Introduction

The Lucy Faithfull Foundation has a new system. It helps people stop looking for illegal photos of children.

Main Body

The foundation works with Google, Meta, and TikTok. When a person searches for bad content, the computer shows a warning. This warning sends the person to a website called 'Stop It Now'. This website gives help to people. In two years, the system showed 70 million warnings. Every month, about 28,000 people went to the help website. People in 131 countries used these links. Now, AI technology is growing fast. This makes the problem bigger. The foundation says adults and tech companies must protect children.

Conclusion

The program helps many people. The foundation wants more companies to join and help.

Learning

⚡ The "S" Power

Look at these words from the text:

  • Works
  • Searches
  • Shows
  • Sends
  • Gives

The Secret: When we talk about one person or one thing (The Foundation, The Computer, A Person), we add an -s to the action word.

Example Pattern: One person →\rightarrow searches Many people →\rightarrow search

🌐 Connecting Ideas

Notice how the text uses "And" to glue things together:

  • Google, Meta, and TikTok.
  • Adults and tech companies.

Use "and" when you want to add more information to your list. It is the simplest way to make a longer sentence.
