B. In the text above some words have been written in italics. Once you have read it, can<br />
you say what those words in italics refer <strong>to</strong>? For example:<br />
a) the natives (lines 1-2): the inhabitants of <strong>New</strong> <strong>York</strong><br />
b) them (line 2): the sights <strong>to</strong> see in <strong>New</strong> <strong>York</strong><br />
c)<br />
d)<br />
e) …<br />
Words like each, its, this, etc. make connections between<br />
different parts of a text. Sometimes they may refer <strong>to</strong> a word,<br />
phrase, etc. which is “far away”. Other times the connection is<br />
not so evident, and one of the words may be an example, an<br />
illustration, etc. of something that has been said previously or<br />
that will be said later.<br />
C. Below there is a text 29 about the Big Apple Greeters 30 , an organisation of volunteers<br />
