ALPHABET
Em funo da ubiquidade do ingls no mundo, h uma variedade de pronncias, ritmos, entonaes dessa lngua. Em vista disso, atualmente j no faz mais sentido falar em pronncia correta igual a do falante nativo, pois no h apenas um padro a ser seguido: o ingls hoje uma lngua global, que pertence a todos e no apenas aos falantes nativos. Por isso, em ingls brasileiro, no est errado se voc disser [mausi] ao invs de [maus] para mouse, ou [hti dgui] ao invs de [ht dg].

GRAMMAR & VOCABULARY


Desde as primeiras lies desse livro (e ao longo das prximas lies tambm), voc tem usado diferentes recursos lingusticos para perguntar, responder, opinar, discordar, etc., tais como verbos no Simple Present, verbo TO BE e pronomes pessoais e interrogativos. Voc lanou mo deles no uso da lngua em diferentes situaes. Agora vamos analis-los em seus aspectos funcionais. Um verbo importante para descrever pessoas/lugares/circunstncias em ingls o VERBO TO BE, pois ele indica, entre outras coisas, caractersticas, estados, identidades, percepes. Ex: She is tall. He is happy. Im from Santa Maria. Outra caracterstica do VERBO TO BE sua funo como verbo auxiliar quando precisamos negar ou perguntar. Para converter o TO BE em sua forma negativa acrescenta-se a partcula NOT depois do verbo; para a forma interrogativa desloca-se o verbo para o incio da sentena. Junto com seu professor, tente completar o quadro abaixo com as diferentes formas desse verbo.
PRESENT TENSE Personal Pronoun English Portuguese I You He She It We You They Affirmative am are is Negative am not Interrogative* are you...?

is not/isnt are we...?

Four Skills 1 - Unit 1 | 17 As duas primeiras colunas da tabela acima correspondem aos PRONOMES PESSOAIS, onde I/you/he/she representam as pessoas do singular, we/you/ they as pessoas do plural e o it representa o singular para coisa/animal/ objeto/circunstncia. Complete a segunda coluna dos pronomes pessoais com o correspondente em portugus. * As perguntas feitas com o VERBO TO BE so chamadas de YES/NO QUESTIONS, pois pedem uma resposta que comece com SIM ou NO. Veja o exemplo: Ex: Paulo: Excuse me, is this room for the CELS/LINC class? Jessica: Yes, it is. Para perguntas que demandam outro tipo de resposta (diretas ou indiretas) so usados os PRONOMES INTERROGATIVOS. Veja alguns exemplos de uso desses pronomes: [Conversation between two students that meet for the very first time before a CELS/LINC class] Paulo: My name is Paulo, by the way. Whats your name? Jessica: Im Jessica. Paulo: Whats your major Jessica? Jessica: Its History. And yours is Engineering? (looking at his bag) Paulo: Yep. History is cool! But difficult! Too many dates to memorize... Jessica: Yeah Paulo: So, where are you from? Jessica: I was born here in Santa Maria Paulo: So, do you like German? Jessica: Not really. Paulo: Why not? Jessica: No special reason Its fine. Os PRONOMES INTERROGATIVOS expressam idias de diferentes naturezas (pessoa, tempo, lugar etc), por isso uma forma de entendermos seu uso conhecer o que cada um deles demanda. Assim, com a ajuda de seu professor complete o quadro a seguir com o correspondente do pronome em portugus e o tipo de informao que ele exige quando empregado: PRONOMES INTERROGATIVOS PORTUGUS TIPO DE INFORMAO

s! Note

Como vimos anteriormente o verbo TO BE tambm funciona como auxiliar para sentenas negativas e interrogativas no SIMPLE PRESENT, mas sentenas com outros verbos tambm necessitam de um verbo auxiliar. Com todos os outros verbos usa-se os auxiliares DO, para os pronomes I/you/we/they, e DOES, para he/she/it. A estrutura das sentenas segue o mesmo padro: na forma negativa acrescenta-se NOT aps o auxiliar (DO NOT/DOES NOT) ou as formas contradas DONT/DOESNT; para sentenas interrogativas o auxiliar deslocado para o incio e o verbo perde a marca** de tempo presente da forma afirmativa. Veja os exemplos: Ex: Does she study Biology? No, she doesnt. Jessica studies History. ** Quando formulamos sentenas afirmativas no SIMPLE PRESENT devemos atentar para certas regras gerais: 1. Sentenas afirmativas no usam os auxiliares DO e DOES; 2. Sentenas com verbos na terceira pessoa do singular (he/she/it) so acrescidos de S ao final da palavra: Ex: She likes Apple. 3. Sentenas com verbos na terceira pessoa do singular que terminem em O, S, SH, CH e X so acrescidos de ES ao final da palavra: Ex: He watches TV. 4. Sentenas com verbos na terceira pessoa do singular que terminem em Y precedido de consoante, o Y excludo acrescenta-se IES ao final da palavra. Ex: Jessica studies History.

LISTENING
In texts such as sitcoms and movies, meaning is construed by a combination of non-verbial text (images, sounds, etc) and verbal text (audio and/or captions). Paying attention to the non-verbal text (e.g. images) and making inferences based on it is an useful strategy for understanding the verbal content of such texts. Based on this, now lets watch the video Magali - English presentation without the audio.

