Child labour is an ongoing thing in the current world. Many components in our phones are made from materials harvested by children and underpaid workers. This is an issue that has been brought up more and more throughout the years, but the issue has yet to be solved.
Children are dying across the world from inhaling harmful odours, getting trapped in unsecured mines and getting beaten by the staff.
The issue of child labour and indecent work environment is discussed in the article "TECH TRAUMA Is YOUR phone made by £2-a-day child slaves who are plied with weed, maimed and even crushed to death in mines?" written by Sophie Jane Evans and Samantha Brick, which was published in The Sun on 18 December 2019.

Uddrag
The circumstance in this text is an article published on a news website “The Sun” with the intention of educating the audience of what really happens behind the scenes of child labour.
The writers are hoping to reach a larger audience who is sharing the same stance regarding the topic with the use of Pathos, to provoke the readers thoughts with the alarmingly detailed stories of the vulnerable chil-dren.
The general language in the text is both formal and informal, the reason being, the use of contrac-tions from time to time on words such as "didn't, she'd, wasn't etc."
The length of sentences varies from long to short, but since the genre is an article, the sentences are fairly long.
The language is also formal because the writers use words with a higher readability index, longer sentences such as "We are committed to sourcing all materials ethically" and "where they spend hours crouching in pitch-black, narrow passages."
