Explicação:
Kern states that literacy in a second language involves a competence to interpret and critically evaluate a large variety of written and spoken texts in cultural, pragmatic and interactional contexts. I expect that the process of reading may reveal readers who perform an active role and that recognize that they are responsible to build meanings in communicative contexts. They should also have the ability to understand cultural differences and be able to function adequately in a literate foreign society. But do not forget that as an efficient reader, you should be able to do that in an autonomous way.

	 2a Questão
	
	
	
	
	Kern (2000) presents a definition of "literacy", which brings the notions we believe to be essential for the understanding of reading as a social act.  Mark the option that does NOT present this definition:
		
	
	"Literacy" in a second language involves a competence to interpret and critically evaluate a large variety of written and spoken texts in cultural, pragmatic and interactional contexts.
	
	"Literacy" requires "a broader discourse competence that involves the ability to interpret and critically evaluate a wide variety of written and spoken text".
	 
	"Literacy" is a state whereby one is unable to read and write. In its simplest form, it can be defined as lack of any or sufficient education.
	
	"Literacy" is a complex concept of familiarity with language and its use in context-primarily written language, but by extension also spoken communication.
	
	"Literacy" in a second language means much more than the separate abilities to read and write.

	Joseph Pulitzer
Joseph Pulitzer was born in 1847 in Makó, Hungary. He emigrated to the United States when he was seventeen years old, and was naturalised on his twentieth birthday. He spent his career in journalism working in the mid-west and New York. From 1871 he was also the owner or part-owner of many newspapers. His most famous newspaper was the New York World (which many believe was the model for the Daily Planet of the Superman stories). The World campaigned against corruption, and exposed many scandals. It was also a strong supporter of the rights of the working man.
In later life, Joseph Pulitzer collapsed from overwork, and lost his sight. He became dedicated to improving the quality of journalism in America, and donated $1 million to Columbia University to found a school of journalism. However, his most significant contribution was the establishment of the Pulitzer prizes in his will.
These prizes for excellence in journalism have been given every year since 1917 by Columbia University. Since 1942 there have been extra categories for press photography, and later still for criticism, feature writing and commentary. The prize was originally for $500, but today the winners of the prize receive a gold medal. However, the real value of the prize is that it confirms that the journalist who has received the award is the best American journalist of the year- a fact that is worth much more than $500 to the journalist and to the newspaper that employs him or her.
 Joseph Pulitzer came to America because
		
	
	he was with his parents
	
	Hungary was being attacked by Austria
	 
	the text does not say.
	
	he wanted to be a journalist
	
	His family was very poor

	(1)adjectives, (2)personally support, (3)argumentative
	Respondido em 14/05/2020 15:32:01
	
Explicação:
Argumentative texts depart from the assumption that the receiver¿s beliefs must be changed. They often start with the negation of a statement which attributes a quality or characteristic activity to something or someone (esp. scholarly texts).  They also include advertising texts, which try to persuade/convince their readers that a product is somehow better, at least implicitly, than others.

	Leia o texto abaixo e assinale a alternativa que revela a principal razão para que se ensine inglês desde cedo nas escolas europeias.
"The use of English as a global tongue is booming. English has become part of the daily routine. It is not different in European nations! There, students as young as 7 are learning multiplication or discussing the weather in English. In one classroom, lists of songs that the first grade has already mastered include not only local German tunes but "Old McDonald" and "How are you doing this morning?" . Parents are delighted.  "It is something that you need", said Beatriz Caforeo, whose son, Andrea, goes to the school there. "Everywhere people are speaking English, not just abroad.  Throughout Europe, English is growing in use and acceptability. Beyond the schoolhouse here, European Universities, particularly in Northern Europe, are giving courses in science, philosophy and business in English."
		
	
	Children communicate better in English
	
	Because they all want to visit Disneyland.
	
	Children learn faster than adults.
	 
	English is necessary all around the word
	
	Because people think English is a cool and easy language.
	Respondido em 14/05/2020 16:06:25
	
Explicação:
A topic sentence is the most important sentence in a paragraph. Sometimes referred to as a focus sentence, the topic sentence helps organize the paragraph by summarizing the information in the paragraph. In formal writing, the topic sentence is usually the first sentence in a paragraph (although it doesn't have to be).
The use of English as a global tongue is booming. English has become part of the daily routine.

