PALAVRAS DO COORDENADOR 
Quero parabenizar você pela escolha em participar do projeto Jovem 
Bilingue, pois tenho certeza que sua decisão em aprender um novo idioma, seja 
em língua estrangeira ou em língua de sinais, permitirá você a chegar até o final 
deste curso com louvor e consciente de que mundo ao seu redor será pequeno 
se comparado com os conhecimentos que você desenvolverá. 
Estudar um idioma requer leitura, dedicação e foco naquilo que você 
planeja, pois, além do aprendizado adquirido, novas experiências e 
possibilidades surgirão com o intuito de incrementar o seu currículo, conseguir 
um emprego, evoluir na carreira profissional e dentre outros, investir em uma 
formação de qualidade e diferenciada. 
Sem contar que ao estudar num projeto de extensão como este 
totalmente gratuito e financiado com recursos públicos, você dará um valor 
maior, quem sabe poderá conhecer outros países, suas culturas e formar novas 
amizades que ajudarão você a obter competências linguísticas específicas de 
cada língua. 
Portanto, aproveite esta oportunidade e não perca sua chance de se 
qualificar e ser bilingue. E para aqueles que ainda não estão na graduação, aqui, 
é o primeiro passo para nos vermos na universidade. 
Quando pensar em desistir, lembre-se que muitas pessoas se 
inscreveram no processo de seleção e que no meio de milhares, foi você o 
escolhido. 
Seja bem vindo ao Jovem Bilingue, para jovens do Amapá! 
Com Carinho,

A Cultural Note!! 
 
Greetings Around the World 
 
 In international business, it’s important to know how to greet people 
from different countries. In most business situations, shaking hands is the 
usual greeting. But people in different places shake hands in different 
ways. 
 In France, for example, handshakes are very quick. In Brazil, people 
take more time to shake hands. In both Brazil and France, it’s common 
to shake hands with people when you arrive and leave. People do not 
usually shake hands as often in the U.S. 
 In many parts of Asia, handshakes are gentle and can last 10 seconds. 
Handshakes are common in China, but it is also appropriate to nod your 
head when you meet a person for the first time. In the U.S., handshakes 
aren’t usually that long. 
 Here are some things to remember when you shake hands in English-
speaking countries: • Look at the person’s eyes and smile. 
• Shake hands firmly, but not too hard. 
• Shake hands for only 2 or 3 seconds.

Introducing a Friend 
Pay attention on this video: 
 
https://youtu.be/WUpd84_F4x4 
 
 
You might have noticed we use the phrase ‘this is’ to introduce someone 
else, and then you can say the name. 
That is the way you introduce a friend!!! 
This is ... (one friend) 
These are ... (two or more friends) 
 
Now, go to Flipgrid and introduce yourself and any friend of yours. 
(your monitor will help you)

At the end of this unit, you’ll be able to: 
 
-Talk about age and numbers;

Topic 1 – Age 
Age is the period of time someone has been alive or something has 
existed. When we want to know someone's age, we ask "How old are 
you?" or "How old is John Doe?". We usually use numbers to answer 
these questions, but when we want to be more general, we may refer to 
the period of life that person is going through. Let's take a look at how 
we generally organize life: 
 
Birth: The moment you come out of your mother’s body. After you are 
born, you are called a baby. 
Childhood: When you are not a baby anymore, but you are not an 
adolescent yet, around 4 or 5 years old until 11 or 12 years old. 
Adolescence: An intense moment of your life, adolescences experience 
puberty and this usually happens from 13 to 17 years old. 
Adulthood: When you are considered mature. From 18 years old to 
your 60s. 
Old Age: The final stage of life, around 65 years old. 
Death: When you stop breathing. 
Afterlife: A belief that life continues after death, some common words 
for this are “heaven” or “hell”. 
Note: These definitions may vary from country to country. 
 
 
 
FUN FACT 
John Doe" or "Jane Doe" are the names we use for unknown people. 
How do you say this in your language? 
 
26 
 
Asking information about age. 
Let’s take a look at how you ask people about their age or about someone 
else’s age: 
 
How old are you? 
How old is John/Jane Doe? (Asking about someone else) 
How old are you? (Asking about the person you are speaking to) 
 
 
 
 
 
Possible answers. 
Let’s take a look at how you can answer these types of question. 
 
I am 20 years old. (Talking about yourself) 
John Doe is 33 years old. (Talking about someone else) 
Jane Doe has a nephew aged 12. (Talking about someone else’s relative) 
John Doe is a 33-year-old fireman. (Describing someone) 
He is in his early/mid/late thirties. (Talking about someone else) 
Jane Doe is in her teens. (Talking about someone else) 
John Doe is above/below the age of 30. (Talking about someone else) 
John Doe is nearly/almost 40. (Talking about someone else) 
John Doe is about 30. (Talking about someone else) 
Jane Doe must be under 18. (Talking about someone else) 
 
 
 
 
FUN FACT 
Fun Fact: Many people don’t like to be asked about their age, so if 
you really want to know, you may ask it in a polite form: “Do you 
mind if I ask how old you are?” 
 
