Read the paragraph. What do the words in bold print refer to?
The MIT is dedicated to educating students in science, technology and other areas of scholarship that will best serve the nation in the 21st century. It offers a wide range of accommodation for its students. A great deal of research is carried out by MIT’s laboratories and centers whose work extends beyond traditional departmental boundaries. This allows both undergraduate and graduate students gain all round educational experience and broaden their research horizons.
Contextual reference Pronouns and adjectives are often used to link ideas together so that the text is easier to read. In this case they refer to a word or words mentioned earlier in the sentence or paragraph.

Practice
Read the following paragraph and highlight the words in the text that refer to the words in bold.
With over 100,000 people located in a 6.5 square mile area, Cambridge, US is a unique community with a strong mix of cultural and social diversity and technological innovation. Its "Squares" are rich in various international restaurants and cafes as well as unique shopping, theatres, museums, and historic sites. Located between the academic centers of Harvard and MIT, Central Square is the seat of City government and is home to a rich variety of music clubs, book shops, restaurants and clothing stores. It’s about a 12 minute walk from Kendall Square, which is the home to MIT and the heart of Massachusetts' high tech and biotechnology industries. The main site of the MIT is located along the left bank of the Charles River. This provides a wonderful view of the Boston area. Parking in Cambridge can be expensive and hard to find. Whenever possible use public transportation to get to the MIT campus. The Tech shuttle and Safe Ride shuttle provide free transportation around the MIT. But the latter runs only on weekdays.