	De acordo com o texto, assinale a alternativa que indica a razão do funeral de Jim Davis ter sido diferente dos outros: FAKE FUNERAL SCAM It was quite a send-off for Jim Davis, or so the people paying his funeral bills were led to believe. They were told Davis was laid to rest at Abbey Memorial Park in Compton after being placed in an ornate, top-of-the-line casket lined with elaborate floral arrangements. Altogether, the bill to bury Davis at the palm-lined cemetery came to nearly $31,000. But there was a problem: There was no Jim Davis. He was dreamed up by a group of scam artists, authorities say. And prosecutors say the coffin that was lowered into the ground was made out of cheap plywood or cardboard, filled with either rocks or animal bones, apparently to convince those who handled it that there was a body inside.

	a. Jim Davis was a fictitious person

	Rembrandt self portrait
The auction house thought the portrait was a 17th century Rembrandt knockoff, and valued it at just $3,100. But the British buyer who paid about 1,500 times more than that apparently knew what he was doing. Experts have confirmed "Rembrandt Laughing" - bought for a bargain price of $4.5 million at an English auction house in October - is a self-portrait by the Dutch master himself, depicted with his head tilted back in easygoing laughter. 
William Noortman from Noortman Master Paintings, specializing in Dutch and Flemish masters, said it's worth $30 million to $40 million, adding: "I'm very surprised it didn't make more at auction." 
The 9 1/2-inch-by-6 1/2-inch painting will hang in the Rembrandt House Museum in Amsterdam through June 29, on loan from the anonymous Briton who bought it at the auction by Moore, Allen and Innocent in Gloucestershire and had it cleaned and examined by British experts. 
Art expert Jan Six from another auction house, Sotheby's, declined to put a new value on the painting. But he said the sale itself was a rare opportunity, as Rembrandt's works come on the market only once every few years. "A self-portrait by Rembrandt, that's absolutely unique ¿ not in my lifetime," Six said. 
Rembrandt made the self-portrait about 1628, when he was in his early 20s and still in his hometown, Leiden. Already he was earning his reputation as an artist, and experimenting with a mirror and his own face to capture expressions. 
 Why did the first auction house give the painting such a low value?
		
	 
	They thought it was a fake.
	
	They forgot to add a "0" to the number.
	
	They thought it was only worth that much.
	
	They wanted the sale to be anonymous.
	
	Because Rembrandt was very young when he painted it.

	Joseph Pulitzer
Joseph Pulitzer was born in 1847 in Makó, Hungary. He emigrated to the United States when he was seventeen years old, and was naturalised on his twentieth birthday. He spent his career in journalism working in the mid-west and New York. From 1871 he was also the owner or part-owner of many newspapers. His most famous newspaper was the New York World (which many believe was the model for the Daily Planet of the Superman stories). The World campaigned against corruption, and exposed many scandals. It was also a strong supporter of the rights of the working man.
In later life, Joseph Pulitzer collapsed from overwork, and lost his sight. He became dedicated to improving the quality of journalism in America, and donated $1 million to Columbia University to found a school of journalism. However, his most significant contribution was the establishment of the Pulitzer prizes in his will.
These prizes for excellence in journalism have been given every year since 1917 by Columbia University. Since 1942 there have been extra categories for press photography, and later still for criticism, feature writing and commentary. The prize was originally for $500, but today the winners of the prize receive a gold medal. However, the real value of the prize is that it confirms that the journalist who has received the award is the best American journalist of the year - a fact that is worth much more than $500 to the journalist and to the newspaper that employs him or her.
 Joseph Pulitzer came to America because

They were told Davis was laid to rest at Abbey Memorial Park in Compton after being placed in an ornate, top-of-the-line casket lined with elaborate floral arrangements. Altogether, the bill to bury Davis at the palm-lined cemetery came to nearly $31,000. But there was a problem: There was no Jim Davis. He was dreamed up by a group of scam artists, authorities say.

