2  Código: 29499 - Enunciado: Read the following paragraph. "For anyone who is really concerned about keeping their thoughts private there is only
one piece of reliable technology: write with a pen on paper, and burn what youʼve written when youʼre done. For the rest of us, who want to get
things done, there is an inevitable trade-o which we still donʼt entirely understand. We now carry with us everywhere devices that give us access to
all the worldʼs information, but they can also o er almost all the world vast quantities of information about us. The sense of personal integrity and
boundaries that seems self-evident is actually the product of particular social arrangements which are profoundly a ected by technology even
though it doesnʼt determine them. Technological change could move us towards our better selves or our worse ones, but things canʼt stay as they
are." (The Guardian. Avaiable on: <https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2017/jan/13/the-guardian-view-on-internet-privacy-technology-

supporting ideas, ignoring words you don't understand and finding keywords related to the topic — not depending on the words present in the text
— to get the central message. It is by applying the skimming strategy that we can a irm the main idea is 'There is no privacy on the internet'. The
main idea of the text is NOT only one short topic they've covered. It must be the central idea which all sentences support. Distractors:Promoting the
use of pens and paper, people's carrying devices everywhere, we don't entirely understand this trade-o and things can't stay the way they are — are
