The optical viewfinder is what you look through to take a picture with a camera. However, digital cameras have LCD panels that can display what you are about to photograph. The electronic flash allows you to take photos in the dark and the zoom lens lets you move towards or away from the subject by simply adjusting the zoom control. The memory card slot holds the card on which all your pictures are stored and the power is supplied by batteries stored in the battery compartment. The control buttons on the top of the camera are used to take the photos and to turn the camera on and off.

I think the article is about a photographer who takes photos of the poorest areas in the world and then he exhibits his work in public places so that people might become more aware of the suffering people are going through.

1 If the whole world were listening, I would tell everyone that we have to do more to help poor people.
2 If I could change one thing about myself, I would choose to become more patient.

4 If I travel abroad, I will go somewhere sunny.
During my day accompanying Kaid Ashton while he worked, I saw him take photographs of people in the most poverty-stricken parts of the city. We were in the poorest and most dangerous parts of Manila. We met many young children from the slums. Afterwards, we developed the photos and made them into posters. Then we went to the busy shopping streets where the designer boutiques were and Kaid pasted prints of the photos onto the walls. Some places were difficult to reach, so I held onto him at times so he wouldn’t fall. In the afternoon, I watched Kaid as he taught a group of poor children how to create art. He really wants to help these people have a better quality of life.
