ln Sports & Leisure: The hair-loss lndustry

Most of us laugh at those goofy late-night informercials that promise to fix hair loss forever - with paint. But the U.S. hair-loss industry pulls in $ 1.5 billion a year in revenues, and U.S. News was impressed enough by its influence to run an eight-page article about it last week. The article explained that despite the dubious success rate of most baldness treatments, the "treadmill of treatment and spending — and more treatment and more spending — is likely to be the only path for balding men and women who want their hair back" — at least until scientists come up with a medical cure for baldness. And we guarantee that the hair-loss industry does not want that to happen.

1. Os pronomes "its" e "that", em destaque no texto, referem-se, respectivamente, a:

hair loss; hair loss industry. 

U.S.News; dubious success of some treatments. 

revenues; a medical cure for baldness. 

American hair loss industry; a medical cure for baldness. 

 influence; dubious success of some treatments.

 2. Assinale a alternativa cuja informação não pode ser encontrada na primeira frase do texto:

Comerciais de produtos contra queda de cabelo são geralmente tolos. 

Tais comerciais têm caráter informativo. 

Os comerciais são transmitidos, provavelmente, após as 22 horas. 

Os comerciais provocam risos no telespectador. 

A solução para a calvície está em um fixador que elimina definitivamente a queda de cabelo.

 3. Dadas as asserções:

I. Muitos dos tratamentos americanos contra a calvície, embora dispendiosos, são bem sucedidos.

II. Os tratamentos descritos na sinopse são dolorosos.

III. Os produtos contra a queda de cabelo mencionados no texto são elaborados à base de tinta.

está(ão) correta(s):

Apenas a I. 

Apenas a II.

 Apenas a III.   

Todas   

Nenhuma.

4. Pulls in, revenues e come up with, podem ser traduzidos, respectivamente, por:

economiza propaganda possam controlar. 

arrecada rendimento encontrem. 

economiza revenda pensem. 

gasta venda possam controlar. 

arrecada revenda encontrem.

Central Station

The reality of everyday life that “Central Station” shows is harsh. In the film, Dora (Fernanda Montenegro) is a bitter woman who makes her living in Rio’s Central Station writting letters for illiterate people. She takes their money but discards the letters.
One day she writes a letter for a mother and her little boy (Vinícius de Oliveira). When the mother is killed in an accident outside the station, Dora tries to sell the boy for adoption. Then she realizes her mistake, rescues the boy and the two set out on a bus trip to find his father. For Walter Salles, the director of the film, Dora is a good example of modern Brazil, with its culture of “cynicism”. But as Dora gradually develops a bond with the boy “she begins to understand that the boy’s route and the boy’s problems are comparable to her own”, he said.
The growing friendship between these two is, for Mr.Salles, a symbol of Brazil where solidarity and compassion may be buried but are still present. His film is not utopian, but it celebrates the diversity both of the land and of what Mr. Salles calls the “human geography” that Dora and Josué encounter on their journey.
(From “A Searching Journey into the Heart of Brazil,”by Laura Winters, In The New York Times, November 22,1998.) Adapted from New Password English, MARQUES, Amadeu (Vol.1)

1. In the sentence, “But as Dora gradually develops a bond with the boy...” We deduce that she

unites him to her as a bitter stepmother.
feels linked to him.
connects her feelings with his since they weren’t tramps.
I’d probably
shows a marked lack of affection in him.


2. “The reality of everyday life that C Station shows is harsh.” HARSH may be replaced by

cunning
harmful
cruel
neglectful
choice5


3. By reading "Dora tries to sell ...find his father.” We may conclude that Dora

would have sold the boy for adoption if she hadn’t had notions of her mistake.
would sell the boy for adoption if he didn’t help her during the trip.
would have sold him if he hadn’t gone to her on a bus trip
wouldn’t sell him unless he wanted to go with her on a bus trip.

Voltando à blogosfera!

Depois de um longo jejum, quase um ano sem postar, estou de volta à blogosfera. Resolvi me dedicar mais à Study English e como meu tempo está bem curto parei mesmo de postar.