	Cheating and Plagiarism
Students are responsible for familiarising themselves with the University Code of Student Conduct, as on enrollment with the University  the student has placed themselves under the policies and regulations of the University and all of its duly constituted bodies. Disciplinary authority is exercised through the Student Conduct Committee. The Committee has procedures in place for hearing allegations of misconduct. Copies of the student conduct code are available at the Student Services Office.
Academic dishonesty is never condoned by the University. This includes cheating and plagiarism, which violate the Student Conduct Code and could result in expulsion or failing the course.
Cheating includes but is not limited to obtaining or giving unauthorized help during an examination, getting unauthorized information about the contents of an examination before it is administered, using unauthorized sources of information during an examination, altering or falsifying the record of any grades, altering or supplying answers after an examination has been handed in, falsifying any official University record, and misrepresenting the facts to get exemptions from or extensions to course requirements.
Plagiarism includes but is not limited to submittingany paper or other document, to satisfy an academic requirement, which has been copied either in whole or in part from someone else¿s work without identifying that person; failing to identify as a quotation a documented idea that has not been thoroughly assimilated into the student's language and style, or paraphrasing a passage so closely that the reader could be misled as to the source; submitting the same written or oral material in different courses without obtaining authorisation from the lecturers involved; or 'dry-labbing', which includes obtaining and using experimental data from fellow students without the express consent of the lecturer, utilizing experimental data and laboratory write-ups from other parts of the course or from previous terms during which the course was conducted, and fabricating data to fit the expected result.
From the above text, it is possible to infer that:
		
	
	The text lists all activities that are considered to be cheating.
	
	It is never acceptable to paraphrase closely.
	 
	If students want to use other students' laboratory data, they must ask them and the lecturer first.
	
	The Student Services Office familiarises students with the student code.
	
	Cheats will automatically be expelled because their behaviour cannot be condoned.

Children and Difficult Behaviour /May 2010 - Newsweek
 Every child misbehaves from time to time. This is always distressing to us as parents because we would all like to be perfect parents of perfect children! Children can misbehave by accident or on purpose, and it is important to understand the difference, for example: ¿ Accidental misbehaviour - Your eight-year old throws a snowball in a friendly snowball fight and injure another child because a stone was accidentally packed into the snowball. ¿ Intentional misbehaviour - Your child steals candy from the corner store after you refused to give his/ her allowance two days early. The most important things you can do are to be patient, avoid losing your temper and remember that love is more persuasive than punishment. Before you act, try to think a few things through - ask yourself questions. Then, act as calmly and as thoughtfully as you can.
		
	
	Destroying property,

"The maintenance of order in pre-state societies is rooted in a commonality of material interests. The greater the amount of common interests, the less need there is for law-and-order specialists. Among band-level cultures law and order stem directly from the relations between people and the natural habitat from which subsistence is derived. All adults usually have open access to this habitat: the rivers, lakes, beaches, oceans; all the plants and animals; the soil and the subsoil. In so far as these are basic to the extraction of life-sustaining energy and materials they are communal "property."

	Respondido em 16/05/2020 13:12:54
	
Explicação:
Pakistan has denied reports that its troops will leave the Indian border. 
False. Pakistan has denied reports that army leave (holiday) has been cancelled.
Pakistan is moving troops from the Indian border to attack militants in Swat and Bajaur. India is not sending reinforcements.
Completely untrue. Pakistan has denied reports that it is moving troops in the opposite direction.
Pakistan has denied reports that it is making military preparations close to the Indian border. India says it is not increasing troop numbers in the area either. 
Correct. This is the best summary.
Pakistan is moving thousands of troops from the north-west to the Indian border. India is not significantly increasing the number of
troops on the border. 
While this may be true, it is not the best summary as the report stated that Pakistan had denied this.
Hostilities are likely in South Asia as Pakistan builds up troop numbers on the frontier with India and India prepares to retaliate.
While this may be true, it is not the best summary as the report stated that both India and Pakistan had denied increasing troop numbers
near the border.

	scanning
	
	intensive reading

	Respondido em 16/05/2020 13:17:07
	
Explicação:
Scanning helps the reader obtain information from the text without need reading all text. It is a quick preview of the text, you just read the information contained in that space. You do the scanning moving your eyes from up to down and vice-verse, looking for the main words, or specific phrases or key words, etc. When you are doing the scanning pay attention to the punctuations of the author, such us, marks with numbers, letters, asterisk, etc. Look for underlined word, words in bold, in italic, different sizes of letters or words. This process is useful, like already said, for whom wants to find specific information, such as, a name, a date of birth, a phone number in a list, a word in a dictionary and so on.

	They are essential to the development of the four skills anyone should develop when learning a language: reading, writing, speaking, and listening.
	
