2  Código: 23140 - Enunciado: Read the excerpt and replace the bold word for one that would add a
correct meaning to the paragraph: The environmental consequences of large dams are numerous
and varied, and includes direct impacts to the biological, chemical and physical properties of
rivers and riparian (or "stream-side") environments. The dam wall itself blocks fish migrations,
which in some cases and with some species completely separate spawning habitats from rearing
habitats. The dam also traps sediments, which are critical for maintaining physical processes and
habitats downstream of the dam (include the maintenance of productive deltas, barrier islands,
fertile floodplains and coastal wetlands). In addition to this, experts found that between forty
million and eighty million people have been forced to move from their homes for dams.

di�erent transitional word to complete the idea.
3  Código: 26525 - Enunciado: It is important that teachers think about the things to be taken into
consideration before selecting a material to use in class or all their e�ort will be in vain. The
situation described next exemplifies this assertion.Nate is a teacher at a private high school where
students have a high level of English proficiency. He prepared a lesson to develop their writing
skills and selected a basic, one-page curriculum vitae to work with them. A�er ten minutes of
class, however, all students finished their task and started chatting around.Based on the situation
and the applicability of the text genres in class, evaluate the assertions and the relation between

not appropriate, it happened due to its lack of complexity, not the contrary. The easiness of a task

students got frustrated with its low level of complexity and finished their task very fast.Assertions I

4  Código: 26522 - Enunciado: It is important that teachers take the context into consideration

a beginning group of 6 graders.

5  Código: 26342 - Enunciado: Introduction, development and conclusion are important elements in
the logical sequence of writing organization. Therefore, knowing how to structure these elements
is very important to the clarity of a text.Based on this, read the excerpts next:A. “So, Teaching by
principles is a book that helps teachers to build a repertoire of classroom techniques that are
firmly embedded in well-established principles of second language acquisition. Most of these
principles are treatedcomprehensively in my companion volume, Principles of language learning
and teaching […] However, Teaching by principles can be used e�ectively without its companion,
since major principles […] are summarized here in the early chapters.”B. “The use of the term
approach in the subtitle of the book signals an important characteristic of current language-
teaching pedagogy. For a significant part of the twentieth century, teacher education programs
were expected to deliver a handful of di�erent methods. […] our current foundations of language
teaching are built on numerous principles […] A principled approach to interactive language
pedagogy is one that is built on such principles.”C. “This second edition of Teaching by principles:
an interactive approach to language pedagogy synthesizes that accumulation of knowledge into a
practical, principled approach to teaching English as a second or foreign language. It is a book for
prospective and new teachers who need to learn how to walk into a classroom and e�ectively
accomplish objectives.”Resource: BROWN, D. H. Teaching by principles: an interactive approach to
language pedagogy. England: Longman, 2015.
Now, according to the introduction, development and conclusion characteristics, organize the text
in a logical order:
 a) C, B, A.
 b) B, C, A.
 c) C, A, B.
 d) A, B, C.
 e) A, C, B.
Alternativa marcada:
a) C, B, A.
Justificativa: Right answer: C, B, A.The excerpt C presents the book, showing its objectives, a
characteristic of the introduction, the excerpt B describes the characteristics of a term previously
mentioned, explaining its meaning in a deeper way, a characteristic of the development, and the
excerpt A restates the objective of the book presented, which is a characteristic of the conclusion.

6  Código: 26524 - Enunciado: Before choosing a text genre and preparing an activity to their groups

proficiency and preferences.Based on it, compare the scenarios and check the option that
identifies the one(s) in which the teacher observed all important aspects that should be
considered before selecting a text genre to be used in class. I – Youssef teaches at an expensive

7  Código: 26509 - Enunciado: As an English teacher, you can use text genres when teaching writing
to your students. However, there are some considerations you need to make before selecting the
texts or all your work can be ine�ective.Summarize the four aspects that a teacher must take into
consideration before choosing the text genre to be used with a group of students.
Resposta:
The four aspects a teacher must take into consideration are the social context the students are
placed (such as city, neighbourhood), their age (to select a text genre that is appropriate for their
maturity level), their proficiency level (so as to not select activities that might frustrate them) and
knowing the group well in order to choose the most appropriate text genre.
Justificativa: Expected answer:The answers are personal, so they may vary.The four aspects a
teacher must take into consideration are:1) the social context in which the students are placed
(such as the specificities of city, neighbourhood, school etc.).2) the age of the students (even
excellent text genre activities will, probably, not work if they do not meet the students level of
maturity).3) proficiency (it is important to choose doable activities according to the students'
proficiency or it might frustrate them).4) the group itself (the teacher must know his/her group and
choose texts genres based on the group).

Based on this technique, read the next four paragraphs about the importance of reading and
summarize them using only one sentence for each. Why is reading Important?   1) Books,
magazines and even the internet are great learning tools which require the ability to read and
understand what is read. A person who knows how to read can educate himself/herself in any area
of life he/she is interested in. We live in an age where we overflow with information, but reading is
the main way to take advantage of it.   2) Television and computer games have their place, but they
are non-thinking activities. With reading, people can go anywhere in the world, or even out of it!
We can be from royalty, or adventurers, or animals, or... The possibilities are endless.   3) Good
reading skills improve spelling. As students learn to sound out letters and words, spelling becomes
easier. Also, reading helps to expand the vocabulary. Reading new words puts them in their mind
for later use. Seeing how words are used in di�erent contexts can give a better understanding of
the word usage and its definitions rather than just the cold facts of a dictionary.   4) The power of
the ideas communicated through reading is a foundational reason why some governments oppose
free and honest communication. Illiterate people are easier to control and manipulate because
they cannot do their own research and thinking. They must rely on what they are told.

Justificativa: Expected answer: (The answers are personal, so they may vary.) 1) Reading enables
us to learn new things. 2) Reading develops our imagination. 3) Reading improves our linguistic
abilities. 4) Reading makes us hard to manipulate.
