INGLÊS Por falar nisso Uma língua não é apenas um sistema de regras morfológicas, semânticas, sintáticas e afins que convém um sentido para interlocutores e falantes: ela, acima de tudo, expressa nuances de raciocínio, vivências culturais, manias, humores de um povo e muito mais. Por haver vários países cujo idioma oficial é o inglês, há diferentes palavras para significar um mesmo objeto e formas diferentes de se expressar dentro dessa mesma língua.

O conhecimento dessas diferenças vem à medida que elas são estudadas profundamente e encontradas na fala de nativos, seja por meio de vídeos, textos, seja pessoalmente.

Nas próximas aulas, estudaremos os seguintes temas

FORMAÇÃO DE PALAVRAS Antes de começar Leia o texto a seguir, que fala brevemente sobre dois romances − um inglês e um francês − sem o uso da letra "e" em sua construção, e depois responda às questões que o seguem.

You Won’t Find the Letter “E” in Either of These Two Novels

The letter “e” is so integral to many languages that it’s amazing to think that even a short conversation could be conducted without it. For instance, in one episode of How I Met Your Mother, Lily and Robin challenge their friend Barney to try and get a girl’s phone number while wearing a trash bag and without using the letter “e.”

Okay, so he succeeds, but the conversation isn’t very scintillating (and the garbage bag is not a great look, either.)

“E” is the most commonly used letter in the English language. Not only that, it’s the most commonly used letter in lots of languages, including French, German, Spanish, Italian, Swedish, Danish, and Dutch. So there are easier letters to omit if you decide to construct a lipogram – a text that deliberately omits a particular letter – no matter what your nationality. All of which makes the fact that not one but two authors managed to complete entire novels without ever using the letter “e” all the more amazing.

Written in 1939, Ernest Vincent Wright’s Gadsby is a 50,000 word novel – and there’s not an “e” in sight (at least not once you get past the author’s name or the introduction, in which Wright mentions how people often told him that such a feat was impossible), but Gadsby sticks to its own rules admirably. If there are abbreviations used, they are only ones that still would not contain the letter “e” if written out in full. In order to make sure he didn’t accidentally cheat, Wright reportedly tied down the letter “e” on his typewriter.

Inspired by Wright, Georges Perec decided to write his own novel without the letter “e” – in his first language, French. Published in 1969, it was called La Disparition and was later, incredibly, translated into English in 1994 by Gilbert Adair, who renamed it A Void (as the direct translation would have been “The Disappearance”, which, you might have noticed, contains three examples of the letter in question).

La Disparation has been translated into many languages in the same lipogrammatic form, including German, Italian, Dutch, Swedish, Spanish, Turkish, Romanian, and even Japanese. You have to wonder who had the harder job here: the author of the original novel, or the writers who managed to stick to the rules when they translated it.

Linguagens, Códigos e suas Tecnologias

DISCUSSÃO 01. Read an excerpt from A Void, written by Georges Perec, and replace the words in bold for synonyms with the letter E: “Today, by radio, and also on giant hoardings, a rabbi, an admiral notorious for his links to Masonry, a trio of cardinals, a trio, too, of insignificant politicians (bought and paid for by a rich and corrupt Anglo-Canadian banking corporation), inform us all of how our country now risks dying of starvation. A rumour, that’s my initial thought as I switch off my radio, a rumour or possibly a hoax. Propaganda, I murmur anxiously—as though, just by saying so, I might allay my doubts—typical politicians’ propaganda. But public opinion gradually absorbs it as a fact.”

02. Levando em consideração o excerto de Perec acima e o seguinte, de Wright, infira estratégias utilizadas por esses autores para escrever os livros mencionados no texto: “Upon this basis I am going to show you how a bunch of bright young folks did find a champion; a man with boys and girls of his own; a man of so dominating and happy individuality that Youth is drawn to him as is a fly to a sugar bowl. It is a story about a small town.”

03. In your opinion, which is harder: writing without the letter E or translating it? Write a small paragraph giving reasons. Resposta pessoal.

04. Desafie-se: escreva um pequeno conto em inglês que não contenha a letra “e”. Lembre-se de que um conto é uma narrativa breve e concisa, contendo um só conflito, uma única ação, com espaço geralmente limitado a um ambiente, uma unidade de tempo e um número restrito de personagens.

Gabarito 01 Today, by radio, and also on giant advertisements, a rabbi, an admiral notorious for his links to Masonry, a trio of cardinals, a trio, too, of insignificant politicians (bought and paid for by a rich and corrupt Anglo-Canadian banking corporation), inform us all of how our country now risks dying of famine. A rumour, that’s my initial thought as I switch off my radio, a rumour or possibly a deception.

Propaganda, I murmur tensely—as though, just by saying so, I might alleviate my doubts—typical politicians’ propaganda. But public opinion gradually absorbs it as a fact.