	They are generally useless in helping students understand the text they will be reading next, as they are not responsible for the activation of any prior knowledge.
	 
	They help students make sense of what they have just read and emphasize the need of going from reading a text to using what has been learnt from the text.
	
	They help students activate their background knowledge about important abilities, strategies and lexis which are going to be necessary in the text.

	A son writes ... Last week I asked my Mum if I could go to a rock festival. No',shesaid,No′,shesaid,the music will be too loud ... there'll be crowds of people ... you won't know anybody ...'. These excuses were so lame I decided there was some other secret reason why she didn't want me to go. After all, this is the first time my mum has ever shown any concern about the dangers of loud music. I think the real reason Mum is worried about my going to the festival is that my friends and I will have to survive by ourselves for a couple of days. This might not sound like much of a challenge, but surviving means preparing food as well as eating it, putting tents up as well as sleeping in them ... Mum has obviously realized that if I went to the festival I would soon find out how totally dependent on her I am. And once I realized how incapable I am of surviving on my own, I would never leave home again. Then Mum would have a pathetic teenager / adult under her feet for the rest of her life.

Fat Kids, Cruel World
By Lesley Kinzel | Newsweek Web Exclusive Apr 20, 2010
 After a decade of dieting, false hopes, and dead ends, I was out of options. I was an obese child, now assured of a life as an obese adult. The path I ultimately chose was self-acceptance. I chose to shed self-hatred and to respect myself, something I'd never done before. It was a long time coming; it didn't happen in a week or even a year. But I came to realize that it wasn't my fatness that made me hate exercise; it was the social expectations associated with being fat that did so. It wasn't my fatness that made me feel inferior to and isolated from people I met; it was the cultural ideology which dictated that fat people are lonely, miserable, and unloved.

HOW QUICKLY WE FORGET
 OUR ADDICTION TO CHEAP ENERGY HAS A WAY OF CLOUDING MEMORIES OF EVEN THE MOST VIVID DISASTERS
By Sharon Begley | NEWSWEEK Published May 7, 2010
The legacy of environmental catastrophes is, instead, a hybrid of amnesia and habituation. That is, the public forgets more quickly now than in the past, and understands that no source of energy is risk-free. Coal kills miners, including the 25 in West Virginia last month. Natural-gas pipelines sometimes explode and occasionally kill, as in a 2000 accident that left 12 people dead in New Mexico. Nuclear reactors, despite industry assurances, will never be risk-free; no technology is. The "risks" of renewable such as wind and solar are higher energy prices, which too many people are less acceptable than the environmental and human costs of fossil fuel. "There has been a generational change in risk tolerance," says engineering professor Henry Petroski of Duke University, author of the 2010 book The Essential Engineer. "The public has become more familiar with the concept of risk, and the fact that it is ubiquitous. The bumper sticker S--T HAPPENS used to be a fringe phenomenon, but now it's mainstream: people have become resigned to risk."
		
	
	People are very concerned about the risks of energy production.
	
	These diseases are caused by long hours of work in natural-gas pipelines.
	
	These diseases are caused by long hours of work in coal mines.
	 
	Our addiction to cheap energy made us too tolerant to the risks of energy production.

b. During the process of a text comprehension written in foreign language, the reader should try to understand all unknown words in the context they are employed. Then, we should consider: The text subject; everything the reader knows about the subject; grammatical relations.
c. Elements such as titles, dates, subtitles, illustrations, photos, diagrams, charts, bold types, quotation marks, different types of letters, etc. are important to help the reader to make inferences and logical deductions.

Explicação:
Prediction - When you use this strategy, you are able to create hypotheses about the themes you are going to read about in the texts. Afterwards, when you read the texts, you can agree or modify your first impressions about them. When you use this strategy, you are mentally preparing yourself for the reading. Try to understand the title of the text, if there is a one,  or search for  any other visual clues because they generally function as a summary of the text.
Visuals ( Inferência visual) -       Elements such as titles, dates, subtitles, illustrations, photos, diagrams, charts, bold types, quotation marks, different types of letters, etc. are important to help the reader to make inferences and logical deductions .
Guessing -        During the process of a text comprehension written in foreign language, the reader should try to understand all unknown words in the context they are employed. Then, we should consider:
· the text subject
· everything the reader knows about the subject
· grammatical relations
· parts of the text that the reader has already understood
· what is implicit in the text
· near words and sentences

