Understanding reference
Good writers don’t repeat the same words all the time. They use other words to talk about the same people 
or things. We call this: reference.
First find the words on the left in the text, then match them with the words they are referring to on the right. 
Be careful – sometimes the people or things they refer to are in a paragraph before.
