UNIVERSIDADE FEDERAL DE JUIZ DE FORA PROJETO DE UNIVERSALIZAÇÃO DE LÍNGUAS ESTRANGEIRAS DISCIPLINA: INGLÊS INSTRUMENTAL II BOLSISTA: BRENO AZEVEDO CURZIO (brenocurzio@hotmail.com) 7 Netflix Tricks You Just Can’t Live Without One of the main reasons Netflix is so popular is because of its simplicity. It’s painfully easy to queue up a movie on your laptop, video game console or mobile device and start watching in mere seconds. But that simplicity means there are a lot of features to Netflix that the average customer may not be using. Here, we’ve rounded up some useful tips to help you get the most out of Netflix: See What Movies Are Coming and Going Netflix’s lineup of movies and TV shows is constantly changing as the company gains and loses licensing rights for different content. Sites like Instant Watcher and What’s New On Netflix offer a daily rundown of new releases on the streaming service. Finding out when movies are going to be removed is a little trickier, because Netflix has purposefully obscured that information. However, the site Now Streaming updates regularly with lists of movies that will soon be going offline. Get Better Search Options Search options on Netflix are fairly limited, which can make it hard to find quality movies from the service’s vast amount of content. Sites like Instant Watcher let you filter options by parameters such as year released as well as rating on Netflix and Rotten Tomatoes. And if your favorite movie isn’t on Netflix right now, you can use Can I Stream It or WhereToWatch to find out where else a film might be available to stream legally online. Use Your Phone As a Remote On the PlayStation 3, customers can use their phone or tablet to control Netflix instead of a video game controller. First, make sure your mobile device and your PS3 are connected to the same Wi-Fi network. Then boot up the Netflix app on both devices, and your phone or tablet can be used to control the movie playing on the big screen. Get Smarter Recommendations Netflix prides itself on its algorithms that are supposed to serve up content you’ll love that you didn’t even know you wanted. But the process only works if you feed the company a lot of info about what you enjoy. Rate movies regularly to get more precise recommendations, and don’t forget to fill out your taste preferences in your account settings. You can access the taste preferences list by selecting the “Your Account” option on the Web-based version of Netflix. Change Subtitles Tired of Netflix’s signature yellow subtitles? You can choose among eight different text colors as well as a background color to place behind the text. The font and text size can also be adjusted. The options are available in the “Your Account” settings on the Web version of Netflix. Eliminate Buffering There’s no bigger buzzkill during a exciting movie than being hit with a buffering screen. Netflix has a hidden menu to help you banish buffering. Press Shift + Alt + Left Click while streaming a show to bring up a diagnostic screen. Click “Screen Manager,” then select the “Manual” checkbox to alter the stream’s bit rate. A lower number will lower the image quality of the program but will also allow you to watch on a slower connection without constant interruptions Erase Your Viewing History You couldn’t resist and watched that terrible show for five hours one rainy Sunday afternoon. It’s OK—no one ever has to know. Netflix will let you see a log of your viewing history and wipe specific items from the record books across all devices. Simply go to the “Your Account” option in the settings menu, click “Viewing Activity” and click the X on any shows you want to erase. Then you can go on watching trashy reality TV with impunity. A.

