.) When a camera ash is used in a low-light environment, the subject’s eyes may appear red in the nished
photograph. What is known as “red-eye” is the result of light from the ash re ecting to the pupils of the eyes. The
phenomenon of red-eye can be lessened by using the red-eye reduction feature found in many SLR cameras. This
feature activates a lamp which shines a small light directly into the subject’s eyes. When this happens, the
diameter of the pupil is reduced, thus tightening the opening in the iris. Since a smaller pupil means a smaller host for
the re ection, the chances of red-eye occurring are greatly reduced.

Revise the given paragraph. Apply what you learned in the discussion and write the revision below.

A family is made up of parents and children. Children should always respect their
parents. Without parents, there will be no kids. Sometimes, parents don’t allow their kids to
do something. Don’t rebel. Don’t argue. Don’t resist on things parents don’t wish us to do.
Try to talk with your parents first. Problems are best solved by talking.