Gabarito 02 Algumas estratégias podem ter sido o uso de sinônimos; o uso da narração em primeira pessoa do singular, que tem verbos conjugados sem as terminações da terceira pessoa do singular, como watches; o controle da história e de seus personagens, que podem ter nomes e nacionalidades sem a letra proibida etc.

Gabarito 04 Resposta pessoal. Sugere-se, nesse exercício, que o professor corrija os textos dos alunos de modo a ajudá-los a engrandecer o vocabulário de inglês, uma vez que será necessário conhecer vários sinônimos para escrevê-lo. Para facilitar, o professor pode separar a turma em duplas ou trios para realizar a atividade, e depois determinar um número máximo de linhas e um tema, por exemplo, a ida a um funeral, pois, assim, os alunos não poderão usar palavras como funeral, death ou dead.

Introdução A formação de palavras em inglês faz parte do que chamamos de morfologia das palavras, que é o estudo da constituição dos vocábulos e dos processos pelos quais eles são construídos a partir de suas partes componentes. Esse estudo serve para o reconhecimento das classes gramaticais – noun, numeral, article, adjective, verb, adverb, preposition, conjunction e interjection em inglês – como também para saber os significados das palavras com raízes – parte constante das palavras, que carregam o significado principal –, prefixos – alterados do significado principal inicial – e sufixos – indicadores das classes citadas.

Vamos nos ater aos substantivos, verbos, adjetivos e advérbios nesta aula. Repare que, em inglês, é possível formar diferentes classes gramaticais com a mesma raiz: unreal, unrealistic

realize

reality, realism

real, realistic

really

adjetivos com prefixo de negação

verbo

substantivos

adjetivos

advérbio

A01  Formação de palavras

A parte em negrito é a raiz da palavra. Note que ela se repete em todas as classes gramaticais e o que muda é exatamente o que a caracteriza (não vamos entrar aqui nas especificidades, vogais temáticas, desinências e afins, do português). Independente do sufixo, é possível acrescentar alguns prefixos a palavras já existentes para mudar seu significado original, como no caso de unreal, que nega a realidade que a palavra real afirma.

Sufixos Para substantivos Já estudamos alguns sufixos indicadores nos módulos anteriores, mas deixaremos as tabelas com alguns exemplos para que você possa conferir, se precisar. Lembre-se de que, melhor do que memorizar tabelas, é ler textos e ouvir áudios em inglês, prestando-se atenção às palavras usadas em cada contexto.

In 1959, at age 17, Hawking took an entrance exam for Oxford. He received a scholarship and commenced schooling there, in his third year joining the boating club as a coxswain in order to make more friends. He didn’t work particularly hard, averaging an hour of studying per day, but that was the prevailing attitude then at Oxford. One should rely on brilliance. Despite that, he advanced successfully to graduate school.

One out of 5 people in Canada’s population is foreign-born According to the first data from the 2011 NHS, Canada had a total of about 6,775,800 foreign-born individuals who arrived as immigrants. They represented 20.6% of the total population, compared with 19.8% in the 2006 Census.

Many of Canada’s foreign-born have lived in the country for many years, while others were relative newcomers.

Around 1,162,900 foreign-born people immigrated in Canada between 2006 and 2011.

These recent immigrants made up 17.2% of the total foreign-born population and 3.5% of the total population in Canada. Together with immigrants who came during the first five years of the millennium, nearly 2,155,000 immigrants made Canada home during the last ten years.

Linguagens, Códigos e suas Tecnologias

Para advérbios Os sufixos formadores de advérbios também se apresentam em menor quantidade, e o mais utilizado na língua inglesa é o -ly, que pode ser acoplado a quase todos os adjetivos. É importante lembrar que, na língua inglesa, existem também as locuções adverbiais, que são formadas por frases.

Exercícios Complementares To Battle Computer Hackers, the Pentagon Trains Its Own After years of building firewalls and other defenses against relentless hacker attacks, the Pentagon is going over to the dark side of computer warfare. Only ethically, of course.

The Defense Department, like most large organizations, has recognized that no wall is high enough to keep out skilled and determined hackers for keeps. Instead, it has decided that in order to anticipate and 5thwart those attacks, it needs to know what the hackers know. “More than 100 foreign intelligence organizations are trying to hack into U.S. systems,” Deputy Defense Secretary William Lynn warned last month. “Some governments already have the capacity to disrupt elements of the U.S. information infrastructure.” So the Pentagon recently modified its regulations to allow military computer experts to be trained in computer hacking, gaining designation as “certified ethical 10hackers.” They’ll join more than 20,000 such good-guy hackers around the world who have earned that recognition since 2003 from the private International Council of E-Commerce Consultants (also known as the EC-Council).