GRAMMAR #1 Observe as palavras destacadas nas orações abaixo: “Finding out when movies are going to be removed(…)” “(…)lists of movies that will soon be going offline(…)” “Netflix will let you see a log of your viewing(…)” O Futuro Simples é a forma verbal comumente usada para expressar eventos que ainda não aconteceram. É formado com o will + o infinitivo do verbo principal (sem to) para todas as pessoas, ou seja, este tempo verbal não sofre nenhuma flexão para expressar o futuro. Observe as formas e os usos deste tempo verbal: - AFFIRMATIVE FORM / FORMA AFIRMATIVA: I will wait for you in front of the College. They will help us when they have a time. She will only be at home next month. - NEGATIVE FORM / FORMA NEGATIVA: a forma negativa do Simple Future forma-se acrescentando not após o auxiliar modal will. O verbo principal permanece no infinitivo, sem to. Rachel won't come. I think it will not rain in the day of your marriage. He won't go with us. I will not celebrate my birthday next year. FUTURO SIMPLES - SIMPLE FUTURE - INTERROGATIVE FORM / FORMA INTERROGATIVA: na forma interrogativa do Simple Future, o auxiliar modal will posiciona-se antes do sujeito. O verbo principal permanece no infinitivo, sem to. Will he travel abroad? Where will you spend your vacation? Usos: 1. Falar de ações que ainda não ocorreram e que ocorrerão em um futuro não-imediato: He's sure his team will win the championship. Penelope is a good student. She'll pass the exam. 2. Expressar ações que se completarão no futuro: John will work in New York next year. Cars will be more economical in the future. 3. Expressar decisões tomadas no momento da fala: The phone is ringing. I'll answer it! 4. O Simple Future também pode ser usado para fazer um pedido a alguém, dando um tom polido e bastante educado:Will you close the door, please? Will you bring me my coat, please? Will you please take my suitcase to my room? Going to é usado para expressar um futuro próximo, algo que, com certeza, está prestes a acontecer ou que temos a intenção de fazer. Na Língua Inglesa, assim como no Português, pouco usamos o futuro do presente (consertará, levará, irá, trará, etc), que corresponde ao Simple Future. Na maioria das vezes damos preferência à construção vou consertar, vou levar, etc. Essa construção se faz, no Inglês, com o Going to. - AFFIRMATIVE FORM / FORMA AFIRMATIVA: a forma afirmativa desta estrutura verbal é formada por going to seguido do infinitivo do verbo principal, sem to. O verbo to be serve como auxiliar e se posiciona após o sujeito: We are going to spend our vacation in Paris. My mother is going to take me to the school today. I'm going to call you tonight. I'm going to have a shower before having dinner. GOING TO - NEGATIVE FORM / FORMA NEGATIVA: na forma negativa, coloca-se not entre o verbo to be e going to: I'm not going to talk to you until you apologize for what you have done. They are not going to come. I'm not going to have any difficulty to do that. - INTERROGATIVE FORM / FORMA INTERROGATIVA: na forma interrogativa de going to, o verbo to be se posiciona antes do sujeito. Are they going to help us? What are you going to do next weekend? Is she going to have a baby? Is he going to stay here? Usos: 1. Expressar intenção de fazer alguma coisa: I'm going to eat less to try to lose weight. I'm going to go for a walk. 2. Falar de planos para o futuro: He is going to be an engineer when he grows up. Philip is going to be engaged next month. When I leave high school, I'm going to study architecture. 3. Expressar uma ação que irá ocorrer num futuro próximo: What are you going to do tonight? She is going to talk to you in a few minutes. It is going to rain by the end of the day. Observação: a forma going to, geralmente, é seguida de advérbios de tempo, como next week; next month; next year; in a week; tomorrow; in a month; in a year; today; tonight; tomorrow, etc. Em muitos casos podemos usar tanto will quanto going to exatamente com o mesmo sentido. Porém, se nos referirmos a algo que irá acontecer muito em breve, geralmente optamos pela forma going to. Outra distinção entre will e going to refere-se ao planejamento prévio ou não da ação. Will é usado quando a pessoa que fala decide, no momento em que fala, fazer alguma coisa no futuro, ou seja, não houve planejamento prévio. No entanto, se a decisão já havia sido tomada, emprega-se going to. WILL OU GOING TO? Exercises: A. Complete as frases abaixo com will ou going to: 1. I feel dreadful.

As reported in the Inquisitr, after a series of coordinated terror attacks across Paris on November 13 that claimed the lives of 130 people, including an attack on the Bataclan concert hall where the band Eagles of Death Metal were playing, the band Foo Fighters canceled their Paris tour and Irish band U2 postponed their two appearances in the city. At the time, U2 lead singer Bono called the incident a “direct hit on music.” Bono pointed out at the time that if you think about it, most of the victims were music fans. “This is the first direct hit on music that we’ve had in this so-called War on Terror. And it’s very upsetting.” As reported by Entertainment Weekly, at the time of the attacks U2 postponed its November 14 and 15 performances, promising to reschedule to “honor the commitment to their audience.” The performance on November 14 was set to be filmed for an HBO special. The Irish band now says they will be appearing in Paris on December 6 and 7. Reportedly the second date is set to be filmed for HBO’s iNNOCENCE +eXPERIENCE LIVE IN PARIS special.