	Respondido em 16/05/2020 14:31:19
	
Explicação:
We are exposed to several different examples of a situation, and from those examples, we conclude a general truth. For instance, you visit your local grocery store daily to pick up necessary items. You notice that on Friday, two weeks ago, all the clerks in the store were wearing football jerseys. Again, last Friday, the clerks wore their football jerseys. Today, also a Friday, they're wearing them again. From just these observations, you can conclude that on all Fridays, these supermarket employees will wear football jerseys to support their local team.
This type of pattern recognition, leading to a conclusion, is known as inductive reasoning.

Autumn is the season that falls between summer and winter. There are many changes that begin in this fascinating season. Days become shorter. Leaves of trees turn from green to vibrant red, yellow and orange. Trees need sunlight to keep their leaves a lively green. Without sunlight leaves turn colors. The grass is no longer blanketed with dew but with frost, almost every morning, as temperatures reach the freezing point. Animals start storing up a food supply to last through the long winter months. These changes occur as we adjust from the heat of the summer to the chill of the winter.
Qual das seguintes mudanças pode ocorrer no Outono?

	We have different levels of reading. What is the right definition about "pos-reading"?
		
	 
	It is a level in which the main focus is based on the relationship of the student's world with the author's ideas.
	
	There are words and expressions which are used to link ideas in a given context to promote cohesion and coherence.
	
	Activate the previous knowledge of the students in relation to the knowledge of the world: exploit the title, drawings, graphs, figures, author, source, lexical items.
	
	It is a phase in which the student has to project his knowledge of the world and textual organization in the systemic elements of the text.
	
	The knowledge of the process of word formation can help readers to deduce meanings.

	Leia com atenção a situação abaixo e relacione-a com a técnica de leitura a qual se assemelha, assinalando a respectiva opção: When you look for a number in a telephone directory, you do not read all the text. Instead, you prefer to hurry over the text until you find the information you want. When doing so, which reading subskill are you applying?
		
	
	reading for gist
	
	intensive reading
	
	extensive reading
	 
	scanning
	
	skimming
	Respondido em 16/05/2020 14:34:41
	
Explicação:
Scanning helps the reader obtain information from the text without need reading all text. It is a quick preview of the text, you just read the information contained in that space. You do the scanning moving your eyes from up to down and vice-verse, looking for the main words, or specific phrases or key words, etc. When you are doing the scanning pay attention to the punctuations of the author, such us, marks with numbers, letters, asterisk, etc. Look for underlined word, words in bold, in italic, different sizes of letters or words. This process is useful, like already said, for whom wants to find specific information, such as, a name, a date of birth, a phone number in a list, a word in a dictionary and so on.

MEMORABLE MOTHER'S DAY MESSES
 By KitchenDaily Editors  www.aol.com
Everything in the Bathroom Sink - Reader Stacey Anne Yates says her son, Wyatt, takes holidays very seriously, especially Mother's Day, and always presents her with a card and a homemade snack. "When Wyatt was six years old, he disappeared into the bathroom promising me a surprise," Stacey relates. "I figured the bathroom had become his card making lair and I mentally scheduled time to clean up the rogue glue and glitter. Twenty minutes later, he popped out very pleased with his Mother's Day surprise. He darted into the kitchen and returned with two spoons. With spoons in hand he led me, eyes closed, into the bathroom. SURPRISE! Wyatt had made me Macaroni & Cheese in his small bathroom sink. You know the stuff: the box of noodles with the dried cheese packet. Now imagine that orange powder embedded in the tile grout and the noodles expanding in the P-trap. Not to mention the butter that was "hand stirred" into the concoction and spread across most of the bathroom's surfaces and the towels. YUM! He was so proud of his mushy cheesy masterpiece that I had no choice but to dig in. It was a plumber's nightmare but an unforgettable Mother's Day meal."
What did Stacey mean when she said: "I mentally scheduled time to clean up the rogue and glitter."
		
	
	She thought Wyatt would gave her a beautiful card.
	 
	She thought it would be hard to clean up the mess.
	
	She thought the bathroom would be cleaned by Wyatt.
	
	She thought it would be a nice and creative surprise.
	
