Studying and Reading Strategies, ou Estratgias de Estudo e Leitura

www.pontodosconcursos.com.br

Ingls para Receita Federal Teoria e exerccios PROF: Vladia Mattar Buscar palavra por palavra no dicionrio uma prtica desaconselhvel, pois alm de ser exaustivo, desvia a ateno do leitor porque quebra seu ritmo produtivo devido a interrupes. Oh Teacher! O que devo fazer ento? Well... Sugiro as estratgias a seguir: 9 Oriente-se por meio das palavras cognatas que so aquelas palavras parecidas com as de nossa lngua. 9 Esteja atento s palavras repetidas. Se forem repetidas, porque muito provavelmente so de maior relevncia no texto. Caso no compreenda uma palavra repetida, ou palavra-chave, tente inferir seu significado atravs do contexto. 9 Observe todas as indicaes tipogrficas do texto: palavras escritas com letras maisculas, em itlico, com negrito, sublinhadas, smbolos, datas, desenhos, grficos, figuras, fotos, hipertextos etc. Todos estes recursos so utilizados com o propsito de enfatizar alguma parte do texto. 9 Freqentemente, o primeiro e o ltimo pargrafos de um texto so os mais significativos. 9 Utilize a tcnica de leitura Skimming* para ler rapidamente um texto, visando captar seu sentido geral. 9 Utilize a tcnica de leitura scanning* para buscar algo especfico no texto. *Veremos essas tcnicas a seguir! H duas estratgias bsicas para leitura rpida: skimmimg e scanning. Skimmimg uma leitura rpida para captar os conceitos e as idias principais do texto. uma explorao global, geral, feita com a leitura do ttulo, autor, figura, fonte do texto e a primeira frase de cada pargrafo. Esta tcnica boa para uma primeira leitura, ou seja, uma leitura superficial. Scanning tambm envolve uma leitura rpida, porm procura-se por algo especfico no texto, seja em resposta a uma pergunta, ou para confirmar uma informao. Ao se encontrar a informao buscada, faz-se a leitura de todo o trecho, ou pargrafo, conforme a necessidade. Qual voc deve usar? Depende do que a questo exige, do tempo do candidato e da complexidade da questo. Podemos usar uma ou outra, ou ambas, ou nenhuma delas. Por exemplo: quando a questo exige interpretao pura, devemos evitar estratgias rpida de leitura.
Prof. Vladia Mattar www.pontodosconcursos.com.br

Ingls para Receita Federal Teoria e exerccios PROF: Vladia Mattar Quando a questo exigir vocabulrio, usaremos scanning. Isto significa que voc deve localizar a palavra no texto e ler o trecho no qual ela se insere para entender ou deduzir, pelo contexto, seu significado. J o skimming pode ser usado quando a questo exige tipologia textual, por exemplo. Questes que exigem gramtica pura, muitas vezes podem ser respondidas sem releitura do texto ou at mesmo sem leitura do texto ( arriscado, mas verdade! ) Sempre sugiro pelo menos uma leitura superficial= skimming Como estratgia de estudo para as nossas aulas, sugiro: 9 Ter em mos, ou na tela, um dicionrio Ingls-Portugus ou InglsIngls, conforme seu grau de conhecimento do idioma. Ressalto que o dicionrio Ingls-Ingls ajuda enriquecer o vocabulrio. 9 Ao final de cada aula, relacione as novas palavras por assunto. Dessa forma voc criar um mapa mental semntico... your own vocabulary builder (exemplo ao final da aula). 9 Aproveite todas as oportunidades para ler em ingls e aprender novas palavras. Vale tudo: cinema, internet, letras de msicas, jogos e outros. Parte 2 Questes gabaritadas e comentadas

ESAF/RFB/2009 Text 1 REASON WITH HIM Question (Q) 1: Margolis: When you took office, Brazil was regarded as an underachiever, and the last among the BRIC nations. Now Brazil is considered a star among emerging countries. Whats happened? Lula: No one respects anyone who doesnt respect themselves. And Brazil always behaved like a second-class country. We always told ourselves we were the country of the future. But we never transformed these qualities into anything concrete. In a globalized world you cannot sit still. You have to hit the road and sell your country. So we decided to make strengthening Mercosul (the South American trading bloc) a priority, and deepened our relations with Latin America in general. We prioritized trade with Africa and went into the Middle East aggressively. Our trade balance today is diversified. This helped us cushion the blow Prof. Vladia Mattar www.pontodosconcursos.com.br 4

Ingls para Receita Federal Teoria e exerccios PROF: Vladia Mattar of the economic crisis. Q2: Margolis: Has Brazils success in navigating the economic crisis changed investorsviews? Lula: There was no miracle. We had a strong domestic market. We had consumers who wanted to buy cars. We reduced part of the sales tax and asked the companies to offer consumers credit on affordable items. Its the same case with refrigerators, stoves, washing machines, and with computers and the housing construction. Q3: Margolis: What are the lessons for other countries? Lula: The great lesson is that the state has an important role to play, and has great responsibility. We dont want the state to manage business. But it can be an inducer of growth and can work in harmony with society.

