pode ser o verbo principal em uma oração ou um verbo auxiliar. Neste módulo, veremos

PRONOUNS
Personal Pronouns – Subject and Object

Utilizamos os pronouns para substituir um ou mais nomes em um texto. Este(s) nome(s)


pode(m) ter sido citado(s) no texto anteriormente ou não.

Subject Pronoun Object Pronouns


- Utilizado antes de verbos, com função de - Utilizado depois de verbos e
sujeito. preposições, com função de
objeto.
I (eu) me
Singular She (ela), He (ele), It (ela/ele)* Her, him, it
You (você) you
We (nós) us
Plural They (eles/elas) them
You (vocês) you

 IT – utilizado para falar sobre coisas, países, animais.


 YOU – não difere em sua forma singular e plural.
 THEY – não se difere em gênero. Se não houver certeza se estamos falando de
um homem ou uma mulher, utilizamos THEY.

Examples:

This is Jack. He’s my brother. I don’t think you have met him.
Subj.– antes do verbo. Subj. – antes do verbo Obj. – depois do verbo.

Talk to a friend. Ask them to help you.


Obj. – depois do verbo

You could go to a doctor. They might help you.


She is waiting for me. Obj. – Depois de prep.
Possessives – Possessive Adjective x Possessive Pronoun
A forma mais comum de indicar posse em inglês é por meio dos Possessive Adjectives
(my, your, etc.). Eles são chamados assim pois modificam o nome, da mesma forma que
um adjetivo. Você pode falar que o carro é azul ou grande. Mas pode falar também que o
carro é seu. Exemplo:
This is my car.

 Os Possessive Adjectives irão sempre vir a frente do substantivo.

Possessive Adjectives
I This is my brother.
She That’s her dictionary.
He His name is Kevin.
It The cat is playing with its ball.
You (sing.) Is that your newspaper?
We Our car is broken
You (plu.) Kids, don’t forget to drink your juice.
They Their grandmother is in the garden.

Temos também a possibilidade de utilizar um Possessive Pronouns para substituir algo


que já foi mencionado no contexto. Se eu pergunto: “de quem é aquele carro?” não é
necessário alguém responder “o carro é meu”, pois, no contexto, todos sabemos de que
objeto estamos falando. Neste caso, utilizamos um pronome para substituir um nome.

 Os possessive pronouns não acompanham substantivos (pois eles o


substituem)

Possessive Pronouns
I Stay at your home, and I stay at mine. (my home = mine)
She My camera is broken, so I’m going to use hers. (her camera = hers)
He This is not my problem. It’s his. (his problem = his)
It Look for vulnerabilities—its and ours (its vulnerability = its) *não
muito utilizado como possessive pronoun.
You (sing.) That’s not my book. It’s yours. (your book = yours)

Pronouns: Reflexive and Reciprocal

● Reflexive Pronouns - Quando o sujeito e o objeto da ação são iguais. Observe:


I cut my finger. (eu cortei meu próprio dedo. Sendo assim) = I cut myself (eu cortei a mim
mesma).

Observe mais exemplos:


I looked at myself in the mirror. I enjoyed myself at the movies.

Personal Pronouns Reflexive Pronouns

My mother was talking to herself when I got home.
He cooked the dinner himself.
We were studying by ourselves.
The kids cleaned the house themselves.
Are you going to do it yourself? (singular)

Podemos, também, utilizar o pronome reflexivo para:

She lives by herself in that huge house.


She walked home by herself.

● dar ênfase ao sujeito ou ao objeto na frase.

I liked the book itself.


Vinhedo itself is a small town.
Hitler poisoned his dog himself.

Temos também expressões idiomáticas com os pronomes


reflexivos:
Enjoy yourself Behave yourself
Spread yourself to thin Help yourself

Quando NÃO usar o pronome reflexivo:


● Após preposição de lugar (preposition of place) - Usar OBJECT PRONOUN
He had a suitcase beside him.
She put the chair near her.

● Utilizar PERSONAL PRONOUN com a preposição WITH quando esta quer dizer
COM/EM COMPANHIA DE
She had a few friends with her.

Reciprocal pronouns: Each Other / One Another


Each Other é o pronome que passa a ideia de reciprocidade. Observe:
They were in love. They looked at each other for a long time.
A Ideia, neste caso, é que um olhou o outro, simultaneamente.

Podemos também utilizar one another para passar a mesma ideia.


How long have you known one another? = How long have you known each other?
Sue and Ann don’t like one another. = They don’t like each other.

SOME, ANY, NO; ONE/ONES

SOME/ANY/NO são utilizados como determinantes, seja para substituir um nome, seja
para dar ideia de uma quantidade não específica.

● SOME: comumente utilizado com afirmativas e ofertas. Também utilizado em


perguntas que esperamos que a resposta seja afirmativa.
“Do you want some cake?”
“I’d like some cake.”
“Can I have some soda, please?”

● ANY: comumente utilizado com negativas e interrogativas.


“Do you have any money?”
“I don’t have any money.”