	She thought her son would make no mess at all.

	scanning - skimming - reading for detail - extensive reading
	Respondido em 16/05/2020 14:42:15
	
Explicação:
skimming - reading for general meaning or gist 
scanning - reading for specific information 
Extensive reading is used to obtain a general understanding of a subject and includes reading longer texts for pleasure, as well as business books. Use extensive reading skills to improve your general knowledge of business procedures. Do not worry if you understand each word.
Intensive reading is used on shorter texts in order to extract specific information. It includes very close accurate reading for detail. Use intensive reading skills to grasp the details of a specific situation. In this case, it is important that you understand each word, number or fact.

	Some lexical items generally bring some difficulty to the readers, except:
		
	
	false friends
	 
	cognates
	 
	idiomatic expressions
	
	meaning transfer
	
	slangs
	Respondido em 16/05/2020 14:42:57
	
Explicação:
According to the Longman Dictionary of Applied¿Linguistics, a cognate is ¿a word in one language which is similar in form and meaning to a word in another language because both languages are related¿ (Richards et al., 1985, p. 43). For example, important and interesting and importante e interessante, in English and Portuguese respectively, are cognates. English and Portuguese have many cognate words due to the fact that Portuguese originated from Latin and more than seventy percent of the English vocabulary derives from Latin. Thus, the meaning of many unknown English words can be easily guessed from the context whenever a Brazilian learner is reading an English text. Not surprisingly, researchers who study L1 and L2/FL acquisition have found that students benefit from cognate awareness. Cognate awareness is the ability to use cognates from the native language as a tool for understanding a second language.

 Staying Home for the Holidays: Strapped vacationers are discovering the attractions in their own backyards. Bad news for the global economy. 
 Sophie Grove | NEWSWEEK/Published May 2, 2009
 Juliet Murrell has packed her suitcase. But she's not going anywhere. The 28-year-old interior designer is vacationing at home this year. Murrell, who usually travels to southern France and beyond, is embarking on a "staycation," taking a fortnight off work to swim, cycle and explore areas of her own city, East London, a former industrial zone that has a gritty charm but is hardly the Côte d'Azur. "You have to wake up in the morning with the spirit of adventure," she says. "It's about mentally reviving yourself and your environment." As the pound weakens to near parity with the euro, scores of Britons are canceling their trips to the Mediterranean or the French Riviera and braving the notoriously unpredictable weather at home.

To Whom It May Concern,
 
It gives me great pleasure to recommend Sarah Morgan Silva for an MA in Education at the University of Sussex. I was Ms. Silva's professor of Teaching Methodologies in Portuguese as a Second Language for a semester in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (August-December 2015) and during that period, I had the chance to notice her great performance throughout the lectures. The course comprises a set of complex issues (i.e. approaches and methods, uses of some digital technologies as mediating tools, lesson planning, etc.), which demands a lot of dedication, focus, and several hours of hard work and Ms. Silva  demonstrated both maturity and commitment to her studies.
In relation to all classroom activities and assignments, Ms. Silva always did her work conscientiously, besides continuously seeking out additional information on how to become a better professional and education. She also had a great capacity for fulfilling her responsibilities in a variety of activities, always looking forward to succeeding in all assessments. 
Personally, I find Sarah Morgan Silva to be an intelligent, organized and articulate person, who is self-motivated and demonstrates great interest in educational issues. I strongly recommend her for the course aforementioned, and I am happy to amplify on any details if you wish. 
 
Yours faithfully,
 
John Peterson

	 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?
		
	
	d. That the oceans will dry entirely
	
	e. that the mountains will melt into sweet water oceans
	
	b. That the warming of the world's oceans is not a threat.
	
	c. That not enough is being done about global warming.
	 
	a. That ocean waters have warmed faster than scientists had previously thought.

