The topics of the following text are missing.

Read the texts to answer the questions on the following slides.

Try to figure out what the myths are.

Myth 1: ________________________________________
Fact: As many as 650 000 people a year can die of the flu. This only represents
respiratory deaths, so the likely impact is even higher. Even healthy people can get
the flu, but especially people whose immune systems are vulnerable. Most people will
recover within a few weeks, but some can develop complications, including sinus and
ear infections, pneumonia, and heart or brain inflammations.

Myth 2: ________________________________________
Fact: The injected flu vaccine contains an inactivated virus that cannot give you
influenza. If you feel achy or slightly feverish, it is a normal reaction of the immune
system to the vaccine, and generally lasts only a day or two.

Myth 3: ________________________________________
Fact: The flu vaccine is proven to be safe. Severe side effects are extremely rare. One
in a million people may get Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS), which causes muscle
weakness and paralysis.

Myth 4: ________________________________________
Fact: Several flu viruses are circulating all the time, which is why people may still get
the flu despite being vaccinated since the vaccine is specific to one strain. However,
being vaccinated improves the chance of being protected from the flu. This is
especially important to stop the virus from affecting people with vulnerable immune
systems.

Myth 5: ________________________________________
Fact: Pregnant women should especially get the flu vaccine since their immune
systems are weaker than usual. The inactivated flu vaccine is safe at any stage of
pregnancy.

 Foco no conteúdo
Agora, vocês planejarão um pôster informativo. Por isso, vamos
retomar algumas de suas características:
• O pôster informativo é um tipo de cartaz usado para compartilhar
informações com públicos variados;
• Utiliza-se combinações de linguagem verbal e não verbal;
• Os textos são curtos e objetivos, com linguagem adequada ao
público-alvo;
• As informações, geralmente, são apresentadas com criatividade,
para chamar a atenção do público;
• Há uma preocupação estética, considerando a harmonia entre
tamanhos das letras e das imagens, espaçamento, cores etc.