04. (UEPB) What is gender anyway? […] History and science suggest that gender is more subtle and complicated than anatomy. (It’s separate from sexual orientation, too, which determines which sex we’re attracted to.) Gender helps us organize the world into two boxes, his and hers, and gives us a way of quickly sizing up every person we see on the street. “Gender is a way of making the world secure,” says feminist scholar Judith Butler. Though some scholars like Butler consider gender largely a social construct, others increasingly see it as a complex interplay of biology, genes, hormones and culture. Genesis set up the initial dichotomy: “Male and female he created them.” And historically, the differences between men and women were thought to be distinct. […] But, as society changed, the stereotypes faded. […] Still, even the most diehard feminist would likely agree that we are not exactly alike. In many cases, our habits, our posture, and even cultural identifiers like the way we dress set us apart.

Now as transgender people become more visible and challenge the old boundaries, they’ve given voice to another debate– whether gender comes in just two flavors. […] “Transgender” is an umbrella term that includes anyone whose gender identity or expression differs from the sex of their birth–whether they have surgery or not. [...]

However, male or female, we all start life looking pretty much the same.

Newsweek, May 21st, 2007.

06. (Unimontes MG) Religion vs. Superstition Is religion just organized superstition? Is superstition always religious? Is there a real connection between religion and superstition? Some, particular adherents of various religious faiths, will often argue that the two are fundamentally different types of beliefs. Those who stand outside of religion, however, will notice some very important and fundamental similarities which bear closer consideration.

Obviously, not everyone who is religious is also superstitious and not everyone who is superstitious is also religious. A person can faithfully attend church services all their life without giving a second thought to a black cat walking in front of them. On the other hand, a person who completely rejects1 any religion whatsoever may consciously or unconsciously avoid2 walking under a ladder — even if there is no one on the ladder who might drop something.

If neither necessarily leads to the other, it might be easy to conclude that they are different types of Beliefs9.

Moreover, because the very label “superstition” seems to include a negative judgment of irrationality, childishness, or primitiveness3, it is understandable of religious believers wouldn’t want their own faiths to be categorized with superstitions.

We must, nevertheless, acknowledge that the similarities are not superficial4. For one thing, both superstition and traditional religions are non-materialistic5 in nature. They do not conceive of the world as a place controlled by sequences of cause and effect between matter and energy. Instead, they presume the added presence of immaterial6 forces which influence or control the course of our lives. (…)

These are all important psychological benefits often used to explain the reason why religion exists and why religion persists.

They are also reasons for the existence and persistence of superstition. It seems reasonable to argue, then, that while superstition may not be a form of religion, it does spring* from some of the same basic human needs and desires as religion does. Thus, a greater7 understanding of how and why superstition develops can be useful in gaining a better8 understanding and appreciation of religion.

She is adding to a sizable weight loss already4. The fact that she had already lost 33 pounds (from April 2005 until she started the Challenge in March 2006) makes it harder8 to continue to lose now. After six months of weight loss, most people plateau11, and it becomes difficult to lose.

She is working very hard to get the weight off, and what she is doing is really effective. Losing it this way means she’s more likely to keep it off long-term. In an ideal world1, as she loses weight, her9 asthma will improve.

Muito comum em países de língua inglesa, esse fenômeno divide opiniões: alguns amam, outros detestam. Leia-o e responda às questões que seguem.

Why do Puns Make People Groan?

The once-exalted form of wordplay takes a lot of heat these days.

When it comes to puns, it often seems like people are either lovers or haters—they can take them or leave them, make them or grieve them. The pun-haters are in storied company. They can count among their ranks Samuel Johnson, author of the 1755 Dictionary of the English Language—not the first English dictionary, but one of the most influential before the Oxford English Dictionary came along. It took him nine years to nail 42,000 slippery definitions to the page, so it’s understandable that he might take it a bit personally when people messed with the rules he took so long to create. Before him, the printing press also placed some binding on language and it helped transform what had been an oral culture into a written one, forcing writers to commit to a single spelling before the type was set.

“To trifle with the vocabulary which is the vehicle of social intercourse is to tamper with the currency of human intelligence,” Johnson once wrote. “He who would violate the sanctities of his Mother Tongue would invade the recesses of the paternal till without remorse.” But the plight of any dictionary-writer is the inherent fluidity of language, which is the pun-trepreneur’s delight.

Did you hear about the Italian chef who just died? He passed way, just ran out of thyme. His wife is still upset, chesse not over it, because she never sausage a tragedy coming.

Sadly, there's just not mushroom for Italian chefs in the world today.

“Puns are threatening because puns reveal the arbitrariness of meaning, and the layers of nuance that can be packed onto a single word,” says John Pollack, a communications consultant and author of The Pun Also Rises. “So people who dislike puns tend to be people who seek a level of control that doesn’t exist. If you have an approach to the world that is rules-based, driven by hierarchy and threatened by irreverence, then you’re not going to like puns.”

Peter McGraw, the director of the Humor Research Lab at the University of Colorado, Boulder, has a theory about what makes things funny. He calls it a benign violation— something that subverts or threatens a norm, but not in a way that feels harmful and puns would fall under the pun-brella of communication violations.

“They can be a demonstration of wit, of cleverness,” McGraw says. “You’re relying on a person’s ability to parse language, to understand the nuances and complexities of words.”

