LEITURA E REDAÇÃO EM LÍNGUA INGLESA

1. 
 
 
Read the text below: 
"It is the overall meaning, the core idea, of a spoken 
or written discourse. When taking a quick look at a 
written text to establish its genre and the main 
message its writer means to get across, we are 
reading to get the general idea of a text. This is also 
known synonymous of skimming. A text can provide 
readers with lots of clues that help readers quickly 
establish what it is about. These need not be just 
the words. A quick glance at the arrangement 
- densely written columns, for example - can tell us 
we are looking at a newspaper article, even when it 
is been reproduced in an exam paper. We also look 
for visuals or any other discrete discourse features 
to help us make informed predictions". 
► The previous text provides an important 
concept. Which one? 
 
 Reading for specific information 
 Scanning 
 Extensive reading 
 Reading for gist 
 Reading for detail 
 
 
 
Explicação: 
As the text mentions the idea of "an overall meaning", this 
is synonymous of reading for gist.

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 submitting 
any 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 
https://simulado.estacio.br/bdq_simulados_exercicio.asp
 
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. 
 
The Student Services Office familiarises students with the 
student code. 
 It is never acceptable to paraphrase closely. 
 
Cheats will automatically be expelled because their behaviour 
cannot be condoned. 
 
If students want to use other students' laboratory data, 
they must ask them and the lecturer first.

According to what we have studied about text 
types, mark the RIGHT definition about them: 
 
 
Injunctive texts - texts which develop themselves by means 
of logical resources. 
 
Descriptive texts - texts used to give information about 
something. 
 
Argumentative texts - express an order given by the author 
to the reader.

Expository texts - description of reality or fiction which they 
are based on. 
 
Narrative texts - describe real or imaginary happenings 
which, to a certain extent, are linked to each other.

Mark the option which is FALSE according to these 
characteristics. The successful reader: 
 
 reads aloud; 
 reads in broad phrases; 
 keeps the meaning of the passage in mind while reading; 
 has a positive self-concept as a reader; 
 skips inconsequential or less important words;

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? 
 
 Because Rembrandt was very young when he painted it. 
 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. 
 
 
 
Explicação: 
Theythought it was a fake = The auction house thought the 
portrait was a 17th century Rembrandt knockoff, and valued it at 
just $3,100. 
knockoff = a copy that sells for less than the 
original; broadly : a copy or imitation of someone or 
something popular.

sample of argumentative paragraphs would include 
all your reasons for believing something. You

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.

Narrative texts are types of texts, not text genres.

Read the text below: 
 
 
MY PARENTS: AN INTRODUCTION/THIS DOES 
NOT BELONG TO YOU, by Aleksandar Hemon. 
 
In this two-in-one autobiographical volume - the 
book has two front covers, and its halves have been 
placed back-to-back rather than sequentially - the 
Bosnian-born Hemon writes about his parents and 
his own youth in 1970s Sarajevo. His parents 
eventually emigrated to Canada, while Hemon 
settled in Chicago. "Like Hemon¿s fiction, the real-
life stories in 'My Parents' are so exquisitely 
constructed that their scaffolding is invisible," our 
critic Jennifer Szalai writes. "You get the sense that 
he is trying to understand his parents in a way that 
his younger self did not."