27 
 
Activity 
Let’s practice! Take a look at the images and information below and

Now that we saw many different people who have many different 
ages,let’s take a look at the numbers from adulthood to old age (20 to 
100).

Topic 2: Identities 
 
Your identity is the type of person you are, shown by the way you 
behave, feel, and think. Besides those, there are many characteristics 
that identify us, but for now let’s focus on 
Wh-questions begin with what, when, where, who, whom, which, whose 
and why. We use them to ask for information. The answer cannot be yes 
or no: 
 
What? 
It is used for asking about a specific information, like names, 
hours, or anything else. In the dialogue, the interviewer asked “What 
makes you different...?” to decide if she should hire her or not. 
 
31 
 
When? 
It is used to ask about the time. In the dialogue above, the 
interviewer asks “When can you start working?” to know the date they 
will start working together and to give her the good news. 
 
Where? 
We use “where” to ask about places. In the conversation we just saw, the 
interviewer asks “Where did you work before?” referring to a company, 
not only the place where it is settled but also the company’s name. 
 
Who? 
It is used for asking questions about people. The most famous 
question is in the dialogue, the interviewer asked “who are you?” to get 
professional information about the candidate, but you can ask this to 
know a person’s name when you are meeting for the first time, even 
though “What’s your name?” is more common for this situation. 
 
Whom? 
Although “whom” is not in the dialogue, we use it to ask about 
someone like “who?”. However, the preposition “whom” works as an 
object to a verb or preposition, let’s see an example 
“Whom is that woman talking to?” “She is talking to her husband.” 
 
 
 
32 
 
Which? 
We use “which” like we use “what”, the difference is that for using 
“which” we already have a limited arrange of choices. In the dialogue, 
the interviewer asks “Which days of the week are you free?” because we 
only have seven days in a week. 
 
Whose? 
It is used for asking about information in a possessive manner. We 
ask questions with “whose” when we want to know who owns something. 
As this pronoun is not in the dialogue, let’s see an example below: 
“Whose cellphone is this?” “Oh! It’s mine.” 
 
Why? 
We use “why” to ask about the reason or the purpose for something. 
In the dialogue, the interviewer asks “Why should we hire you?” to know 
if there is a reason for hiring the candidate or not. 
 
How? 
We ask questions with “how” for understanding the forms and manners 
that something occurred. In the dialogue, the interviewer asks “How did 
you feel...?” to know the emotions and actions the candidate went 
through. We already use “how” to ask about age. 
 
 
 
33 
 
Activity 
There are many words for asking questions and we can get a lot of 
information from people if we use them. This amount of information can 
help you identify people and things around you, besides making it 
possible for you to understand yourself. Take a look at the questions 
below and answer them by writing sentences that describe who you are. 
What is your name? 
 
When did you start studying English? 
 
Where were you born? 
 
Who is your favorite writer? 
 
Whom are you going to invite to your next birthday? 
 
Which days of the week are your favorites? 
 
Whose birthday are you looking forward to celebrate? 
 
Why are you studying English?How are you feeling right now? 
 
 
34 
 
Another way of asking questions and answering them, besides the “wh” 
form is the Yes or No questions and the short answers. Let’s take a look 
at how we form them. 
Yes/No Questions 
They are also called closed questions because you don’t answer them 
by giving detailed information. Let’s see some examples: 
“Are you working right now?” “Yes, I am.” 
When we answer someone by saying “yes” or “no”, we call these 
answers “short answers. Structure: 
Question: Verb to be at the beginning + Subject + Information. Answer: 
Yes/No + Subject + Am/Is/Are or Do/Does.

Topic 3: Cities, Countries and Nationalities 
 
A very important part of your identity is your 
nationality. Do you remember the writers from Topic 
1? Let’s remember their descriptions. 
 
 
 
Lucia Puenzo is an Argentine writer. 
Chimamanda Adichie is a Nigerian writer. 
Yōko Ogawa is a Japanese writer. 
Ailton Krenak is a Brazilian writer. 
Margaret Atwood is a Canadian writer. 
Conceição Evaristo is a Brazilian writer. 
 
Argentine, Nigerian, Japanese, Brazilian and Canadian are their 
nationalities, they refer to the countries where they were born. When we 
talk about nationalities and names of cities and countries, we always 
capitalize the first letter. 
Let’s see how we usually organize the places we live in. 
 
Note: Some countries may organize their space in a different form, like 
in Japan and France, where they have prefectures and communes, 
respectively.

Take a look at how we talk about them through the explanations 
provided by Cambridge Dictionary Online: 
When we refer to a nation or region, we can use: 
- the name of the country or region: Turkey, Japan, Germany, Brazil, 
Asia. 
- a singular noun that we use for a person from the country or region: a 
Turk, a Japanese, a German, a Brazilian, an Asian 
- the plural expression… used for the whole population of a country or 
region: the Turks, the Japanese, the Germans, the Brazilians, the Asians. 
-an adjective: Turkish, Japanese, German, Brazilian, Asian 
The name of a national language is commonly the same as the national 
adjective. In this case, the words are nouns ad may be modified by 
adjectives. We don’t use the or the word language: 
Do you speak Chinese? 
 