Não queira nem saber que dia da semana é este, nem a horas em que eu estou escrevendo este post (e o próximo), muito menos onde eu estava, pois se eu te contar, você vai dizer que eu certamente estou maluco ou que preciso de amigos oi coisa do tipo. Não estou louco e tenho ótimos amigos, na verdade estava com alguns deles há algumas horas.

Mas voltando ao blog. Descobri uma ferramenta super legal neste site e fiquei com muita vontade de aplicar no blog. Acho que desde o começo dos QUICKIES isso era exatamente o que eu queria fazer, assim, com uma nova motivação, volto a postar. Ainda não sei se vou manter o blog focado no vestibular, mas um dia destes fiz uma visita a um blog que deveria ser sobre vestibular e achei muitas coisas que não tinham conexão com o vestiba ou com o aprendizado de inglês apenas.... Isso me fez pensar. Chega de papo! Este blog não nasceu pra ficar de papo!!!

SUMMER ENGLISH

Hey folks !!

Durante janeiro e fevereiro oferecerei cursos de férias para aqueles que, assim como eu, ficarão em Santa Maria e não querem perder o contato com o inglês.

Abrirei uma turma de nível pré-intermediário (o livro amarelo) que se encontrará 2 vezes por semana (segunda-feira e quarta-feira ) no final do dia. Assim, todos já terão realizado suas tarefas diárias e estarão livres para a aula e para as atividades pós aula, afinal, é verão!! Alunos que estejam terminando o livro 1 (UNIT 10 em diante) também são bem-vindos! Novos alunos devem passar por entrevista antes de fazer sua matrícula. Só precisa agendar pelo fone ou e-mail nesta página.

No curso de férias não usaremos os livros. Eu prepararei as aulas ‘sob encomenda’ após cada aula que a turma realizar, ou seja, a cada aula a turma decidirá sobre o que será a próxima! Assim, teremos um programa bem flexível tanto nos assuntos discutidos como nos itens gramaticais que estudaremos ou revisaremos. Isto também se aplicará nas habilidades de conversação, leitura, escrita, compreensão oral que a turma desejar aperfeiçoar. O fato de não usarmos livros permite que cada aluno possa juntar-se a sua turma em março exatamente na unidade em que parou em dezembro. Claro que tem a vantagem de ter praticado e revisado durante as férias!

O Curso de férias tem dois módulos (janeiro e fevereiro). Cada aluno pode escolher fazer os dois meses ou um deles. Para os alunos do semestre passado o valor é de R$ 120,00 para cada mês. Para os alunos novos (please, contem para os amigos) é de R$ 150,00 cada mês.

As aulas começam na segunda-feira 10 de janeiro e acabam no dia 9 de fevereiro para o módulo janeiro.

Aguardo tua resposta o quanto antes, lembre-se, haverá apenas uma turma, pois quero curtir o verão também!!!

Um grande abraço,

Pyta

que venha 2010

Escrevi e publiquei no Orkut este texto no final de 2009, então decidi que ele deveria ser postato aqui no blog, enquanto o substituto dele vai ser publicado no Orkut, no Facebook e aqui.

VENHA 2010!!

A rigor, o ano que começou em 01 de janeiro só
começa mesmo após o carnaval. Neste perído de uns 2 meses estou em uma espécie
de limbo (vestibular-curso de férias-FÉRIAS-carnaval).

É um bom momento para dizer que
2009 foi mesmo um grande ano, bem, só poderia, tendo Leão (o sol) como regente
não poderia se esperar algo diferente! Foi
um ano de celebrações, inovações, mudanças, de correr riscos, de amar, de dizer
SIM, de fazer sempre algo diferente, de vier a vida com mais intensidade,
cuidar do corpo e da mente. De fazer novos amigos de reencontrar velhos amigos!
Um grande ano!

Já sei que 2010 está ai, é só olhar
no calendário, mas cá entre nós, 2010 e todas as suas novidades, chega mesmo em
março. Até lá é o limbo! O calor, o tempo livre para refletir, destruir, criar,
viajar (às vezes sem sair do lugar).