Perhaps that’s why, according to Pollack, “for most of Western history, puns were a sign of high intellect. They were a tool, and they remain a tool, to pack more meaning into fewer words.” Shakespeare, it is often pointed out, was a merry scribe and punster.

“I think another question to ask that’s just as relevant is why is sarcasm considered cool by the same people who often decry puns as uncool?” Pollack asks. “Both are a way of saying one thing and meaning another. In an age of cynicism it’s safer, socially, to tear something down through sarcasm or irony than it is to build something up through punning.”

Still, if the pun rose as the best, it has yet to set as the least. Puns are still popular in ad campaigns and marketing (Ben and Jerry’s being a notable example), and used in TV and movie titles, like Grey’s Anatomy or Transparent. The cartoon Bob’s Burgers has a title sequence built entirely around puns that change every episode.

But Pollack thinks the haters are defining the term pun too narrowly. “Puns don’t have to be spoken,” he says. “There are also visual puns.” Google’s changing logo, the letters replaced with doodles for special occasions, is one example of a visual pun. Pollack brings up Pablo Picasso’s sculpture Bull’s Head, which is made from a bicycle seat and handles.

Introdução

Gabarito 01 Did you hear about the Italian chef who just died?

He passed way, just ran out of time. His wife is still upset, she is not over it, because she never saw such a tragedy coming. Sadly, there’s just not much room for Italian chefs in the world today.

Elemento comum: trata-se de troca para nomes de alimentos usados na cozinha italiana.

Gabarito 02 Resposta pessoal. Pode-se citar “tudo passa, até uva passa”, “eu não quis sair, mas a Cássia Kiss”, “isso é disneycessário” etc.

Gabarito 03 Resposta pessoal.

Gabarito 04 Neologismos; empréstimos de palavras de outras línguas; abreviações radicais - comuns em redes sociais- como “deletar”, “benchmark”, “vc” etc.

Tanto em português quanto em inglês, adjetivos são palavras que se juntam a um substantivo para modificar seu significado, acrescentando-lhe noções de qualidade, natureza, estado etc. Flexionados, eles podem exprimir comparações entre um estado e outro do mesmo substantivo, entre um substantivo e outro ou exprimir sua superioridade – ou inferioridade – em relação aos outros substantivos de sua categoria. A seguir, estudaremos como se flexionam e quando são utilizados esses adjetivos em ambos os casos.

A02  Comparativos e superlativos

Adjetivos comparativos Formação Adjetivos curtos A forma mais facilmente identificável de adjetivo no comparativo é o acréscimo da flexão –er e variantes ao final de adjetivos curtos, de apenas uma ou duas sílabas. São exemplos great, nice, ugly e fat, que, flexionados, tornam-se greater, nicer, uglier e fatter. A regra geral é acrescentar –r em adjetivos terminados em “e” e acrescentar –er em adjetivos terminados em consoante.

Inglês

#Curiosidade

É importante notar que categorizamos os adjetivos curtos como possuidores de apenas uma ou duas sílabas, mas não falamos sobre como essas sílabas são separadas. Infelizmente, a separação silábica no inglês não é similar ao português, pois ela considera o conhecimento da configuração morfológica das palavras: isto é, prefixo, raiz, sufixo, flexão, concordância etc., além da sílaba tônica. Portanto, conhecer essa técnica de hifenização é um processo longo e não interessa ao Ensino Médio. Sugere-se ler muitos textos em inglês, assistir a telejornais, escutar músicas e aprender pelo contato com a língua e pelo uso. Quando em dúvida, consulte o dicionário sobre a hifenização.

Verbete retirado do dicionário online Merriam-Webster, que indica sua classificação gramatical, sua separação silábica e sua transcrição fonética.

Nos quatro exemplos citados anteriormente, há dois que fogem à regra geral: n

n

o adjetivo ugly, da mesma forma que pretty, tidy, angry, easy, terminam em y e essa condição determina que a flexão retire o y e acrescente -ier. Veja: uglier, prettier, tidier, angrier, easier; observe que o adjetivo fat, assim como fit, sad, mad, big, são formados por uma estrutura singular - consoante + vogal + consoante. Essa estrutura, quando no final da palavra, demanda à flexão a repetição da última consoante antes do acréscimo do -er. Veja: fatter, fitter, sadder, madder, bigger.

Assim, temos a seguir a forma final dos adjetivos curtos: Adjetivo + flexão de comparativo

Forma final

sweet + (-er)

sweeter

cute + (-r)

cuter

happy + (-ier)

happier

hot + (-ter)

Para adjetivos com três ou mais sílabas, não os flexionamos. Mantemos sua estrutura intacta e juntamos aos comparativos more (‘mais’) ou para transmitir o significado desejado. São exemplos: more attractive, more exquisite, more confident.

Figura 01 - This car is certainly better, but I’m sure it’s more expensive as well, maybe even more than we can afford.