 
 
 
TAKE NOTE 
Besides those concepts, we also have the words “nation” and “region” 
for describing a large group of people living in a specific place and a 
particular area or division inside countries, respectively.

All Of Me 
By: John Legend 
 
What would I do without your 
smart mouth 
Drawing me in, and you kicking 
me out 
Got my head spinning, no kidding, 
I can’t pin you down 
What’s going on in that beautiful 
mind? 
I’m on your magical mystery ride 
And I’m so dizzy, don’t know 
what hit me, but I’ll be alright 
 
My head’s under water 
But I’m breathing fine 
You’re crazy and I’m out of my 
mind 
 
‘Cause all of me 
Loves all of you 
Love your curves and all your 
edges 
All your perfect imperfections 
Give your all to me 
I’ll give my all to you 
You’re my end and my beginning 
Even when I lose I’m winning 
‘Cause I give you all of me 
And you give me all of you 
 
How many times do I have to tell 
you 
Even when you’re crying you’re 
beautiful too 
The world is beating you down, 
I’m around through every mood 
You’re my downfall, you’re my 
muse 
My worst distraction, my rhythm 
and blues 
I can’t stop singing, it’s ringing, in 
my head for you 
 
My head’s under water 
But I’m breathing fine 
You’re crazy and I’m out of my 
mind 
 
‘Cause all of me 
Loves all of you 
Love your curves and all your 
edges 
All your perfect imperfections 
Give your all to me 
I’ll give my all to you 
You’re my end and my beginning 
Even when I lose I’m winning

showing hearts 
Risking it all, though it’s hard 
 
‘Cause all of me 
Loves all of you 
Love your curves and all your 
edges 
All your perfect imperfections 
Give your all to me 
I’ll give my all to you 
You’re my end and my beginning

Grammar Points 
Possessive Adjectives 
Definition: Possessive adjectives are used to show possession or 
ownership of something. 
The possessive adjectives are: my, your, his, her, its, our, your (plural) 
and their. 
The structure is: Possessive Adjective + Noun 
 
 
 
 
70 
 
Examples:

His pen is red. 
She likes to go to Fortaleza de São José to walk with her dog. 
Our professor is feeling sick today. 
What is your favorite place in Macapá? (plural) 
Their dog is always barking. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
TAKE NOTE 
But the main verb needs to be in agreement with the noun. 
For example: 
− Her cat is cute. 
− Her cats are cute. 
− His brother is tall. 
 − His brothers are tall. 
It is not necessary to add an S to the possessive adjective when the 
following noun is plural like in Portuguese. 
For example: 
• Your cars were expensive. (not Yours cars...) 
• Our dogs are cute. (not Ours dogs....) 
 
 
 
71 
 
Possessive Pronouns

place, or thing. Also, they can be used to replace nouns.

TAKE NOTE 
They always end with “-day”. 
Remember how they start: 
Monday - the first part “mon” comes from “moon”. 
Tuesday - the first part comes from the name of the god of war in 
Norse mythology, Tyr; “Tyr’s Day,” which turned into “Tuesday” 
because that is how it sounds. 
Wednesday - comes from the name of the king of the Norse gods, 
Odin. “Odin’s Day” eventually turned into “Wednesday.” 
Thursday - if you like superheroes, then of course you should know 
who Thor is. If not, he is the god of Thunder in Norse mythology. 
“Thor’s Day” said quickly is “Thursday.” 
Friday - named after the Anglo-Saxon goddess Frigg. She is based off 
of Venus, the Roman goddess. 
Saturday - the Roman god of agriculture, Saturn, is where this name 
comes from. “Saturn’s Day” ” Saturday” 
Sunday - the day of the sun

Clock Time 
In English there are several ways of telling the time on the clock, here 
are a few examples. 
Hours in number Hours in full 
10:00 Ten o´clock / Ten 
10:02 Ten oh two 
10:05 Ten oh five 
10:30 Ten thirty 
10:35 Ten thirty five 
10:40 Twenty to eleven/ Ten forty 
10:45 Ten forty-five 
10:50 Ten fifty 
 
If you intend to be more formal when expressing the hours you should 
use: 
Minutes + Past / To + Hours 
It is used Minutes + Past between 1 and 30 minutes, expressing how 
many minutes have passed in one hour, for example: 
06:15 - It is fifteen past six / 03:05 - It is five past three 
It is used To + Hours between 31 and 59 minutes, expressing how many 
minutes are in need to conclude the hour, for example: 
03:45 - It is fifteen to four / 07:55 - It is five to eight 
 
 
 
TAKE NOTE 
Time in English is divided in two periods, before 12:00 (AM: 
between 00:00 and 11:59) and after 12:00 (PM: between 
12:00 and 23:59) 
 
83 
 
There are several ways of asking the hours as well, normally you would 
ask: 
 
“What time is it?” 
 
Even though this is the most used way of asking the time you should not 
be surprised if someone say something like 
 
“Have you got the time on you?” 
“Can I have the hours, please?” 
“What time we´ve got?”
