Should children watch toy unboxing videos?
Children around the world are currently trying to decide which toys
to put on their Christmas list. Some browse catalogues for
inspiration or look in toy shops and watch TV adverts, while others
are turning to toy unboxing videos to make up their minds. What
is the appeal of these videos, and are they in any way harmful?
For nine-year-old Verity, the unboxing videos have been a great
way to work out which toys she really wants this Christmas. In
these videos, children, or in some cases just a pair of hands, take
toys out of their packaging and play with them.
Verity particularly likes watching Shopkins, Lego and Harry Potter
toys being opened on YouTube, which is the main platform for this
type of content. "It gives you more information than just seeing an
advert. It's more interesting because these videos give you more
details about how something works and then they show you how
it works."
Verity, who lives in St Albans in Hertfordshire, also likes to make
her own videos, but only for family and friends to watch. "I don't
want everybody to see them because they might make fun of them
and make bad comments," she says. "People can be mean."

Read the fragment below.
“The Referential Function is the one most commonly addressed in ESL/EFL settings because it concerns descriptions or contextual information. According to Holenstein (1974) it “dominates ordinary discourse [because we] designate objects and bestow them with meaning” (p.156). The most common topics addressed in beginning ESL/EFL course materials concern the surrounding environment (e.g., classroom objects and procedures, asking for or giving directions) or describing actions in physical or chronological context (e.g. daily routine, telling time.).” (Tribus, Angela C., 2017)
Analyzing the Referential Function as applied on the context above, it is correct to affirm that:

What life might be like in alien oceans.
Recent discoveries have led astrobiologists to think that moons are the most promising places for alien
life to exist in our Solar System. And now several major space missions are being planned over the next
decade to search for hints of life there.
Unlike our neighbouring planets, some of the moons have plenty of liquid water. Jupiter’s moon, Europa,
for example, is thought to contain more liquid water than all of Earth's oceans combined. This water –
and any life in it – is protected from space radiation and asteroid impacts by a thick layer of kilometersdeep surface ice.
The discovery of plumes of water shooting up from Saturn’s moon Enceladus and Europa have suggested
they could have warm interiors that can support liquid oceans, heated not by the Sun, but by an internal
dynamo powered by radioactive decay in their cores or by tidal heating generated by the gravitational
attraction of the planets that they orbit.
There is now evidence for water oceans on several moons, including Europa, Enceladus, Callisto and
Ganymede. One study published this June estimates that the Enceladus ocean is around one billion years
old. Others have suggested it may be billions of years old – plenty of time for life to evolve.