Exceções: I’m starved. I’d like to eat anything. (na afirmativa indicando: “qualquer”)

● NO: indica uma ideia negativa, porém não pode ser utilizado com verbos na
negativa (double negative). Observe:
I have no money in my pocket. (não “I don’t have no money”)
She had no difficult finging a job. (não “She didn’t have no difficult”)

SOME/ANY/NO + THING/WHERE/ONE/BODY

Podemos, também, ter complementos com os pronomes indefinidos. Observe:

THING - coisas, objetos WHERE - lugares ONE/BODY - pessoas


Somebody broke the
I want something to eat.
They live somewhere window yesterday.
SOME near the beach.
There’s something in my eye,
I saw someone in the
but I don’t know what it is.
garden!
ANY You can tell me anything. I’m going to stay at Do you know anyone

“What did you say?” “I didn’t going anywhere.
say anything.” Did you see anybody
in the company?
This house is empty.
I’m going to the supermarket. Nobody lives here.
This town is so small.
NO There’s nothing to eat in the
There’s nowhere to go.
fridge. I’m lonely. I have no-
one to talk to.

● ONE/ONES: pronomes utilizados para substituir substantivos que já foram


mencionados anteriormente, para evitar repetição. Observe:

1- “Which car is yours?” “This car or that car?” “Mine is the blue car.”
2- “Which car is yours?” “ This one or that one?” “Mine is the blue one."

1- “Which keys are hers?” “The keys on the table.”


2- “Which keys are hers?” “The ones on the table.”

Nos casos 1, as palavras car e keys se repetem, tornando o discurso cansativo. Nos
casos 2, substituímos os substantivos para evitar a repetição de termos. Atente para o
singular (one) e plural (ones).

WH Question Pronouns
 Pronomes interrogativos. Resposta para essas perguntas não podem ser YES ou
NO. Eles DEVEM ser seguidos com ponto de interrogaçãoao final da frase. São eles:
Who (person) – Who is at the door? What (things/general information) – What
Where (place) – Where do you live? do you do in the morning?
When (date/non-specific time) – When areWhich (things; options) – Which book is
you leaving? yours: the new one or the old one?
Why (reason; answer with ‘because’) –What ....like (description) – What’s your
Why were you there? mother like? “ She’s beautiful and nice.”
Whose (possession) – Whose sneakersHow (manner)* - How are you? / How do
are these? you go to work?
* Podemos utilizar How + adjectivos/advérbios. Sendo assim, cada complemento
altera seu significado.

Example: How old is you dog? (age) / How long do you take to get here? (period of
time)/ How often do you study English? (frequency) / How much is that car?
(price) / How many people are there in the classroom? (quantity)

 Estrutura: WH + auxiliar + sujeito + verbo principal + complemento


Where do you study?
Who is your teacher?
Why does she go to school by bus?

 Em alguns casos, o WH necessita de um complemento


Which school does your cousin study?
What band is your favorite?

Genetive Case (‘s)


 Utilizamos o ‘s para indicar posse. É utilizado com pessoas, animais, lugares,
organizações e expressões de tempo.

Estrutura: possessor + ‘s + objeto possuido.

Example:
The boy’s name / the woman’s daughter / my father’s motorcycle / the government’s
decision / the bird’s egg / Mr. Smith’s car / today’s newspaper / the dog’s ball

 Em alguns casos, podemos utilizar a estrutura possuidor + of + objeto. É mais


utilizada com objetos e com coisas abstratas.
the name of the book / the back of the car / in the name of love
 Quando um nome próprio termina com S, temos a opção de acrescentar ‘s ou
apenas ‘ (apostrofo).
Mr. Jones’s book ou Mr. Jones’ book.
Marcos’s eyes ou Marcos’ eyes.
Mrs. Williams’s office ou Mrs. Williams’ office.

 Quando temos um substantivo no plural, terminando em S, SÓ


ACRESCENTAMOS ‘ (apostrofo).
The students’ uniform. / the companies’ staff / the nurses’ wordplace.
Porém,
 Quando temos um substantivo de plural irregular (que não termina em S),
acrescentamos o ‘s.
The women’s closet. / the children’s toys. / men’s restroom.
 Utilizamos ‘s também para denotar duas posses. Podemos utilizar um ou mais ‘s
para expressar posse. Compare:
(1) Jim e Jill’s father. X (2) Jim’s and Jill’s fathers.
No primeiro caso, entendemos que Jim e Jill são irmãos, uma vez que father está no
singular e só existe um ‘s denotando posse, ao final do último nome.
Já no segundo, temos dois ‘s ao final de cada nome, e fathers está no plural.
Portanto, um pai para cada pessoa.
- Compare novamente:
(1) Jim and Jill’s house. X (2) Jim’s and Jill’s cars.
No primeiro caso, Jim and Jill moram juntos, portanto uma casa para duas pessoas.
No segundo, Jim and Jill possuem 2 carros, uma para cada.

- Mais exemplos:
(1) Charles an Susan’s wedding. X (2) John’s and James’ invitation.
(1) Jackie and Nicole’s parents. X (2) Jackie’s and Nicole’s rooms.

- Sendo assim:
Muitos possuidores + uma posse = 1 ‘s, no elemento final.
Muitos possuidoes + mais de uma posse = ‘s em todos os elementos.