Usos Usamos comparativos para descrever pessoas e coisas: I’m feeling better now; my sister needs a bigger house; n Junto com a conjunção than para comparar algo com outro: Brazil is a bigger country than Belgium; my cat is sweeter than my dog; he’s a better player than me; Michelle is more confident than Melania; n Quando descrevemos como algo muda gradativamente: the gas price is more and more expensive in Brazil; your kid keeps getting bigger and bigger; n Quando se quer expresser duas ideias interdependentes, é comum inverter a ordem fraseológica: the higher they climbed the Everest Mountain, the colder it got; the faster you go, the more dangerous it is. n

Adjetivos superlativos Formação Adjetivos curtos A construção dos superlativos segue os mesmos princípios de quantidade de sílabas e de terminação da palavra. Em vez de acrescentar -er, acrescentamos -est e, antes do adjetivo flexionado, colocamos o artigo definido the. Veja: Adjetivo curto + flexão de superlativo

Why does the word woman have “man” in it and the word female has “male” in it?

Sometimes we manipulate the words and their origins and make adjustments to them so they fit our assumption. This phenomenon is fairly common and it actually has its own name: folk etymology. This phenomenon happens a lot with the words man and woman, and male and female. To many, the word man carries stigma; you shouldn’t use man to refer to “human”, that’s sexist. To others, both words should be dismissed because even human has “man” in it. Same thing for mankind and humankind. The nonsense doesn’t stop here. They went so far as to complain why does woman have “man” in it and female has the word “male” in it? But seriously… why?

Man derives from Proto-Germanic and it meant literally ‘person’, that is, it could refer to both man and woman. Woman, on the other hand, derives from wifman. What was used to refer to man with today’s sense of the word is wer or werman. You can see this in the word werewolf (literally ‘man-wolf’).

Wifman, in the course of language development, lost the “f” and became wimman until it reached us as woman. Werman didn’t just lose the “r”, like what happened with the “f” in wifman. Following the Norman conquest, the whole “wer” was gone, and it became man, and it gradually narrowed down to refer to ‘male men’ only.

Let’s now settle down to handle human and male. The first derives from the Latin humanus and has nothing to do with the word man. The second is from Latin masculus (‘male’), which was then shortened to masle in Old French, which dropped the “s” and it finally became male. Female is also from French, but from femelle (‘woman’), from the Latin diminutive of femina; it never had any connection, etymologically speaking, to male. Still, although there are no etymological relationships between these words and what people purport them to indicate, it’s amazing how our minds find patterns, and link them to what’s going on in the world.

Introdução Nos módulos anteriores, analisamos a construção dos tempos verbais: passado simples e presente perfeito, além das aplicações e usos. Nesta aula, vamos relembrar o que foi estudado e comparar os dois tempos verbais, a fim de sanar quaisquer dúvidas em relação ao uso.

Passado simples O passado simples (simple past) em inglês pode ser entendido como o nosso pretérito perfeito em português, mas sua forma de conjugação nunca varia para nenhuma pessoa do discurso, exceto para o verbo to be. A maioria dos verbos são regulares, e isso significa que é facilmente identificado e memorizado.

Construção As construções dos verbos regulares nas orações afirmativas são as seguintes: n Verbos terminado em -e, ou na maioria das consoantes, são acrescidos apenas de -(e)d: sued, sweetened, thanked; n Verbos terminados em-y, mas precedidos de vogal, são acrescidos de-ed: enjoyed, loved; n Verbos terminado em -y, mas precedidos de consoantes, são acrescidos de -ied no lugar do -y: cried, buried; n Verbos terminados em -s, -ss, -sh, -ch, -x ou -z também são apenas acrescidos de -ed: focused, kissed, washed, watched, mixed, buzzed.

Por sua vez, os verbos irregulares são diferentes e, para facilitar sua memorização, é preciso ler bastante e praticar sua escrita. São exemplos os verbos to be (was/were), to begin (began), to do (did), to eat (ate), to make (made) etc. Quando em dúvida, consulte um dicionário.

Para as orações negativas e interrogativas, faz-se o uso do verbo auxiliar to do, que é conjugado no passado simples, enquanto o verbo principal permanece intacto: I didn’t make this cake. − Did you make this cake?

Nós usamos o passado simples quando queremos nos referir a: Um evento que aconteceu apenas uma vez no passado: Einstein won a Nobel Prize in 1921; Anna dyed her hair red for the first time last year; n Um evento que acontecia repetidamente no passado: when Rosie was a kid she wanted to see the world; Andrew brought this cat home last night; n Um evento que foi verdadeiro por um tempo específico no passado: René Magritte attended an art school in Brussels for a couple years, Leia always thought she was an only child. É importante notar que as expressões ago, for (+ medida de tempo), in (+ ano, mês etc.) e outras, que indicam quando os eventos ocorreram, estão intimamente ligadas ao passado simples. n

Linguagens, Códigos e suas Tecnologias

Presente perfeito O presente perfeito, ou present perfect, não é algo com que se pode fazer um paralelo em português: você vai ver que, se tentar traduzir a maioria dos exemplos desta aula, acabará usando tempos verbais diferentes para a mesma estrutura. Por isso, vale mais estudar o present perfect por seus casos.