Embora saiba que já estás entre
nós, 2010, por hora só sinto teus sinais. Te esperei um ano inteiro! Me
preparei a cada dia para tua chegada! Sinto que a hora está chegando! Olho para
o horizonte e vejo ao longe as árvores se mexendo e os pássaro voando em
debandada anunciando tua invevitável chegada. Traga tuas surpresas, tuas
mudanças, teus desafios, oportunidades, teus prazeres e agruras. Te desafio a
ser melhor que 2009! Te desafio a ser melhor que o ano de Leão regido pelo
grande Sol!

QUE VENHA 2010!!!

A priest known by his Resistance code name Abbé Pierre awakened the conscience of France in 1954 when he seized the microphone of Radio Luxembourg and told of a woman who had frozen to death in a Paris street clutching a notice of eviction.

Child Labor

Most of us would be horrified to support a business that exploits children. But you may have done just that on your last shopping trip.

Perhaps you spent your money on a handcrafted carpet, without knowing it was made by a seven-year-old child laborer from India, where children are forced to work for 12 hours a day for very little pay.

Maybe you just bought a soccer ball for your son or daughter, without realizing your present was produced by five-year-old hands inside a dark and silent factory in Pakistan.

Around the world today, some 250 million boys and girls between the ages of five and fourteen are exploited in dangerous conditions, according to the International
Labor Organization - ILO.

QUICKIE 18

Multiple Intelligences in the ESL Classroom

From Kenneth Beare

The theory of multiple intelligences was developed in 1983 by Dr. Howard Gardner, professor of education at Harvard University. Here is a discussion of the eight different intelligences Dr. Gardner proposes and _______ relationship to the ESL / EFL classroom.

Verbal / Linguistic

Explanation and understanding through the use of words.

This is the most common means of teaching. In the most traditional sense, the teacher teaches and the students learn. However, this can also be turned around and students can help each other understand concepts. While teaching to other types of intelligences is extremely important, this type of teaching focuses on using language and will continue to play the primary role in learning English.

Visual / Spatial

Explanation and comprehension through the use of pictures, graphs, maps, etc.

This type of learning gives students visual clues to help them remember language.

In my opinion, the use of visual, spatial and situational clues is probably the reason learning a language in an English speaking country (Canada, USA, England, etc.) is the most effective way to learn English.

Body / Kinesthetic

Ability to use the body to express ideas, accomplish tasks, create moods, etc.

This type of learning combines physical actions with linguistic responses and are very helpful for tying language to actions. In other words, repeating "I'd like to pay by credit card." in a dialogue is much less effective than having a student act out a role-play in which he pulls out his wallet and says, "I'd like to pay by credit card."

Interpersonal

Ability to get along with others, work with others to accomplish tasks.

Group learning is based on interpersonal skills. Not only do students learn while speaking to others in an "authentic" setting, they develop English speaking skills while reacting to others. Obviously, not all learners have excellent interpersonal skills. For this reason, group work needs to be balanced with other activities.

Logical / Mathematical

Use of logic and mathematical models to represent and work with ideas.

Grammar analysis falls into this type of learning style. Many teachers feel that English teaching syllabi are too loaded towards grammar analysis which has little to do with communicative ability. Nonetheless, using a balanced approach, grammar analysis has its place in the classroom. Unfortunately, because of certain standardized teaching practices, this type of teaching sometimes tends to dominate the classroom.

Musical

Ability to recognize and communicate using melody, rhythm, and harmony.

This type of learning is sometimes underestimated in ESL classrooms. If you keep in mind that English is a very rhythmic language because of its tendency to accent only certain words, you'll recognize that music plays a role in the classroom as well.

Intrapersonal

Learning through self-knowledge leading to understanding of motives, goals, strengths and weaknesses.

This intelligence is essential for long-term English learning. Students who are aware of these types of issues will be able to deal with underlying issues that can improve or hamper English usage.

Environmental

Ability to recognize elements of and learn from the natural world around us.

Similar to visual and spatial skills, Environmental intelligence will help students master English required to interact with their environment.

1. The last line of this paragraph was rewritten here:

Here is a discussion of the eight different intelligences Dr. Gardner proposes and _______ relationship to the ESL / EFL classroom.

