Estratgias de Leitura Principalmente em concursos, quando no

tais estratgias se tornam extremamente teis. Assim como ler
primeiro as questes pode fazer voc economizar tempo j que h
perguntas de gramtica que no dependero da leitura total do
texto para serem resolvidas h tambm formas diferentes de
olharmos um texto.
Skimming - Ler um texto rapidamente para buscar as idias
principais (aqui, no h preocupao com as palavras que no se
sabe, apenas buscamos a ideia geral do texto).
Scanning - Ler um texto para encontrar uma informao especfica
(aqui, utilizamos palavras chave que tenham aparecido no
enunciado da questo e procuramos as mesmas no texto. Lemos
apenas esse pedao em busca da informao necessria).
Prediction - Inferimos o assunto do texto atravs de um trecho, uma
imagem ou do ttulo apenas. Essa estratgia serve como pr-leitura,
aumentando a curiosidade e interesse a respeito do texto. Claro que
deve ser evitada em concursos, por nem sempre ajudar a responder
as perguntas. As duas primeiras estratgias podem ser utilizadas em
conjunto para se trabalhar a compreenso e para otimizar o
processo de resposta.
Tais estratgias sero utilizadas com vocs em sala, para
que possam utiliz-las tambm sozinhos no estudo de textos em
casa.

olhos a partir das dicas dadas aqui. apenas o comeo do trabalho
que, se levado a srio, produzir bons frutos nos concursos que

1 The difficulty for health policy makers the world overis
this: it is simply not possible to promote healthier lifestyles
through presidential decree or through being overprotective
4 towards people and the way they choose to live. Recent history
has proved that one-size-fits-all solutions are no good when
public health challenges vary from one area of the country to
7 the next. But we cannot sit back while, in spite of all this, so
many people are suffering such severe lifestyle-driven ill health
and such acute health inequalities.

In the text above,
the author suggests that some public health policies that have
already been used did not work.

1 Public health is what we, as a society, do collectively
to assure the conditions for people to be healthy. This requires
that continuing and emerging threats to the health of the public

crises, such as the AIDS epidemic; enduring problems, such as
injuries and chronic illnesses; and growing challenges, such as
7 the aging of the populations and the toxic by-products of a
modern economy, transmitted through air, water, soil, or food.
These and many other problems raise in common the need to
10 protect the nations health through effective, organized, and
sustained efforts led by the public sector.

The author suggests that in a modern economy the public and
private sectors must work closely together to protect a nations
health.
( ) Certo ( )Errado

take a very long time to be solved.