COMENTRIO Vamos ver a resposta do Presidente pergunta 2: ...There was no miracle. We had a strong domestic market. We had consumers who wanted to buy cars. We reduced part of the sales tax and asked the companies to offer consumers credit on affordable items. Its the same case with refrigerators, stoves, washing machines, and with computers and the housing construction... Strong domestic market: mercado domstico forte frail: frgil miracle: milagres affordable items: itens acessveis stoves = foges housing = moradia

a) ERRADA. the Brazilian domestic market was frail. Veja o texto: We had a strong domestic market. A alternativa diz que o mercado domstico brasileiro era frgil (frail), o presidente, na sua resposta, afirma que ns tnhamos um mercado domstico forte (strong). b) ERRADA. a miracle did [NOT] come about in Brazil. No texto: There was no miracle. A alternativa est na afirmativa e o texto traz uma negativa, ou seja, nega o milagre (no miracle). c) ERRADA. credit on affordable items was halved. No texto: () asked the companies to offer consumers credit on affordable items. O presidente afirmou em sua resposta que pediu (asked) s empresas para oferecer aos consumidores crdito para os itens acessveis (affordable items). J a alternativa diz que o crdito para itens acessveis (affordable items) foi reduzido pela metade ( halved vem de half= metade). d) CERTA. part of the sales tax was lowered. No texto o presidente diz ()We reduced part of the sales tax() , logo, imposto foi reduzido (reduced). Lowered (assertiva) = reduced (texto) = baixar/ reduzir Sales tax = imposto sobre venda

COMENTRIO No texto, as palavras diversified trade balance aparecem no trecho: Our trade balance today is diversified. This helped us cushion the blow of the economic crisis. diversified trade balance = balana comercial diversificada helped = ajudou economic crises = crise econmica

Vejamos as alternativas: a) ERRADA. contributed to worsen the global economic crisis. a balana comercial diversificada ajudou (helped) o pas na crise econmica. Worsen = piorar b) ERRADA. resulted from trade with one sole strategic partner. O texto fala de diversified trade balance e a alternativa fala, erradamente, em trade with one solo strategic partner (comrcio com um nico parceiro estratgico). c) ERRADA. been prevented by internal regulations. Prevented = evitada/ impedida
Prof. Vladia Mattar www.pontodosconcursos.com.br

Ingls para Receita Federal Teoria e exerccios PROF: Vladia Mattar internal regulations = regulamentaes internas O presidente trata da balana comercial diversificada como fator que teria ajudado o pas na crise e no como tendo sido evitada ou impedida (prevented) por regulamentaes internas. d) ERRADA. been considered as an unattainable goal. unattainable goal = objetivo inatingvel e) CERTA. minimized the adverse effects of the world crisis.

COMENTRIO Vamos as Key-words ( palavras-chave) ! The great lesson is that the state has an important role to play, and has great responsibility. We dont want the state to manage business. But it can be an inducer of growth and can work in harmony with society State = estado important role = papel importante great responsibility = grande responsabilidade manage = administrar, gerenciar inducer = indutor growth = crescimento Analisemos as assertivas: a)ERRADA. emphasizes the role played by the private sector. O texto fala da responsabilidade do Estado (state) e no do setor privado. b) ERRADA. criticizes initiatives derived from private ownership.

Land of Promise

1. In 2003 Goldman Sachs, an investment bank, selected Brazil, along with Russia, India and China, as one of the BRICs- the developing countries that would share dominance of the world economy by 2050. 2. In some ways Brazil is the steadiest of the BRICs. Unlike China and Russia it is a full-blooded democracy; unlike India it has no serious disputes with its neighbours. It is the only BRIC without a nuclear bomb. The Heritage Foundations Economic Freedom Index, which measures such factors as protection of property rights and free trade, ranks Brazil (moderate free) above the other BRICs (mostly unfree). One of the main reasons why Brazils growth has been slower than Chinas and Indias is that Brazil is richer and more urbanized. 3. The survey will argue that disgruntlement persists because Brazil is a battleground between progress and inertia. Since independence was proclaimed by the son of the Portuguese king, Brazil has been adding layer upon layer of change rather than sweeping away the old and starting afresh. 5. (ESAF/CGU/2008) In paragraph 1, four countries are referred to as a) unlikely to play a key role in the world economic scenario. b) the slowest-growing economies of the present. c) likely to dominate the world economy in the future. d) the fastest-growing economies over the past 50 years.