Note that there is a blank space in it. This blank space could be filled in correctly by:

a) his

b) her

c) its

d) their

e) theirs

2. De acordo com o texto, qual modo de ensinar continuará a ser o mais usado no aprendizado de inglês?

a) Verbal / Linguistic

b) Visual / spacial

c) Body / Kinesthetic

d) Interpersonal

e) NDA

3. O texto

I- Informa que estudos no Canada, Estados Unidos e Inglaterra comprovam que alunos extrangeiros estudando inglês nestes paises terão seu aprendizado mais eficiente

II- “Intrapersonal” é o tipo de inteligência de quem tem a habilidade de conhecer, por exemplo, seus pontos fracos.

III- “Environmental” é o tipo de inteligência dos que se preocupam com o mundo natural.

IV – Inteligência do tipo “Musical” as vezes é subestimada na aula de inglês.

Estão certas:

a) I e IV

b) Apenas a III

c) II e IV

d) III e IV

e) II, III e IV

4. a palavra “nonetheless” linha (xx) poderia ser substituída sem alteração de sentido por:

a) and

b) instead of

c) moreover

d) forward

e) however

5) “Get along” em “Ability to get along with others, work with others to accomplish tasks.” (linha XXX). Poderia ser traduzido como:

a) manter-se distante

b) ter um longo

c) obter algo mais

d) relacionar-se bem

e) so longo de

RESPOSTAS

1- d

A palavra que falta é um pronome do caso possessivo e o mesmo concorda com a palavra “intelligences”.

2- a
No texto a frase : and [verbal linguistic] will continue to play the primary role in learning English

3- c
O autor informa que a razão pela qual estudantes têm mais facilidade de aprender em países de língua inglesa é o fato de terem como inteligência a “visual / spatial”. O que sinceramente é uma grande bobagem, a final, é possível aprender qualquer língua sem TER DE visitar o país de origem desta língua.

(QUICKIE 17) Subway: Five Dollar Footlong Monster

Jingle Hell

The diabolical geniuses behind Subway's "five-dollar foot-long" song.
By Seth Stevenson
Posted Monday, April 21, 2008, at 7:21 AM ET

The Spot: Various people and creatures (a police officer, a flight attendant, a Godzilla-type monster) hold up five fingers and then, using their outstretched palms, indicate a distance of roughly one foot. Meanwhile, a song plays. The lyrics, repeated again and again: "Five. Five dollar. Five dollar foot-long."

For a limited time, Subway is offering a special deal: foot-long subs for $5. Foot-longs were once Subway's "stock in trade," according to Chief Marketing Officer Tony Pace, but in recent years the smaller 6-inch subs have overtaken them in popularity. (The 6-inchers are often sold as part of a package deal—including a drink and a snack—designed to compete with other fast food outlets' value meals.) "We wanted to get back to our heritage," says Pace, "as a place where you can get a foot-long sub."

Hello folks!!!
Let's practice, shall we?!


(TTN) Latin American Banks

In May this year, three commercial banks in Argentina were sold to European rivals for a total of $ 1,6 billion. This is just one example of a revolution that is taking place in the financial services industry throughout Latin America. Foreign banks now control around 15% of total loans and 16% of total deposits in the six largest Latin American economies.



Brazil and Argentina in particular are attracting the attention of foreign banks, but for different reasons. In the bad old days of hyperinflation, Argentines reacted by buying dollars and keeping them in secret places at home. As a result, the banking system did not develop much. ln Brazil, on the other hand, people learned to live with inflation by indexing prices. The Brazilian banks needed sophisticated technology to collect and invest money instantaneously.



Today, a foreign company that buys a bank in Argentina can encourage new sectors of the population to open bank accounts. In Brazil, foreign investors can develop the financial services market for products such as credit cards, mortgages and consumer loans.

1) According to paragraph 1 of the text, in Latin America there is a revolution in:
a) population growth.
b) the banking sector.
c) inflation control.
d) the size of economies.
e) fiscal reform.


2) According to paragraph 2, when inflation was high, people in Brazil and Argentina:

a) reacted in different ways.
b) changed all their savings into dollars.
c) tried to live with sophisticated technology.
d) attracted the interest of foreign banks.
e) stayed at home as much as possible.



3)According to the text, banks in Argentina are

a) more profitable than banks in Brazil.
b) cheaper to buy than banks in Brazil.
c) less developed than banks in Brazil.
d) more complex than banks in Brazil.
e) safer places to keep money than banks in Brazil.