Many graduates earn ‘paltry returns’ for their degree

Mr Halfon, a former skills minister, stated in his speech that the nation has “become
obsessed _____(1)_____ full academic degrees”.
“We are creating a higher education system that overwhelmingly favours academic
degrees, while intermediate and higher technical offerings are comparatively tiny. The
labour market does not need an ever-growing supply of academic degrees. Between a
fifth and a third of our graduates take non-graduate jobs. The extra return for having a
degree varies wildly according to subject and institution. For many, the returns are
paltry.”
Mr Halfon said that there is a strong need for intermediate skills. “There are skills
shortages in several sectors. And there are millions _____(2)_____ people who want
to get on in life – preferably without spending £50,000 on academic degrees,” he
added. “There has been growing concern about the amount of debt students are
accumulating and the interest being charged on that debt.”
A spokesman for UUK (a representative organisation for the UK’s universities) said:
“Official figures are clear that, on average, university graduates continue to earn
substantially more than non-graduates and are more likely to be in employment. A
university degree remains an excellent investment.”
“We must, however, be careful to avoid using graduate salaries as the single measure
of success in higher education. Many universities specialise in fields such
_____(3)_____ the arts, the creative industries, nursing and public sector professions
that, despite making an essential contribution to society and the economy, pay less on
average.”

Resposta da questão 8: [E]


A expressão to be obsessed exige a preposição with.
O numeral millions exige a preposição of.
A expressão such exige a a preposição as, pois transmite a ideia de exemplificação.

Resposta da questão 9: [D]


A primeira lacuna deve ser completada por at, pois se trata de um evento específico.
A segunda lacuna deve ser completada por in, pois se refere a uma cidade.
A terceira lacuna deve ser completada por from, pois o trecho possui a noção de
distância (10 minutos de distância do parque temático Epcot).

Resposta da questão 10: [B]


[I] Gramaticalmente incorreta. O verbo to discuss não deve ser seguido de
preposição.
[II] Gramaticalmente correta. O verbo to depend exige a preposição on.
[III] Gramaticalmente correta. O verbo to succeed exige a preposição in.
[IV] Gramaticalmente incorreta. O verbo to blame exige a preposição for.
[V] Gramaticalmente incorreta. A preposição to não deve ser usada.

Resposta da questão 11: [D]


A alternativa correta é a [D], pois o phrasal verb to look after significa tomar conta,
cuidar. Tradução do trecho: Sejamos honestos, todos nós poderíamos cuidar melhor
de nós mesmos. E se você seguir esses truques simples de bem-estar para encher
seu corpo de saúde, você em breve sentirá os benefícios.

Resposta da questão 12: [D]


A expressão to be based exige a preposição on. A preposição from confere à oração
a noção de distanciamento, uma vez que Swan deve ficar longe dos vampiros (far
from). A preposição at pode ser usada para falar sobre locais específicos (Paramount
Pictures). A preposição on deve ser usada quando falamos de datas em que pelo
menos o dia e o mês são mencionados.

Resposta da questão 13: [B]


A alternativa [B] está correta, pois as preposições completam corretamente as
lacunas. O uso de in (em, no, na) se justifica pela presença do substantivo disaster
(desastre). Com relação à preposição along (ao longo de), seu uso é justificado pela
presença do substantivo river (rio).

Resposta da questão 14: [B]


A alternativa [B] está correta, pois a preposição like confere a ideia de similaridade,
comparação. Tradução: "ele é um bom artista e canta como um profissional quando
está no palco". Isso significa que ele não é um profissional, porém quando está no
palco se comporta de modo semelhante a um.

Resposta da questão 15: [D]


A alternativa [D] está correta, pois o verbo to return forma uma colocação com a
preposição from, podendo ser traduzido como "retornar de".

Resposta da questão 16: [A]


A alternativa [A] está correta, pois completa as lacunas com as preposições
adequadas. A primeira lacuna deve ser completada por in, pois Hannah trabalha
dentro do escritório. A segunda lacuna deve ser completada por at, pois há referência
a um horário. A terceira lacuna deve ser completada por to, pois refere-se ao verbo
go. A quarta lacuna deve ser completada por on, pois se refere a um dia da semana.
Por fim, a última lacuna deve ser completada por on, se trata do fim de semana.

Simple Present
Tempo verbal utilizado para falar sobre rotina, verdades universais.
Examples: Doctors and nurses work at hospitals. – verdade universal.

(he, she, it).

His brother lives in Canada. (his brother = he)

o TO.
I get up early on Monday.
My friends drive very well. (my friends = they)
We drink a lot of coffee every morning.
You play basketball.

 Na forma interrogativa, acrescentamos DO (I, you, We, They) ou DOES (she, he,
it). Esses irão à frente do sujeito. Não conjugamos o verbo na 3ª pessoa do sing.
Do you have relatives in Italy?
Does he understand Spanish?

 Na forma negativa, devemos acrescentar DO NOT = DON’T (I, you, we, they) ou
DOES NOT = DOESN’T (he, she, it). Neste último caso, não conjugamos o verbo!
I don’t get up early.
The shopping mall doesn’t open at 8.
His brother doesn’t live in Canada.
We don’t drink a lot of coffee.