COMENTRIO: Guys, a idia central tratada neste pargrafo comparao do crescimento do Brasil ao da China e ndia.

QUESTES INDITAS

Text 4 The International Organisation of Supreme Audit Institutions (INTOSAI) operates as an umbrella organisation for the external government audit community. For more than 50 years it has provided an institutionalised framework for supreme audit institutions to promote development and transfer of knowledge, improve government auditing worldwide and enhance professional capacities, standing and influence of member SAIs in their respective countries. In keeping with INTOSAI's motto, 'Experientia mutua omnibus prodest', the exchange of experience among INTOSAI members and the findings and insights which result, are a guarantee that government auditing continuously progresses with new developments. INTOSAI is an autonomous, independent and non-political organisation. It is a non-governmental organisation with special consultative status with the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) of the United Nations. INTOSAI was founded in 1953 at the initiative of Emilio Fernandez Camus, then President of the SAI of Cuba. At that time, 34 SAIs met for the 1st INTOSAI Congress in Cuba.

PARTE 5 ESAF/AFRB/2009 Text 1 Reason with him

LISTA DE QUESTES E GABARITO SECO

Question (Q) 1: Margolis: When you took office, Brazil was regarded as an underachiever, and the last among the BRIC nations. Now Brazil is considered a star among emerging countries. Whats happened? Lula: No one respects anyone who doesnt respect themselves. And Brazil always behaved like a second-class country. We always told ourselves we were the country of the future. But we never transformed these qualities into anything concrete. In a globalized world you cannot sit still. You have to hit the road and sell your country. So we decided to make strengthening Mercosul (the South American trading bloc) a priority, and deepened our relations with Latin America in general. We prioritized trade with Africa and went into the Middle East aggressively. Our trade balance today is diversified. This helped us cushion the blow of the economic crisis. Q2: Margolis: Has Brazils success in navigating the economic crisis changed investorsviews? Lula: There was no miracle. We had a strong domestic market. We had consumers who wanted to buy cars. We reduced part of the sales tax and asked the companies to offer consumers credit on affordable items. Its the same case with refrigerators, stoves, washing machines, and with computers and the housing construction. Q3: Margolis: What are the lessons for other countries? Lula: The great lesson is that the state has an important role to play, and has great responsibility. We dont want the state to manage business. But it can be an inducer of growth and can work in harmony with society.

Land of Promise

1. In 2003 Goldman Sachs, an investment bank, selected Brazil, along with Russia, India and China, as one of the BRICs- the developing countries that would share dominance of the world economy by 2050. 2. In some ways Brazil is the steadiest of the BRICs. Unlike China and Russia it is a full-blooded democracy; unlike India it has no serious disputes with its neighbours. It is the only BRIC without a nuclear bomb. The Heritage Foundations Economic Freedom Index, which measures such factors as protection of property rights and free trade, ranks Brazil (moderate free) above the other BRICs (mostly unfree). One of the main reasons why Brazils growth has been slower than Chinas and Indias is that Brazil is richer and more urbanized. 3. The survey will argue that disgruntlement persists because Brazil is a battleground between progress and inertia. Since independence was proclaimed by the son of the Portuguese king, Brazil has been adding layer upon layer of change rather than sweeping away the old and starting afresh.

For more than 50 years it has provided an institutionalised framework for supreme audit institutions to promote development and transfer of knowledge, improve government auditing worldwide and enhance professional capacities, standing and influence of member SAIs in their respective countries. In keeping with INTOSAI's motto, 'Experientia mutua omnibus prodest', the exchange of experience among INTOSAI members and the findings and insights which result, are a guarantee that government auditing continuously progresses with new developments. INTOSAI is an autonomous, independent and non-political organisation. It is a non-governmental organisation with special consultative status with the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) of the United Nations. INTOSAI was founded in 1953 at the initiative of Emilio Fernandez Camus, then President of the SAI of Cuba. At that time, 34 SAIs met for the 1st INTOSAI Congress in Cuba.