Hi Rebecca,
How ARE you?! It's been ages!! I thought I'd drop you a line seeing as I'm stuck in the airport with nothing to do but make use of the free Wi-Fi.
Not that writing to you isn't top of my list of things to do, of course ;) but I've been totally snowed under at work, plus all the family stuff that's been going on ... Anyway, I'm just about to go on a much-needed holiday so I really can't complain!
But tell me: what have you been up to? I saw Carol a couple of months ago - don't know if you heard what happened with her job but it made me feel grateful I only slightly hate mine - and she was saying your book is going to be published?! GREAT news!!! Send me a link and I'll definitely buy it and leave a five-star review :)
As for me, same old, same old re: job. Maggie and I broke up a while ago, as you know, but we're getting on much better now and it's working out far better for the kids. No-one new on the horizon but I'm off to Canada travelling for a month (if this plane ever leaves!) so who knows?!
Actually, I'll be flying over your house in a few hours. I'll wave! Let's make a plan to see each other when I get back, OK?
Hope life's treating you well!
Lots of love,
Sarah

Hi Rebecca,
How ARE you?! It's been ages!! I thought I'd drop you a line seeing as I'm stuck in the airport with nothing to do but make use of the free Wi-Fi.
Not that writing to you isn't top of my list of things to do, of course ;) but I've been totally snowed under at work, plus all the family stuff that's been going on ... Anyway, I'm just about to go on a much-needed holiday so I really can't complain!
But tell me: what have you been up to? I saw Carol a couple of months ago - don't know if you heard what happened with her job but it made me feel grateful I only slightly hate mine - and she was saying your book is going to be published?! GREAT news!!! Send me a link and I'll definitely buy it and leave a five-star review :)
As for me, same old, same old re: job. Maggie and I broke up a while ago, as you know, but we're getting on much better now and it's working out far better for the kids. No-one new on the horizon but I'm off to Canada travelling for a month (if this plane ever leaves!) so who knows?!
Actually, I'll be flying over your house in a few hours. I'll wave! Let's make a plan to see each other when I get back, OK?
Hope life's treating you well!
Lots of love,
Sarah

To Whom It May Concern,
 
It gives me great pleasure to recommend Sarah Morgan Silva for an MA in Education at the University of Sussex. I was Ms. Silva's professor of Teaching Methodologies in Portuguese as a Second Language for a semester in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (August-December 2015) and during that period, I had the chance to notice her great performance throughout the lectures. The course comprises a set of complex issues (i.e. approaches and methods, uses of some digital technologies as mediating tools, lesson planning, etc.), which demands a lot of dedication, focus, and several hours of hard work and Ms. Silva  demonstrated both maturity and commitment to her studies.
In relation to all classroom activities and assignments, Ms. Silva always did her work conscientiously, besides continuously seeking out additional information on how to become a better professional and education. She also had a great capacity for fulfilling her responsibilities in a variety of activities, always looking forward to succeeding in all assessments. 
Personally, I find Sarah Morgan Silva to be an intelligent, organized and articulate person, who is self-motivated and demonstrates great interest in educational issues. I strongly recommend her for the course aforementioned, and I am happy to amplify on any details if you wish. 
 
Yours faithfully,
 
John Peterson

	 3a 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?
		
	 
	a. That ocean waters have warmed faster than scientists had previously thought.
	
	e. that the mountains will melt into sweet water oceans
	
	d. That the oceans will dry entirely
	
	b. That the warming of the world's oceans is not a threat.
	
	c. That not enough is being done about global warming.

	In the age of technology, there are some examples of written texts that use the forms of spoken language. One of them is sms messages or messaging apps. Which linguistic characteristic below does NOT fit this type of technology?
		
	 
	Formally structured sentences.
	
	Rules of written grammar and punctuation are often ignored.
	
	Abbreviations are used.
	
	Emojis and images can be used to convey emotions and ideas.
	
	Even spoken language is used in the format of audio recording. 
	Respondido em 17/05/2020 12:51:46
	
Explicação:
Nowadays the internet and the cellphone apps have taken over a great majority of communication between people. The sms messages and the messaging apps, not to mention e-mails, use forms of spoken language to exchange information in a rapid manner. In these cases, rules of written grammar and punctuation are often ignored while also making great use of non-verbal imagery to deliver ideas, such as emojis and images. Formally structured sentences are definitely not a typical characteristic.

	Guy
	Respondido em 17/05/2020 12:57:15
	
Explicação:
Because of a writing system that incorporates etymology, spelling cues not present in oral discourse can give readers additional clues to the relationship between words through a vague awareness of different morphological classes.
Anglo-Saxon words are usually characterised by a cloudy morphology (early\ere), wildly unphonemic spelling, and the presence of silent letters and digraphs. Common affixes are ¿un-¿, ¿-ful¿, and ¿-ness¿. These are the most common words used to describe everyday, informal and interpersonal matters.
Romance words are also common and bear closer resemblance to French morphemes and words (very\vrais). There is often more regularity in their spelling.
Latinate and Greek words are set apart from Romance words by very methodical morphology, Classical Latin and Greek morphemes, and consistent spelling. They usually have rigid definitions and are used more frequently in formal and scientific writing as well as in constructing technical, philosophical, and legal jargon.