Reading Comprehension
(EPCAR - 2014 - Adaptada)
WHAT IS OFFSHORE ENGLISH?
Offshore English is a term used by many people for international English (I). It is the
English spoken and written by non-native speakers in international communication (II).
Many in business are starting to worry that native speakers are actually at a
disadvantage in international communication. A good example of this situation was
when a company tried to sell flight simulators to South Korea, where a French
company won the contract because the buyers found it easier to understand the
English that the French people spoke than the English spoken by the British company.
Many native English speakers feel little necessity to learn foreign languages, so they
often don’t understand the difficulties and problems learners have. They also don’t see
(1) the need to modify their language for a foreign audience, so they use (2) idioms,
synonyms, colloquialisms, phrasal verbs, etc, and don’t think (3) of the impact this has
(4) on a foreign businessperson.
The English studied by non-native speakers tends to use a more simple vocabulary,
and considering the similarities in courses in many parts of the world, emphasized by a
small number of course books (Headway Series) and the domination of a few
examinations, for example TOEFL, etc. This means that non-native speakers from
different countries and cultures sometimes understand each other more easily than the
native speaker. Few native speakers outside the world of ESL (English as a Second
language) teaching have much idea of what non-native learners assimilate, and think
that as their English is native speaker level, they speak it better than their non-native
counterparts. Because of this, companies are offering courses in
Offshore English to native speakers to train them to speak the type of English that will
make it easier for non-native speakers to understand. So they will gain more contracts.

Past Continuous

Usamos Past Continuous para enfatizar uma ação que estava em progresso e um
determinado momento no passado, porém já está finalizada. Observe:

I was jogging this morning.


PAST
The kids were doing the homework in the afternoon.

● Estrutura: verb be no passado + verbo com -ING (as regras de ING são as
mesmas apresentadas no módulo 4)
They were watching TV.
Jannet was eating popcorn during the movie.
Estrutura
Afirmativa: My friends and I were studying for the test.

Subj. + verb be (past) + main verb(ING) The teacher was explaining the topic.
My friends and I weren’t (were not) studying
Negativa:
for the test.
Subj. + verb be + NOT + main
The teacher wasn’t (was not) explaining the
verb(ING)
topic.
Were your friends and you studying for the
Interrogativa: test?

Verb be + Subj. + main verb(ING) Was the teacher explaining the topic?

Past Continuous x Simple Past

● Usualmente, o passado contínuo é utilizado para contrastar com o passado simples


quando estamos em uma narrativa. Observe:

I was walking down the street when I saw the accident.

Temos dois momentos nessa sentença. O primeiro é uma ação longa, e o segundo é
pontual.

I was walking down the street. (long action) x


PAST
I saw the accident. (short action)

Temos, então, o contraste de uma ação que estava em progresso (past continuous)
quando foi interrompida por outra (past simple). Utilizamos o conector WHEN.
Observe mais exemplos:
I was watching TV when the phone rang. = When the phone range, I was watching TV.
They were driving home when they heard the news. = When they heard the news, the
were driving home.
A ordem das orações pode ser invertida, sem alterar o seu sentido.
● Podemos, também, descrever ações que estavam em andamento simultâneo.
Observe:
Susan was playing video games while Mary was studying for her test.

Susan

Mary
Nesta sentença, temos ambas as ações ocorrendo ao mesmo tempo. Neste caso,
utilizamos o conector WHILE. Observe mais exemplos:

My father was reading while my brother was washing the car. = While my father was
reading, my brother was washing his car.
He was cooking dinner while I was taking a shower. = While I was taking a shower, he
was cooking dinner.
Novamente, a mudança da ordem das orações não altera o sentido.

Connectors (1)

Como mencionamos no módulo anterior, marcadores de discurso são essenciais para


o entendimento de um texto. Como exemplo de marcadores, temos os conectores,
também chamados de conjunctions.
Connectors são palavras ou expressões que ligam duas palavras ou orações
distintas. Observe:
I - I like TV series and movies.
II - I love cartoons, but I don’t like soap operas.
III - I love netflix because I can watch movies all the time.

Na frase I, o termo AND liga duas palavras (TV series AND movies).
Nas frases II e III, as conjunções BUT e BECAUSE estão ligando orações distintas.

Podemos classificar as conjunções pelas ideias que elas transmitem. Abaixo, iremos
citar alguns exemplos:
● Adição: and, besides, in addition to, moreover, as well, too, also
I don’t want to go shopping. Besides, I haven’t got any money.
We bought lots of ice cream for the party, and sweets too. (sempre no final)

● Adversativas: but, however, although, even though, despite, in spite


I’m afraid I can’t come to your wedding. However, I’m going to send you a present.
Although the car was destroyed, no one was injured in the crash.

● Conclusivas: so, thus, therefore, as a result


There weren’t enough beds, so I had to sleep on the floor.
The new boots are lighter and softer, and therefore more comfortable to wear.

● Explicativas: because, since, due to

There be (Fut.)

Como já vimos no módulo 2, utilizamos a estrutura THERE + BE para descrever um


lugar ou situação. Podemos também utilizar esta strutura para fazer previsões futuras,
seja com BE GOING TO seja com WILL. Observe:
In 2050, there will be a huge problem with plastic in the ocean.
In October, there will be a music festival in Rio.
I think there is going to be a party on my street this evening.
- Não conjugamos verbos após WILL /BE GOING TO, portanto o verbo BE fica no
bare infinitive (infinitivo sem o TO).
- Na forma negativa, acrescentamos o NOT na estrutura WILL e GOING TO.
In 2050, there won’t be a huge problem with plastic in the ocean.
In October, there won’t be a music festival in Rio.
I think there isn’t going to be a party on my street this evening.
- Na interrogativa, mudamos a ordem do WILL e do VERB BE.
Will there be a huge problem with plastic in the ocean in 2050?
Will there be a music festival in Rio in October?
Is there going to be a party on your street this evening?

