REVISÃO: 19/02/2022 
Author’s
Acknowledgements
While writing this series, the author has often been supported by
his family and encouraged by God.

I dedicate this labor to my dad, Nagibe Rosti, who has always


inspired me with his words of motivation and faith. I also
thank my Heavenly Father who has been giving me the gift
of love for teaching, and for life itself.

Sincere thanks are also due to all my friends who were around
while I was involved with this project.

Teaching is such a great and amazing work and that’s “my


thing”, for sure.

Nagibe Rosti

Life is a gift, and it offers us the privilege, opportunity, and


responsibility to give something back by becoming more.

Tony Robbins
Discovering English

É hora de voar mais alto e já que você domina os três tempos ver-
bais, presente, passado e futuro, é hora de aprender a ter mais
flexibilidade em se comunicar, e aprender a utilizar os modals.

Developing
Four Skills
Oral:
Producing sentences according to the vocabulary, using for this activity most
of the time in class. More than 50 % of the time. Be careful with the correct
pronunciation of the words. Encourage the students to produce the senten-
ces aloud and with enthusiasm.

Reading:
Since the very first moment the student has a contact with this skill,
reading will improve as the lesson will be presented. By making the
translations according to the material you’ve received in class, no
further. Translate the sentences in «chunks», not word by word, becau-
se it may be a serious problem in the next books.

Writing:
It takes it part with the reading as well. Translating in the same way you’ve
done from English to Portuguese, now on the contrary. Translate the
sentences in «chunks» not word by word.

Listening:
Here it goes! This is the most important activity of all. The better you listen,
the better you speak. I’ts been proved that who listens well has greater
chances of speaking better too. So pay attention carefully to the teacher as
he says the sentences by the end of the classes.

SELF CORRECTION: You don’t have homeworks to be done in the book 1 and 2, but you have
classwork, and the corrections for those exercises is done in class with the teacher’s supervision.

CAN
Ele significa que algo pode sim ser feito, que a pessoa consegue fazê-lo.
“I can do it today” – Eu posso fazer isso hoje.

COULD
“Could” é como o “can”, mas como uma possibilidade normalmente associada a uma condição.
” I could do it today, but I forgot” – Eu poderia ter feito isso hoje, mas eu esqueci.

SHOULD
O “should” é usado para algo que deveria ser feito, mas ainda não foi.
“I should do it but I still haven’t had the time” – Eu deveria fazer isso, mas eu ainda não tive tempo.

WOULD
Mostra a possibilidade de algo ser feito, normalmente associada a uma condição, a um “se”.
“I would do it, if I had time to” – Eu faria isso, se eu tivesse tempo.

MAY
Além de ser o nome do mês de maio, “may” tem os sentidos de que algo pode ser feito e de dar
permissão para que algo seja feito.
“I may do it today” – Eu devo fazer isso hoje, com aquela “vibe” de “Talvez eu faça isso hoje”.
“You may do it today” – Você pode fazer isso hoje.

MIGHT
“Might” é o passado de “may”, por isso carrega o mesmo significado de possibilidade, mas, por ser
passado, trazendo o sentido de menos probabilidade. É como se algo pudesse ser feito, mas talvez não seja.
“I might do it today. I’m waiting to have time for it” – Eu deveria fazer isso hoje. Eu estou
esperando ter tempo para isso.

MUST
O “must” mostra obrigação, a certeza de algo tem que ser realmente feito.
“I must do it” – Eu tenho que fazer isso.
Uma associação a ser feita é com as peças “must have” da moda, que são as peças que uma pessoa “tem que ter”.

HAVE TO
O “have to” é uma afirmação, é o nosso “tem que”, que diz que você deve fazer algo. Ele se
assemelha ao “must”, mas sem aquele peso da ordem.
I have to go home at 10pm – Eu tenho que ir para casa às 22h.
You have to buy new shoes – Você tem que comprar sapatos novos.
She doesn’t have to follow your rules – Ela não tem que seguir as suas regras.