Construção Simples Sua construção se dá pelo verbo to have, auxiliar, no presente e na pessoa do discurso (have ou has, quando na terceira pessoa do singular), e do particípio passado (past participle) de outro verbo, o principal.

O particípio passado dos verbos regulares coincide com sua forma no afirmativo do passado simples e segue as regras que vimos no item anterior. Já a forma dos verbos irregulares deve ser estudada à parte, pois as regras de construção não são facilmente percebidas, a não ser por um estudo de sua evolução etimológica. São exemplos to be (been), to begin (begun), to do (done), to eat (eaten), to make (made) etc.

Figura 02 - I have eaten oatmeal for breakfast for a month now.

I have not (haven’t) eaten any oatmeal for breakfast in the last month.

Have you eaten oatmeal for breakfast?

Já sua contrução continous é formada por have/has + been (to be no particípo passado), ambos auxiliares, e um outro verbo, principal, em sua forma -ing:

Figura 03 - She has been looking at this painting for ten minutes now.

She has not (hasn’t) been looking at this painting for ten minutes now.

Has she been looking at this painting for ten minutes now?

O uso geral do passado simples é pontual, ou seja, ocorreu em um determinado período de tempo, que geralmente é marcado e identificável, enquanto o uso do presente perfeito descreve ações, cuja duração é mais importante, seja porque começou no passado e continua no presente, seja porque ainda não acabou, seja porque foi contínuo durante certo período de tempo. Em geral, há a seguinte linha do tempo: A MONTH AGO I

Playing a video game causes positive structural 2 brain changes in regions responsible for spatial 3 orientation, memory formation, strategic planning, and 4 fine motor skills, with potential implications for psychiatric 5 disorders, new research suggests.

6 In light of these findings, investigators from the Max 7 Planck Institute for Human Development in Berlin, 8 Germany, suggest that video game training might be 9 therapeutically useful for patients with mental disorders 10 such as schizophrenia, posttraumatic stress disorder 11 (PTSD), or neurodegenerative diseases, such as 12 Alzheimer’s dementia, in which brain regions are altered 13 or reduced in size. “While previous studies have shown 14 differences in brain structure of video gamers, the present 15 study can demonstrate the direct causal link between 16 video gaming and a volumetric brain increase. This proves 17 that specific brain regions can be trained by means of 18 video games,” lead author Simone Kühn, PhD, said in a 19 statement.

20 Video gaming provides the gamer with a multitude 21 of complex cognitive and motor demands. There is a 22 growing body of evidence that video game experts 23 outperform novices on several cognitive measures of 24 attention and perception, which has fueled interest in 25 using video games for brain training.

26 The researchers had 23 healthy young adults with 27 little or no prior video game experience play the video 28 game “Super Mario 64” for more than 30 minutes a day 29 for 2 months. A matched control group of 25 adults did 30 not play video games. Brain volume was quantified using 31 magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

In comparison with 32 the control group, the video gaming group showed 33 significant gray matter increases in right hippocampal 34 formation (HC), right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex 35 (DLPFC), and bilateral cerebellum. These changes were 36 more pronounced the more desire the video gamer had 37 to play the video game.

ASSUNTOS ABORDADOS n Passado perfeito n Antes de começar n Introdução n Passado perfeito n Usos

PASSADO PERFEITO Antes de começar O texto a seguir representa um exagero de como a pergunta Do you like hamburgers? seria respondida em dois contextos diferentes. Leia-o e responda às questões que o seguem.

Do you like hamburgers?

Answer #1: “Yeah, I like hamburgers.”

Gabarito 01 A primeira seria uma conversa informal entre amigos e a segunda, um contexto escrito, formal, como uma redação escolar.

Gabarito 02 O tamanho – curto e muito longo –, a pessoa do discurso utilizada – primeira do singular e terceira do singular –, o tipo de vocabulário – yeah e partake, por exemplo –, o fato de haver ou não explicação da resposta, a tentativa ou não de racionalizar o próprio gosto.

Gabarito 03 Não seria adequado, pois uma redação escolar requer uma resposta bem elaborada para averiguar se o aluno sabe se expressar de maneira satisfatória, sem muitos erros e com argumentos bem fundados. A primeira resposta seria insuficiente no segundo contexto e a segunda resposta, no primeiro contexto, seria exagerada, pedante e longa demais para um diálogo oral, em que se espera mais espontaneidade na fala.

Gabarito 04 Resposta pessoal. Sugere-se que, nesse exercício, o professor corrija os textos dos alunos de modo a ajudá-los a aprimorar o vocabulário de inglês, uma vez que será necessário conhecer um vocabulário mais formal para escrevê-lo. Para facilitar, o professor pode separar a turma em duplas ou trios para realizar a atividade, determinar um número máximo de linhas e determinar um tema, por exemplo, “você gosta de viajar de avião?”.

