ENGLISH FROM ZERO
Preface
English From Zero is a project created to benefit 
undergraduate students at the Federal University of Amazonas. 
The project concerns a free English course, parallel to the 
regular classes. For those who have been enrolled at Project 
SUPER and want to access original materials, get in 
technological fields, participate in interchange programs, 
international events or be in contact with people from other 
countries, learning English is a way to break barriers oversea 
and a great possibility of developing language skills while they 
are in college. This is a textbook produced by a group of Letras 
(English Language and Literature) students, under the 
supervision of language teaching specialists from UFAM, with 
the main purpose of involving a great number of pupils from 
different fields to learn English in a short period of time, using a 
specific book produced in UFAM to UFAM.
- Introduction to the studying of English as Foreign Language
Book 1 in a series of three textbooks.
- Tatiana Bermond & Edith Corrêa
Welcome to English From Zero – SUPER!

What is your favorite way to travel to another place? By plane? It is certainly faster. 
By car? It is slower, but you can enjoy the view. By motorcycle? It can be really fun! 
What if I told you that in the middle of the Amazon there are some places that you can 
only travel by rabeta? 
 Rabeta is a type of transportation similar to a canoe but with an engineering motor 
coupled. The rabeta is a fundamental part of the daily lives of the ribeirinhos, who are 
the people that live in the banks of the river.
Even though the rabeta is an essential part of the ribeirinhos’ life, the engineering 
motor can be expensive and not all the ribeirinhos are able to afford one. Even so, the 
rabeta is extremely important so communities all over the Amazon can have access to 
medications and vaccines. The rabeta can be frightening, but with an experient sailor 
it’s a safe transportation. Would you be brave enough to travel by rabeta?
8. Answer the questions below:
a) How many means of transportation are mentioned in the text?
b) What is rabeta?
c) Why rabeta is extremely important to the ribeirinhos?

After graduation, Pedro is going to begin his career as a software engineer at a tech 
company he’s thrilled about. He’s going to apply the skills he has learned during his degree 
to develop new apps, which he’s really passionate about. In the future, Pedro is considering

With his hard-earned diploma and strong ambition, I’m sure he’s going to achieve great 
success in his field!

It’s used to ask questions about the frequency of an event.
• How often do you go grocery shopping? 
• How often does he go to the dentist?
• How often does she go to college?
We use some adverbs to describe how frequently we do 
an activity.
• I never get up at 7:00 AM. (0%)
• She sometimes rides a bike to go to college. (50%)
• They often play games. (70%)
• He always works out at night. (100%)
“Often” is usually 
pronounced with a silent 
"t": /ɔf·ən/

Verbs in the present tense follow very simple rules. The only change that is made to these 
verbs is in the 3rd person – for he, she or it. In most cases we just add “s” to the verb, in others:
In the interrogative and
negative statements of the
Simple Present, we make use
of the auxiliar “does”. For
that reason, the main verb
goes back to its infinitive.
