Vamos ler o texto abaixo e destacar as palavras repetidas?
ROBOTS 
A robot is a machine. But it is not just any machine. It is a special kind of machine. It is a
machine that moves. It follows instructions. The instructions come from a computer.
Because it is a machine, it does not make mistakes. And it does not get tired. And it never
complains. Unless you tell it to! Robots are all around us. Some robots are used to make
things. For example, robots can help make cars. Some robots are used to explore
dangerous places. For example, robots can help explore volcanoes. Some robots are used
to clean things. These robots can help vacuum your house. Some robots can even
recognize words. They can be used to help answer telephone calls. Some robots look like
humans. But most robots do not. Most robots just look like machines. Long ago, people
imagined robots. Over 2,000 years ago, a famous poet imagined robots. The poet’s name
was Homer. His robots were made of gold. They cleaned things and they made things. But
they were not real. They were imaginary. Nobody was able to make a real robot. The ×rst
real robot was made in 1961. It was called Unimate. It was used to help make cars. It
looked like a giant arm. In the future, we will have even more robots. They will do things
that we can’t do. Or they will do things that we don’t want to do. Or they will do things
that are too dangerous for us. Robots will help us ×ght ×res. They will help us ×ght wars.
They will help us ×ght sickness. They will help us discover things. They will help make life
better.
E então? Quais foram as palavras que mais se repetiram? ROBOTS, MACHINE, HELP,
THINGS. A repetição dessas palavras mostram a relevância delas para o texto. Assim,
podemos dizer que o texto fala sobre robôs, que são máquinas que nos ajudam a fazer
coisas, certo?