834

Answer #2: “Should someone partake in the consumption of hamburgers, this person will indeed verily enjoy the taste, texture, and overall experience of consuming hamburgers. It is perhaps the fact of eating the hamburger, not the consumption of eating the combined ingredients. One finds that, if one ate some ground beef and bread that were not assembled into the form of a hamburger, he or she would not enjoy it quite as much as eating a hamburger. It is the whole idea and execution of a hamburger. Yes, each individual ingredient is cooked in such a way that, combined, transforms the taste. It has been well noted that, when one eats a hamburger, he or she is lifted from his or her normal state and transcend into one of happiness and regains his or her will to live.”

DISCUSSÃO 01. Quais seriam os contextos adequados para as respostas de número 1 e 2, respectivamente?

02. Que diferenças marcantes há entre uma resposta e outra?

03. Seria adequado, linguisticamente, trocar os contextos das respostas 1 e 2? Por quê?

04. Challenge accepted! Write two paragraphs, one informal and the other formal, explaining your point of view of something simples, as the text you have just read.

Linguagens, Códigos e suas Tecnologias

Introdução Nesta aula, estudaremos um tempo verbal novo chamado passado perfeito (past participle). Assim como o presente perfeito, visto na aula anterior, ele não tem tradução direta para o português. Por isso, é melhor estudá-lo por seus casos de uso. Não traduzir é um passo importante para o aprendizado de qualquer língua estrangeira: significa que você a compreende como um sistema em si mesmo e isso o ajuda a ser fluente!

Passado perfeito Após aprender e relembrar o presente perfeito, o passado perfeito torna-se mais fácil de ser entendido.

Sua construção simples ocorre pelo verbo to have, auxiliar, no passado simples (had), e do past participle de outro verbo, principal:

Figura 01 - She had lived in her parents’ house for 18 years, it was time to move on.

She had not (hadn’t) lived in her parents’ house for 18 years, it was weird to be back.

Had she lived in her parents’ house for 18 years?

Já sua contrução continous é formada por had + been, auxiliares, e outro verbo, principal, em sua forma -ing:

A04  Passado perfeito

Figura 02 - It had been raining for hours non-stop, so she never met us.

It had not (hadn’t) been raining for hours non-stop, so she went out and met us.

Had it been raining for hours non-stop?

835

Inglês

Usos Usamos o passado perfeito para os mesmos casos que o presente perfeito, mas para nos referirmos a um tempo no passado e não no presente: I. Para descrever algo que começou no passado e continuou até determinado ponto também no passado: she had had pets since she was ten (ela não os tem mais); she had been writing me letters for years (ela não as escreve mais); II. Para mencionar algo que o sujeito da oração fez inúmeras vezes no passado e continuou fazendo depois daquele ponto: My husband was a great teacher. He had been teaching in that school since he graduated; I had been watching Parks and Recreation every week, but I missed the last episode; III. Para descrever uma experiência até o momento da então fala: that was the best party I had ever attended; my kid had never met his father until that point; IV. Para mencionar algo que aconteceu no passado, mas que é importante no momento da então fala: Nina couldn’t get into the party, because she had forgotten to respond the RSVP; my boyfriend had forgotten that it was Valentine’s Day, so he never showed up to the restaurant.

V. Para condições, hipóteses e desejos: if he had asked, I would have brought a pet home; this ice skating thing you got yourself into is dangerous, what if you had got into and accident?; Sarah wishes she hadn’t spent all her time in that one store.

Observe as palavras em negrito nos exemplos: elas são bastante comuns na língua inglesa quando usamos o passado perfeito. Além disso, permitem mais fluidez ao discurso, assim como as seguintes, mais usadas para perguntas e negativas: Abaixo, segue uma cronologia com a regra geral do passado perfeito.

TEXT The movement known as Modernism began in the first decade of the 20th c. and was a reaction against all aspects of Victorianism. Literary interest shifted from the external to the internal, to the psychology and.motivation of characters and their roots in deeply shared experience, influenced by the theories of Sigmund Freud and Carl Gustav Jung, and the anthropological relativism of J. G. Fraser. Joseph Conrad, D. H. Lawrence, and E. M. Foster, among others, explored mind and feeling4 in fiction still largely conventional in narrative and dialogue. Virginia Woolf and James Joyce, however, experimented with the stream of consciousness to express a character’s thoughts more directly. Poetry broke even more radically with the past, replacing5 traditional prosody with free verse and favouring6 the shorter poem with sharp, concrete imagery. The American-born T. S. Eliot became the most famous poet of the new style in England, while in Ireland W. B. Yeats started in Neo-Romantic vein but developed new verse styles for his own mythology, and Hugh Mac-Diarmaid in Scotland sought a renaissance of literary Scots in tandem with verbal experiment and socialist1 politics.