Text Comprehension - Techniques (1)


A melhor forma de estudar para interpretação de textos é lendo. Não tem muito como escapar
de ler textos, até que você se habitue a ler em inglês. Ter um caderno onde você possa fazer
seu dicionário particular também ajuda, pois o processo de escrever as palavras auxilia na
memorização.
Além disso, temos também algumas técnicas gerais para interpretar textos. São elas:
- A estrutura das frases em inglês é, geralmente, sujeito + verbo + complemento. Parece
bobagem, mas em frases longas ou que apresentem muito vocabulário desconhecido pelo leitor,
ter isso em mente facilita a leitura. Observe:
Either the matches or the candles caused the fire in the settlement.
SUJEITO

Você pode não saber que “matches” são palitos de fósforo, ou que “candles” são velas. Porém,
por eles estarem a frente do verbo, é muito provável que eles sejam o sujeito da ação.
- Se você está fazendo uma prova e seu tempo está contado, leia a pergunta primeiro. O
enunciado/as opções podem te fornecer palavras-chave, que facilitam sua leitura. Isso te faz
mais objetivo quando voltar ao texto e facilitará a leitura.
- Outra dica para hora da prova é ler a primeira frase de cada parágrafo, e em alguns casos, a
última também. Usualmente, a ideia principal do parágrafo é apresentada logo de início, sendo
sua conclusão (se houver) ao final.
- O título e a fonte do texto são importante. Ela pode te auxiliar no entendimento do texto, uma
vez que pode te dizer se é um artigo no jornal, uma receita, um artigo de opinião em um blog,
etc. Usualmente, textos mais formais tendem a apresentar mais cognatos verdadeiros (true
friends), enquanto textos mais específicos tendem a apresentar vocabulário mais complexo por
ser, bem, específico.
- Se você não estiver fazendo uma prova, leia o texto direto. Resista a tentação de parar em
cada palavra para traduzi-la. Recorra a uma leitura rápida do texto (skimming) para que você
consiga se situar em qual tipo de texto você estará trabalhando. Isso te ajudará a ter uma noção
geral e te ajuda a inferir significados para as palavras que você não conhece.
- Depois de ter lido o texto completamente, agora é hora de olhar para as informações
específicas que estão apresentadas no texto (scanning). Aqui, você já leu a questão e já sabe o
que está procurando (ex. um nome, uma data). Não esqueça de grifar o que está procurando
para não se perder depois.
- Se atente ao marcadores de discurso (conectores) palavras em destacadas, siglas entre
parênteses, datas, etc. Estas podem mudar o significado de uma sentença e, se você não
estiver atento, pode perder esta referência.

False Friends
Os falsos cognatos (false friends) são palavras que se assemelham ao português, porém seu
significado difere da nossa língua. Observe:
I don’t like chocolate. Actually, I hate it.
Nesta frase, temos duas palavras que se assemelham ao português na escrita, porém somente
uma tem o significado semelhante ao português. A palavra “actually” significa “na verdade”.
portanto, na frase, temos “Eu não gosto de chocolate. Na verdade, odeio”.
Como, então, você irá saber se a palavra é um cognato verdadeiro ou não? Bom, os cognatos
verdadeiros são mais numerosos do que os falsos. Portanto, da mesma forma que os verbos
irregulares, quanto mais você memorizar os false friends, menos você irá se enganar quando
estiver lendo um texto. Abaixo, você tem uma lista dos false friends mais comuns:
Existem, também, casos de ambiguidade lexical, onde uma palavra em inglês pode agir como
cognato em um contexto, e como falso cognato em outro. Observe a tabela:

The Effects of Stress
There is a famous expression in English: "Stop the world, I want to get off!" This expression
refers to a feeling of panic, or stress, that makes a person want to stop whatever they are doing,
try to relax, and become calm again. 'Stress' means pressure or tension. It is one of the most
common causes of health problems in modern life. Too much stress results in physical,
emotional, and mental health problems.
There are numerous physical effects of stress. Stress can affect the heart. It can increase the
pulse rate, make the heart miss beats, and can cause high blood pressure. Stress can affect the
respiratory system. It can lead to asthma. It can cause a person to breathe too fast, resulting in a
loss of important carbon dioxide. Stress can affect the stomach. It can cause stomach aches and
problems digesting food. These are only a few examples of the wide range of illnesses and
symptoms resulting from stress.
Emotions are also easily affected by stress. People suffering from stress often feel anxious. They
may have panic attacks. They may feel tired all the time. When people are under stress, they
often overreact to little problems. For example, a normally gentle parent under a lot of stress at
work may yell at a child for dropping a glass of juice. Stress can make people angry, moody, or
nervous.
Long-term stress can lead to a variety of serious mental illnesses. Depression, an extreme
feeling of sadness and hopelessness, can be the result of continued and increasing stress.
Alcoholism and other addictions often develop as a result of overuse of alcohol or drugs to try to
relieve stress. Eating disorders, such as anorexia, are sometimes caused by stress and are often
made worse by stress. If stress is allowed to continue, then one's mental health is put at risk.
It is obvious that stress is a serious problem. It attacks the body. It affects the emotions.
Untreated, it may eventually result in mental illness. Stress has a great influence on the health
and well-being of our bodies, our feelings, and our minds. So, reduce stress: stop the world and
rest for a while.

