	The author of this passage, William Finnegan, describes an experience surfing in very high waves off Ocean Beach in San Francisco. Only the very bravest and most experienced surfers attempt these waves in the winter. As the passage begins, the author and a friend have paddled out but were still too close to shore when a huge set of waves trapped them inside. Read the text below and answer the proposed question: The first wave snapped my ankle leash--a ten-foot length of polyurethane, strong enough to pull a car uphill--as if it were a piece of string. (2) I swam underneath that wave and then kept swimming, toward the open ocean. (3) The second wave looked like a three-story building. (4) It, like the first wave, was preparing to break a few yards in front of me. (5) I dived deep and swam hard. (6) The lip of the wave hitting the surface above me sounded like a bolt of lightning exploding at very close range, and it filled the water with shock waves. (7) I managed to stay underneath the turbulence, but when I surfaced I saw that the third wave of the set belonged to another order of being. (8) It was bigger, thicker, and drawing much more heavily off the bottom than the others. (9) My arms felt rubbery, and I started hyperventilating. (10) I dived very early and very deep. (11) The deeper I swam, the colder and darker the water got. (12) The noise as the wave broke was preternaturally low, a basso profundo of utter violence, and the force pulling me backward and upward felt like some nightmare of gravity. (13) Again, I managed to escape, and when I finally surfaced I was far outside. (14) There were no more waves, which was fortunate, since I was sure that one more would have finished me. --William Finnegan, "Surfing," The New Yorker Which three senses does Finnegan's description appeal to?

	Roses have been around and are documented longer than most of our garden plants.  The earliest record of them seems to be rose leaves found in the Colorado Rockies, dating back 35 to 32 million years to the Paleolithic era.  First mention of them, and their appearance in artistic motifs, was in Asia about 3000BC, with mention elsewhere about 2300 BC. The fragrance of roses was valued by the Romans, used to scent rooms and after bathing.  Cleopatra supposedly filled a room over a foot deep with rose petals while wooing Marc Anthony.  The two main roses used in this era were the Damask and Gallica types.

	Brazilian Cuisine
 
The three most traditional dishes in Rio de Janeiro are Feijoada, Bacalhoada and Tutu à Mineira. Rice and beans is also a dominant dish there. Many of these foods are not as common to Rio as they are to other regions of Brazil. The population is a mix of many cultures, such as Portuguese, African, Italian, Spanish, German, Asian, and more. This is reflected in the food.
This is traditionally a slave dish but it has become the national dish of brazil. It is made of beans, various pieces of pig (foot, ear, tail), ham hocks, pepperoni, pork or beef ribs, bacon, onions, olive oil, garlic, and black pepper. It is also served with rice.

	A metaphor is "a figure of speech containing an implied comparison, in which a word or phrase ordinarily and primarily used of one thing is applied to another.
	 
	In a Descriptive essay, you should make an effort to attract the reader's attention through a good selection of adjectives and verbs so that you can create a lively and interesting Description.
	
	In Descriptive writing you should choose specific words which points to a particular referent - a particular, person, object, place, event etc.
	 
	A metaphor is the same as a simile.
	
	We use relative clauses to give additional information about something without starting another sentence. By combining sentences with a relative clause, your text becomes more fluent and you can avoid repeating certain words.

	Fiona is not very tall, and this is probably the thing which she hates the most. She´s got very dark brown hair and she uses to wear it short. She has got an incredible eye color: we could describe it as a mixture between green, brown and grey, but it changes depending on the light. Her nose is quite small and she wears a piercing there for approximately two weeks: she´s very proud of it. Since then, she wants to have another one and also maybe a tattoo. She usually wears dark clothes, normally jeans with a wide sweatshirt or T-shirt. Fiona is a very kind girl, although she doesn´t like to show that much. If you don´t know her well, you could think that she´s quite serious, not very friendly, but once you talk with her you notice that she´s very cheerful and you just have to like her.

	 7a Questão
	
	
	
	
	In our highly literate society, there are literally hundreds of different types of written texts, much more of a variety than found in spoken texts. Each text genre has certain rules or conventions for its manifestation, and we are thus able to identify a genre and to know what to look for within the text.
BECAUSE
Every literate adult knows what the distinctive features of a given genre are if he/she has already been in contact with that kind of text before. Furthermore, he/she usually knows the purpose in reading it and what to select or not to select for short- and long-term memory - in other words, he/she brings various schemata to bear on the message that he/she has chosen to derive.
 
A respeito dessas asserções, assinale a alternativa correta:
		
	
	as duas são proposições verdadeiras, e a segunda é uma justificativa correta da primeira.
	 
	as duas são proposições falsas, mas a segunda não é uma justificativa correta da primeira.

	In our highly literate society, there are literally hundreds of different types of written texts, much more of a variety than found in spoken texts. Each text genre has certain rules or conventions for its manifestation, and we are thus able to identify a genre and to know what to look for within the text.
BECAUSE
Every literate adult knows what the distinctive features of a given genre are if he/she has already been in contact with that kind of text before. Furthermore, he/she usually knows the purpose in reading it and what to select or not to select for short- and long-term memory - in other words, he/she brings various schemata to bear on the message that he/she has chosen to derive.
 
A respeito dessas asserções, assinale a alternativa correta:
		
	
	as duas são proposições verdadeiras, e a segunda é uma justificativa correta da primeira.
	
	a primeira é uma proposição falsa, e a segunda é uma proposição verdadeira.
	 
	as duas são proposições falsas, mas a segunda não é uma justificativa correta da primeira.

	Brazilian Cuisine
 
The three most traditional dishes in Rio de Janeiro are Feijoada, Bacalhoada and Tutu à Mineira. Rice and beans is also a dominant dish there. Many of these foods are not as common to Rio as they are to other regions of Brazil. The population is a mix of many cultures, such as Portuguese, African, Italian, Spanish, German, Asian, and more. This is reflected in the food.
This is traditionally a slave dish but it has become the national dish of brazil. It is made of beans, various pieces of pig (foot, ear, tail), ham hocks, pepperoni, pork or beef ribs, bacon, onions, olive oil, garlic, and black pepper. It is also served with rice.

	Acerto:1,0  / 1,0
	Roses have been around and are documented longer than most of our garden plants.  The earliest record of them seems to be rose leaves found in the Colorado Rockies, dating back 35 to 32 million years to the Paleolithic era.  First mention of them, and their appearance in artistic motifs, was in Asia about 3000BC, with mention elsewhere about 2300 BC. The fragrance of roses was valued by the Romans, used to scent rooms and after bathing.  Cleopatra supposedly filled a room over a foot deep with rose petals while wooing Marc Anthony.  The two main roses used in this era were the Damask and Gallica types.

	Acerto: 1,0  / 1,0
	In our highly literate society, there are literally hundreds of different types of written texts, much more of a variety than found in spoken texts. Each text genre has certain rules or conventions for its manifestation, and we are thus able to identify a genre and to know what to look for within the text.
BECAUSE
Every literate adult knows what the distinctive features of a given genre are if he/she has already been in contact with that kind of text before. Furthermore, he/she usually knows the purpose in reading it and what to select or not to select for short- and long-term memory - in other words, he/she brings various schemata to bear on the message that he/she has chosen to derive.