Much of the literature of the period was marked by a more colloquial and relaxed use of language. The magisterial tone and direct comment of 19th c. novelists changed into styles which allowed the reader a more open and less directed approach to the text.

Scenes and topics once banned from literature were now admitted, with hitherto taboo words appearing7 in print and a more explicit presentation of sexuality and human differences.

These traits increased in the years between 1918 and 1939, with a sense of the fragmentation of society and the dispersal of shared beliefs. Aldous Huxley and Evelyn Waugh wrote of the frenetic escapism of the years after the First World War. Under the threat of a second war, writers began to urge the need for commitment and political action, writers such as the poet W. H. Auden and the novelist2 George Orwell took strong leftwing stances, whileGraham Greene expressed a radical Roman Catholic point of view. All of them sought to make their work popular, using as appropriate to their genre the language of the thriller or the rhythm of popular dance music.

After 1945, there was radical questioning8 of the47.basic savagery in human nature. William olding, Iris Murdoch, Norman Mailer, and John Fowles brought this theme into fiction. The freedom to write explicitly of sex and violence was taken further. Drama and

the novel now presented the human dilemma in terms influenced

by French existentialist3 philosophy. The theatre of the absurd, with Samuel Beckett and Harold Pinter, took dramatic speech away from the communicative and naturalistic to the inconsequential.

The term Postmodernism has been given to the extension of Modernism into a more radical questioning of the integrity of language and the uncertainty of all linguistic performance.

01. (UECE) The suffix –IST in these words from the text: socialist (ref.1 ), novelist (ref.2 ), existentialist(ref.3 ) forms respectively: a) Noun, noun, adjective. b) Adjective, adjective, noun. c) Adjective, noun, adjective. d) Noun, adjective, adjective.

04. (ITA SP) 1 Harvard conducted one of the longest and most comprehensive studies of human development — the 75 year 2 old Grant Study — that’s reached some fascinating conclusions regarding the recipe for leading a happy life. The 3 sample group was comprised of healthy male Harvard college students who, over the course of their lifetime, agreed 4 to meet with an array of scientists and researchers who measured their psychological, physical and anthropological 5 traits. Though all identities are confidential, it was recently discovered that John F. Kennedy was a sample participant. 6 Following these men through times of war, their careers, parenthood and old age, the Grant Study has amassed an 7 exorbitant amount of data that deeply reflects the human condition. What can be concluded from seven decades of 8 data? It is quite simple actually; warm relationships between parents, spouses, children and friends have the greatest 9 impact on your health and happiness in old age. The study found that 93 percent of the sample group who were 10 thriving at age 65, had a close relationship with a sibling when they were younger.

As George Vaillant, the lead 11 director of the study states, it can all be boiled down into five simple words: “Happiness is love. Full stop.” (Business 12 Insider.) http://www.goodnet.org/articles/1055 (acesso em 10/06/2013).

STOLEN CAR RETURNED TO SOUTH AFRICAN OWNER AFTER 22 YEARS 01 JOHANNESBURG - A South African man _______________ with his car 22 years after it was 02 stolen, thanks to a dogged police investigator.

03 Pretoria businessman Derick Goosen got a surprising call from warrant officer Kwakwa Ntokola two 04 weeks ago about a gray 1988 Toyota Corolla, the Afrikaans newspaper Beeld reported.

05 Goosen had reported the car stolen back in 1993 but it turned up only last year when police seized a 06 vehicle at a roadblock in the northern province of Limpopo after noticing that its engine number had been 07 scratched off.

08 Ntokola, “a true policeman”, then managed to reconstruct the number and eventually traced the 09 owner to Pretoria, police Colonel Ronel Otto told the newspaper.

10 “I’m going to wash it and drive around in it,” Goosen said.

“Everything inside is still in perfect order. I 11 can’t believe it.”

1 If Hollywood ever makes a prequel to The Matrix, it 2 could start with the research that scientists at Duke 3 University are doing with rats. In the sci-fi movie, humans 4 were connected to a machine and to each other in one 5 enormous interlinked, well, matrix. It’s not too dissimilar 6 to what they’ve been doing at Duke. Thanks to technology 7 they’ve developed that records and transmits brain 8 signals, they’ve been able to plug rats’ brains into each 9 other so that when one learns a simple task, the other 10 does as well. They even managed to connect a rat brain 11 in Brazil to a rat brain in North Carolina. It seems the 12 rodents begin to share their identities: acting, for instance, 13 as if their whiskers were the same length when they’re 14 not. “We are creating a single central nervous system 15 made up of two rat brains,” says neurobiology professor 16 Miguel Nicolelis. Theoretically, he said, there could be 17 many more in what he called a “brain-net,” or perhaps 18 even a vast organic computer. “You can imagine that a 19 combination of brains could provide solutions that 20 individual brains cannot achieve by themselves,” says 21 Nicolelis. No mention of plugging human brains into each 22 other ... yet.