forced to work – through coercion, or mental or physical threat;
7
owned or controlled by an ’employer’, through mental or physical abuse or the 8threat of abuse;
dehumanised, treated as a commodity or bought and sold as ‘ 9property’;
physically constrained or have restrictions placed on their freedom of 10movement.
Slavery has been a disgraceful aspect of human society for most of human history. However,
Anti-Slavery International has refused to accept that this bloody status quo should be allowed to
persist (Aidan McQuade, former director).
Forms of modern slavery
Purposes of 11exploitation can range from forced prostitution and forced labour to forced marriage
and forced organ removal. Here are the most common forms of modern slavery.
Forced labour – any work or services which people are forced to do against their 12will under the
threat of some form of punishment.
Debt bondage or bonded labour – the world’s most widespread form of slavery, when people
borrow money they cannot repay and are required to work to pay off the debt, then losing control
over the conditions of both their employment and the debt.
Human trafficking– involves transporting, recruiting or harbouring people for the purpose of
exploitation, using violence, threats or coercion.
Descent-based slavery – where people are born into slavery because their ancestors were
captured and enslaved; they remain in slavery by descent.
Child slavery – 13many people often confuse child slavery with child labour, but it is much worse.
14
Whilst child labour is harmful for children and 15hinders their education and development, child
slavery occurs when a child is exploited for someone else’s gain. It can include child trafficking,
child soldiers, child marriage and child domestic slavery.
16
Forced and early marriage – 17when someone is married against their will and cannot leave the
marriage. 18Most child marriages can be considered slavery.
Many forms of slavery have more than one element listed above. For example, human trafficking
often involves advance 19payment for travel and a job abroad, using money often borrowed from
the traffickers. Then, the debt contributes to control of the victims. Once they arrive, victims
cannot leave until they pay off their debt.
Many people think that slavery happens only overseas, in developing countries. In fact, no
country is free from modern slavery, even Britain. The Government estimates that there are tens
of thousands people in modern slavery in the UK.
Modern slavery can affect people of any age, gender or race. However, contrary to a common
20
misconception that everyone can be a victim of slavery, some groups of 21people are much
more vulnerable to slavery than others.
People who live in 22poverty and have limited opportunities for decent work are more vulnerable
to accepting deceptive job offers that can turn exploitative. People who are discriminated against
on the basis of race, caste, or gender are also more likely to be enslaved. Slavery is also more
likely to occur where the rule of law is weaker and corruption is rife. Anti-Slavery International
believes that we have to 23tackle the root causes of slavery in order to end slavery for good.
That’s why we published our Anti-Slavery Charter, listing comprehensive measures 24that need to
be taken to end slavery across the world.

SOME OF THE INTERNET'S CRAZIEST CONSPIRACY THEORIES

Michael Jackson Is Still Alive


1
The advent of the internet hasn't just 2cooked up new conspiracy theories, it's also accelerated
existing ones. If you refuse to believe that it was the Iranians that killed him, perhaps you'll be
convinced that MJ is actually still alive. Proof? 3His own daughter Paris Jackson took a photo of
him. Seriously. What do you mean you don't see him? 4He's right there in the back seat, 5stacked
under that pile of clothes wearing his iconic hat. Believe, man. Thriller Vol.2 to drop next year.

The Moon Doesn't Exist


It's no good looking at it, night after night. The moon doesn't exist. It's a hologram, put there by
persons unknown. Of course, serial conspiracy theorist David Icke has a theory. There are also
countless YouTubers keeping an eye out, one of whom has gone as far as "looking at it regularly
for a year".
Jay Z Is A Time-Travelling Vampire
There are vast regions of the internet devoted to explaining why Jay Z is part of the Illuminati.
6
Hence when this photo, which was taken in New York in 1939, appeared last year, he was
accused of being a time-traveller. And a vampire. This video lists other old-time celebrity
7
lookalikes, as well as suggesting that 8Hollywood stars don't age because they're the immortal
bloodsucking undead. Not because they're 9stuffed with botox, then?

The Earth Is Hollow


10 11
Don't give up, readers. We're halfway through this list. We can make it to the end. Dig deep.
Well, not 12too deep. You see, the Earth is 13hollow and accessible via portals at the north and
south poles. Luckily though, it's quite habitable down there, providing excellent living 14quarters
for the lost Viking colonies of Greenland and the Nazis, while "aliens" are in fact just visitors from
the subterranean areas.

Siri Can Predict The Apocalypse


Amazing as it may seem, given that 15it can't do anything else you actually ask it to do, Siri can
predict the apocalypse. When asked "What day is 27th July 2014?", Apple's assistant replied,
"The opening of the gate of Hades", 16aka The End Of The World. That date has now passed
without 17issue. Say what you like about the maligned MS Office paperclip, but at least he didn't
18
scaremonger that the end was near.