	 3a Questão
	
	
	
	
	Mark the only sentence which has a transitive verb with two objects:
		
	
	Carlos sent  a perfect e-mail!
	 
	Renata wrote wonderful messages to her students.
	
	Dalila studied the lessons very carefully.
	
	Julia read all the answers.
	
	Christiane chose a terrific gift!
	Respondido em 17/05/2020 17:27:58
	
Explicação:
 According to certain linguistics considerations, these objects may be called direct and indirect, or primary and secondary. English has a number of generally ditransitive verbs, such as give and grant, and many transitive verbs that can take an additional argument (commonly a beneficiary or target of the action), such as pass, read, bake, etc.:
He gave Mary ten dollars.
He passed Paul the ball.
Jean read him the books.
She is baking him a cake.
 
English grammar allows for these sentences to be written alternately with a preposition (to or for):
He gave ten dollars to Mary.
He passed the ball to Paul.
Jean read the books to/for him.
She is baking a cake for him., etc.

	 2a Questão
	
	
	
	
	Coherence can be achieved in a number of ways, except:
		
	 
	Always replacing nouns with pronouns
	
	Arranging your ideas in logical order
	
	Repeating key nouns
	
	Using consistent pronouns
	
	Using transition signals to link ideas
	Respondido em 17/05/2020 20:59:03
	
Explicação:
Using consistent pronouns has to do with substituting nouns with pronouns in an effective way. A text that does not use pronouns to some extent will come across as overly repetitive. The important part when using pronouns is to be consistent by using the same person and number throughout the paragraph or text.
Repeat key nouns. Even if nouns typically are the words that should be repeated, also words from other word classes can be repeated if they are central to the topic of the text. There is no set rule as to how often a key noun can be repeated - the guiding principle must be clarity and an avoidance of making the reader feel that there is too much repetition. An alternative to repeating a key noun over and over is to use another noun that has the same, or at least very similar, meaning: a synonym.
Logical order - any academic text will be incomprehensible unless the ideas expressed in it are arranged in some sort of logical fashion.
Transition signals (sometimes called linking words or linking adverbials) ¿ it has to do with the use of specific words and phrases that evoke links and transition between ideas.
Always replacing nouns with pronouns ¿ not correct. This replacement should be done only when necessary and in an effective way.

	Read the text below:
"Despite its accessibility, there are some issues with the book. In the introduction, the authors state 'the book assumes that the acquisition and use of second languages is a normal part of human life, something that needs looking at scientifically because we know little about it and often depend upon folk wisdom for our views about'. I understand this to mean that the text will focus on clarifying matters by avoiding folk wisdom. However, there are several areas where the chapters present generalizations that can really confuse and bias a novice reader."

	Respondido em 17/05/2020 21:04:24
	
Explicação:
The use of pronouns avoids repetition. Personal reference, for instance I, you, she, they (subject pronouns), him, her, us (object pronoun), my, your (possessive pronoun), or ours, theirs, hers (reflexive pronoun). 'Personal reference is reference by means of function in the speech situation. through the category of PERSON'.

	 8a Questão
	
	
	
	
	To achieve cohesion, the link of one sentence to the next, we need to consider some writing techniques. Choose the one which is wrong:
		
	 
	Pro-forms. Use a connector to link the sentences in order to make them coordinative or subordinate.
	
	Collocation. Use a commonly paired or expected or highly probable word to connect one sentence to another.
	
	Repetition. In sentence B (the second of any two sentences), repeat a word from sentence A.
	
	Synonym. If direct repetition is too obvious, use a synonym of the word you wish to repeat. This strategy is called 'elegant variation.'
	
	Antonym. Using the 'opposite' word, an antonym, can also create sentence cohesion, since in language antonyms actually share more elements of meaning than you might imagine.
	Respondido em 17/05/2020 21:06:17
	
Explicação:
Pro-forms. Use a pronoun, pro-verb, or another pro-form to make explicit reference back to a form mentioned earlier.
