LEITURA E REDAÇÃO EM LÍNGUA INGLESA
5a aula
	1a Questão
	
	
	
	Qual das opções abaixo NÃO representa uma característica dos gêneros textuais?
	
	
	A specific communicative function
	 
	A specific layout
	 
	A specific verb tense
	
	A specific vocabulary
	
	A specific grammatical structure
	
Explicação:
Gêneros textuais podem ser entendidos como sistemas discursivos complexos, socialmente construídos pela linguagem, com padrões de organização facilmente identificáveis, e configurados pelo contexto sócio-histórico que engendra as atividades comunicativas.
Temos dois conhecimentos específicos de modelo textual: a) um conhecimento fundado em características textuais - aspectos léxicos, prosódicos, sintáticos e outros; b) conhecimento de modelos funcionais - que dizem respeito à função para a qual se destina o texto e considerando aspectos discursivos, socioculturais; rotinas em sentido estrito.

	 2a Questão
	
	
	
	
	Which alternative DOES NOT suit an instructive text? Instructive texts sometimes:
	
	 
	Use diagrams or pictures to help understanding.
	
	Use 'must' and 'must not'.
	
	Use direct language and unnecessary words are left out
	 
	Use verbs in the past, placed at the beginning of the sentence, that tell you to do something;
	
	Use numbered or bulleted points
	
Explicação:
Instructive text (injunctive) - give orders and directions.
So, they use diagrams and pictures, use direct language (verbs in the imperative), use 'must' and 'must not'.
	
	
	 
	
	 3a Questão
	
	
	
	
	When reading something, it helps to know what type of text it is. It also helps to know why it has been written.
►Which alternative DOES NOT correspond to the purpose of the text in each situation?
	
	
	A car manual might instruct you how to do something to your car.
	 
	A manual might try to persuade you to buy something.
	
	A novel might describe somewhere or someone to you.
	
	A leaflet that comes with a piece of furniture tells you how to put it together or take care of it.
	
	A letter from school might inform you about something.
	
Explicação:
Directive texts are concerned with concrete future activity. Central to these texts are imperatives (Hand me the paper) or forms which substitute for them, such as polite questions (Would you hand me the paper?) or suggestive remarks (I wonder what the paper says about the weather). A manual is an example of injunctive text.
	
	
	 
	
	 4a Questão
	
	
	
	
	De acordo com o texto, assinale a alternativa que revela qual foi a maior descoberta do estudo em questão sobre o aquecimento global: The world's oceans have warmed 50 percent faster over the last 40 years than previously thought due to climate change, Australian and US climate researchers reported Wednesday. Higher ocean temperatures expand the volume of water, contributing to a rise in sea levels that is submerging small island nations and threatening to wreak havoc in low-lying, densely-populated delta regions around the globe. Trying to figure out how much each of these factors contributes to rising sea levels is critically important to understanding climate change, and forecasting future temperature rises, scientists say. Being so, new studies have been done in order to investigate the situation. A new study, led by Catia Domingues, of the Centre for Australian Weather and Climate Research, is the first to reconcile the models with observed data. Using new techniques to assess ocean temperatures to a depth of 700 metres (2,300 feet) from 1961 to 2003, it shows that thermal warming contributed to a 0.53 millimetre-per-year rise in sea levels rather than the 0.32 mm rise reported by the IPCC. According to the text, what was the main finding of the study?
	
	
	c. That not enough is being done about global warming.
	
	b. That the warming of the world's oceans is not a threat.
	
	d. That the oceans will dry entirely
	
	e. that the mountains will melt into sweet water oceans
	 
	a. That ocean waters have warmed faster than scientists had previously thought.
	
Explicação:
The world's oceans have warmed 50 percent faster over the last 40 years than previously thought due to climate change.
All the others are secondary ideas.
	
	
	 
	
	 5a Questão
	
	
	
	
	CONSIDER the following situation:
''Your course will start with an initial assessment in week 1, followed by a guided tour of the building.''
►The situation above is an example of (choose the right option):
	
	
	Descriptive text
	
	Persuasive text
	
	Narrative text
	 
	Informative text
	
	Instructive text
	
Explicação:
An informative text is a text that wants to advise or tell you about something.
A newspaper article might give you information about a health issue like giving up smoking.
A website might give you information about a movie, band or something that you are interested in.
A handout from school might be advising you about what your child will be doing during the next term.
Informative texts usually:
avoid repetition
contain facts
give information in a clear way - introducing the subject.
	
	
	 
	
	 6a Questão
	
	
	
	
	LOOK at the image below:
The image is an example of a recipe. Based on its structure, the text type which is predominant in it is (choose the right option):
	
	
	narrative
	
	expository
	
	persuasive
	
	descriptive
	 
	instructive
	
Explicação:
Instructive texts are concerned with concrete future activity. Central to these texts are imperatives (Hand me the paper) or forms which substitute for them, such as polite questions (Would you hand me the paper?) or suggestive remarks (I wonder what the paper says about the weather). A recipe is an example of an instructive text.

	 8a Questão
	
	
	
	
	Leia o texto com atenção e responda a questão proposta abaixo dele. GLOBAL WARMING Rising sea levels are driven by two things: the thermal expansion of sea water, and additional water from melting sources of ice. Both processes are caused by global warming. The ice sheet that sits atop Greenland, for example, contains enough water to raise world ocean levels by seven metres (23 feet), which would bury sea-level cities from Dhaka to Shanghai. Segundo o texto, o aumento nos níveis de água é especialmente perigoso para pequenas nações insulares e:
	
	
	e. insects related to grains
	
	c. people who live on the beach
	 
	b. all coastal cities.
	
	d. animals living in the forests
	 
	a. low-lyingurban areas.
	
Explicação:
All coastal cities = which would bury sea-level cities from Dhaka to Shanghai.