19
We All Live In The Matrix And Billionaires Want To Break Us Out Of It
The New Yorker’s Tad Friend claims that many people in Silicon Valley are obsessed with the
idea that we're all living in a Matrix-like simulation, and some are taking that obsession a stage
20
further: “Two tech billionaires have gone so far as to secretly engage scientists to work on
breaking us out of the simulation.” Here's hoping Mark Zuckerberg is 'The One', yeah?

Hitler Is Still Alive


"21Hitler is still alive" rumours have circulated since the 1970s, fuelled by the fact that his crony
Josef Mengele hid in South America. Stories like this one, however, speculate the 125-year-old
Hitler has been responsible for various world disasters, including 9/11 and the 2010 Gulf oil spill,
which happened on his birthday. Other theories say he died in 1984 in Brazil, aged 94. Or in
Argentina, aged 73.

Most Common Prejudices

What are some of the most common ways people discriminate against each other? Some of the
areas where people show their intolerance are well-known, such as race. But 1others are less
2
acknowledged, even if more common:

Age: 3Ageism is more common than you think. Older people are thought to be inflexible and
4
stuck in the past, while younger people are seen as inexperienced and naive. 5One-fifth of
working adults say they experience ageism in the 6workplace.
Class: Classism usually takes the form of discrimination by wealthier people against those who
are less well off. However, classism goes both ways – people of lower economic status can see
the wealthy as elite snobs who, while monetarily secure, are morally 7bankrupt.
Color: Different from racism, colorism is discrimination based only on the color of a person’s
skin; how relatively dark or light they are. Colorism takes place within and between races. It is
common in multi-ethnic and non-white societies and societies with historical racial prejudice.
Ability: 8Usually called ableism, a less well-known form of prejudice is discrimination against
people with visible disabilities such as 9those in wheelchairs or with a learning disability. The
disabled face discrimination not only from their 10peers, but from institutions, schools, employers,
and 11landowners who are hesitant to accommodate the disabled.
Sex/Gender: Possibly the most universal and long running prejudice is that based on a person’s
gender or sex. Historically, sexism has placed men in a more advantageous position than
women.
Weight/Size: In short, sizeism is discrimination based on 12a person’s body size or weight.
Sizeism works with social standards of beauty and usually takes the form of discrimination
against the overweight – anti-fat prejudice.
Religion: Religious discrimination and 13persecution has been common throughout history. But
14
prejudice based on religious affiliation doesn’t end with organized religion; 15atheists are 16prone
to discrimination and being discriminated against.
Sexual Orientation: Most commonly, prejudice based on sexual orientation includes
discrimination against those of a non-heterosexual orientation. Discrimination against the non-
heterosexual takes many forms depending on the society. In some societies prejudice is open
and tolerated, but in most Western societies, 17bias against the non-heterosexual is more
discreet.
Country of Origin: Nativism is a common form of discrimination against immigrants to a country.
Unlike many other forms of discrimination, nativism is many times encouraged and enforced by
some public entities.

Which prejudice do you have? Which prejudice have you experienced?

The Vikings
Raiders, travelers or brave explorers?

The Vikings sailed the seas, attacked towns, and stole treasures all over Europe between 800
and 1100. They started from Scandinavia and attacked many countries in Europe. They settled in
Britain, Ireland and France. They also crossed the Atlantic Ocean and arrived in Iceland and
Greenland. They discovered North America but they also traveled east to Russia and south to
Arabia.
They were good farmers and excellent shipbuilders. They used their ships for war. They also
used them to carry people and goods to new lands. In winter, when there was not much farm
work to do, they stayed home and did other interesting jobs. Men made swords to use them in
battle. The Vikings liked swords so much they often decorated them with gold and gave them
names. Women cooked and made clothes, shoes, and jewelry for themselves, __________
children and husbands.
In 866 the Vikings captured an Anglo-Saxon town. They called it Jorvik and it was the capital
of the Viking kingdom for 200 years. They made Jorvik rich and one of the most famous cities in
Britain. Some years ago, archeologists discovered part of that Viking town in York, the modern
city of Jorvik. They found many things such as jewelry, coins and clothes. If you ever go to York
and you want to travel back in time and see how the Vikings lived, visit the Jorvik Centre!

CYBERBULLYING ON THE RISE

Bullying among children and teenagers is not something new but it is getting more and more
common by modern methods of communication.
Cyberbullying happens when an adolescent is put in danger by another child or teenager by
photos or text messages sent to cell phones or posted on social networks. Sometimes
cyberbullies send mails with sexual comments or take passwords of other teenagers and log on
to websites with false identities. Children also play Internet games and make fun of each other in
many ways.
A study by a Canadian University shows that 1half of the young people interviewed said that they
suffer bullying. 2One of the reasons is the great use of cell phones over the past years. Today’s
children are connected with each other electronically. They call friends every time they want or
communicate with them on Facebook.
3
Cyberbullying is getting extremely popular because teens can stay anonymous. 4Many
adolescents act this way because they feel frustrated or angry and want to punish somebody for
something that happened to them. 5At other times they do it just for fun or because have nothing
else to do. 6Parents usually don’t know their child is a cyberbully. 7They perceive it just when the
victim or the victim’s parents contact them.
This kind of bullying is not as inoffensive as many people think. In some cases it can lead to
suicide. 8Many countries have organized campaigns to inform adults and children of its dangers.
9
There are a few ways to prevent cyberbullying. First, it is important to show children that they
have to respect others and they are responsible for what they do. For victims it is important not to
play the bully’s game or answer their emails and text messages. It is also important to get help
from parents and teachers.
Often schools get involved. 10They bring together the parents of victims and cyberbullies and talk
with them. Cyberbullying does not always end at school. Often, parents go to the police and
accuse the bullies.

