1. Look at the pictures and explain the difference between cling on to and hold on to.
2. Why do you think the author has chosen to use cling on to at the beginning of the article?

Cling on to means to hold on tightly, often because you are afraid of falling or losing something. It usually suggests a stronger, more desperate action.

Hold on to means to keep holding something or not let it go. It is more neutral and does not usually express fear or urgency.

The author has chosen cling on to at the beginning of the article because it creates a stronger image and shows that the person is holding on very tightly, as if in a difficult or dangerous situation.