Alberto Santos Dumont (1873-1932) was born in Brazil and educated in Paris. He made his first
balloon ascent in 1898 and, soon after that, began constructing dirigible airships. In 1901 he
won a Paris air race and international fame. (After the race, he asked Louis Cartier for a
timepiece that would keep his hands free - the first wristwatch.)
Turning to heavier-than-air machines, Santos Dumont built his 14-Bis in 1906, three years after
the Wright brothers’ initial flight. His flight was the first in Europe, and his plane was the first
anywhere to lift off the ground under its own power. In 1909 Santos Dumont designed the
Demoiselle monoplane, the first modern light plane.
In 1901 Santos Dumont fell ill with multiple sclerosis and retired from flying. He returned to Brazil
in 1916. Ill and despondent over the use of aircraft in warfare, he committed suicide in 1932.

Guillermo, from Chile: When it’s the first time I’m meeting someone or in formal situations, I

Marco, from Italy: I shake hands in formal situations. Where I live, kissing is acceptable. It’s OK
for men to kiss each other, for men to kiss women or for women to kiss each other. But with my
male friends I usually just give a hug or a pat on the back.

Gabarito:
Resposta da questão 1: [B]
A alternativa [B] está correta, pois afirma que “a Organização Internacional de Combate à
Escravidão defende os direitos humanos”. Tal informação pode ser depreendida a partir da
leitura do texto como um todo e pelo próprio fato de a organização combater a escravidão.

Resposta da questão 2: [D]


A alternativa [D] está correta, pois afirma que a escravidão é “a atividade de ter escravos”. O
texto coloca: “Someone is in slavery if they are: forced to work – through coercion, or mental or
physical threat” (alguém é um escravo se é forçado a trabalhar - por meio de coerção, ameaça
mental ou física).

Resposta da questão 3: [A]


A alternativa [A] está correta, pois afirma que o segundo parágrafo diz que "a lua não é real". O
texto coloca: "It's no good looking at it, night after night. The moon doesn't exist. It's a hologram,
put there by persons unknown" (não faz sentido olhar para ela, noite após noite. A lua não
existe. É um holograma, colocado lá por pessoas desconhecidas).

Resposta da questão 4: [B]


O propósito principal do texto é o de "informar sobre as teorias da conspiração". A resposta pode
ser depreendida da leitura do texto como um todo. A teorias da conspiração citadas são "Michael
Jackson ainda está vivo", "A lua não existe", "Jay Z é um vampiro viajante do tempo", "A Terra é
oca", "Siri pode prever o apocalipse", "Todos nós vivemos na matriz e os bilionários querem nos
tirar dela" e "Hitler ainda está vivo".

Resposta da questão 5: [D]


A alternativa [D] está correta, pois a forma em destaque está no imperativo negativo.

Resposta da questão 6: [D]


A alternativa [D] está correta, pois o autor destaca várias formas de discriminação (idade,
classe, cor, habilidade, sexo/gênero, peso/tamanho, religião, orientação sexual e país de
origem).

Resposta da questão 7: [A]


A alternativa [A] deve ser escolhida, pois possui uma definição incorreta para a discriminação
com base na idade. A alternativa diz que ela é relacionada a “uma lei contra o preconceito de
idade”. Na verdade, o termo ageism refere-se ao próprio preconceito e não a leis.

Resposta da questão 8: [B]


A alternativa [B] está correta, pois o tópico “habilidade” menciona pessoas que “tem dificuldade
na aprendizagem”. O texto coloca: Usually called ableism, a less well-known form of prejudice is
discrimination against people with visible disabilities such as those in wheelchairs or with a
learning disability (em geral chamado de preconceito de capacidade, uma forma menos
conhecida de preconceito é a discriminação contra pessoas com deficiências visíveis tais como
aquelas que estão em cadeira de rodas ou com uma deficiência em aprendizagem).

Resposta da questão 9: [D]


A alternativa [D] está correta, pois afirma que a palavra others (outras) refere-se a “áreas onde
as pessoas mostram sua intolerância”. O texto coloca: Some of the areas where people show
their intolerance are well-known, such as race. But others... (Algumas das áreas onde as
pessoas mostram sua intolerância são bem conhecidas, tais como a raça. Mas outras...).

discriminação feita por pessoas mais ricas contra aquelas que possui condição financeira
inferior).

razões". O texto coloca: "Many adolescents act this way because they feel frustrated or angry
and want to punish somebody for something that happened to them. At other times they do it just
for fun or because have nothing else to do" (Muitos adolescentes agem dessa maneira porque
eles se sentem frustrados ou irritados e querem punir alguém por algo que aconteceu a eles. Em
outras ocasiões eles fazem isso apenas por diversão ou porque eles não tem mais nada para
fazer).