GRAMMAR & VOCABULARY


* Na primeira unidade aprendemos que perguntas feitas com o VERBO TO BE pedem SIM ou NO como resposta, no entanto perguntas que usam outros verbos auxiliares (DO/DOES/DID/CAN) tambm so YES/NO QUESTIONS e demandam resposta semelhante. Veja os exemplos: Ex: a. Do you have a pet? Yes, I do./ No, I dont. b. Did you do the homework? Yes, I did./ No, I didnt. c. Can you play soccer? Yes, I can./ No, I cant. Como voc deve ter notado, o que todas essas formas tem em comum o fato de utilizarem o mesmo auxiliar para perguntar e responder, assim: se a pergunta comear com DO/DOES/DID/CAN, sua resposta dever contar esses auxiliares, pois eles substituem a informao central da pergunta. Nos exemplos, do/dont, did/didnt e can/cant referem-se, respectivamente, a have a pet, do the homework e play soccer.

GRAMMAR & VOCABULARY


Um recurso lingustico imprescindvel para descrever a famlia e relaes de parentesco so os ADJETIVOS POSSESSIVOS, pois indicam pertencimento. Alm disso, como o prprio nome sugere, esses adjetivos tambm podem indicar posse, por exemplo: Ex.: Thats my folder. Os adjetivos possessivos tm a mesma funo de qualquer adjetivo: descrever/ qualificar substantivos. Por isso, seguem a mesma regra de posicionamento de outros adjetivos, precedendo os substantivos os quais qualificam, como em: Ex.: My car is bigger than her car. The dog wagged its tail. Are your great grandparents still alive? Em vista disso, os ADJETIVOS POSSESSIVOS so diferentes dos PRONOMES POSSESSIVOS. Esses ltimos tm a funo de substituir substantivos, e no de qualific-los. Estude o quadro abaixo para ver a diferena na forma desses dois grupos em ingls:

Personal Pronouns I you he she it we you they

Possessive Adjetive my your his her its our your their

Possessive Pronouns mine yours his hers its ours yours theirs

14. Com base nessas dicas, complete as oraes com o adjetivo possessivo adequado. a) Hes from Spain. b) Theyre married. c) Were brothers. d) Shes eight. e) Im British. f) Youre students. names Alberto. childrens names are Lauren and Daniel. parents are French. names Peter. books are in the classroom.

brothers nine.

Four Skills 1 - Unit 2 | 33 15. Seguindo o exemplo, transforme o grupo ADJETIVO POSSESSIVO + SUBSTANTIVO sublinhado em cada orao em um pronome possessivo. Exemplo: This book is my book. a) Her book is outdated. b) Your team lost. c) Their father is a university lecturer. d) Did you see our pet? e) I think it is his book. This book is mine. is outdated. lost.

s! Note

is a university lecturer. Did you see I think it is ? .

Alm dos adjetivos possessivos, outro recurso que pode ser usado em ingls para indicar posse o s, ou seja, o CASO GENITIVO. Em Santa Maria (e talvez em outras partes do Brasil), o uso do s (apstrofo+s) em nomes de estabelecimentos virou moda. Veja o exemplo: Tatus Lanches Nesse exemplo, o s est indicando posse, ou seja, que os lanches so do Tatu. Por isso, ambas as estruturas tm o mesmo significado: Tatus Lanches = Lanches do Tatu Em ingls, o caso genitivo geralmente usado para indicar posse/ pertencimento associados a pessoas ou a animais:

Ex.:

Judys father is George. The members forum. The cats tail

Para indicar posse/pertencimento relacionado a coisas, idias, etc., geralmente se usa of: Ex.: The name of the book is Basic English I. (ao invs de The books name) The roof of the garage is dirty. The color of the dress is red. Pode-se usar ambas as formas nos seguintes casos:

1. grupos de pessoas, organizaes: Ex.:The committees decision is final. ou The decision of the committee is final. I believe in the companys success. ou I believe in the success of the company.

34 | Unit 2 - Four Skills 1

s! Note

2. lugares: Ex.: The worlds population decreased. ou The population of the world decreased Santa Marias new cinema hall is small. ou The new cinema hall of Santa Maria is small.

3. expresses de tempo e perodos de tempo (embora a forma s seja preferida nesses casos): Ex.: Next weeks meeting was cancelled. ou The meeting of next week was cancelled. I have todays newspaper. ou I have the newspaper of today. I have a weeks holiday. ou I have a holiday of a week. Para substantivos no singular ou no plural, mas que no terminam em s usa-se s. Ex.: Jane is Georges wife. The boys father is George. The committees decision is final. The childrens energy is endless.

Para substantivos no plural e que terminam em s usa-se apenas o apstrofo ( ). Ex.: The boys father is George. The participants decision is final.

Para substantivos prprios que terminam em s usa-se s ou apenas o apstrofo ( ). Ex.: Charless cousin is famous. ou Charles cousin is famous. Para indicar posse/pertencimento relacionada a uma coisa, idia etc que compartilhada por duas ou mais pessoas, usa-se (s) depois do ltimo substantivo. Ex.: Jane and Georges daughter is Judy. Para indicar posse/pertencimento relacionado a coisa, idia etc que no so compartilhados por duas ou mais pessoas, mas que pertencem a mesma classe de coisas, usa-se (s) depois de cada substantivo. Ex.: Janes and Georges cars are spaceships.

GRAMMAR & VOCABULARY


* Para descrevermos atividades que fazem parte da nossa rotina, usamos o SIMPLE PRESENT, como na descrio feita por Dyliana Brisova. No entanto para nos referirmos a atividades de rotina que acontecem no momento em que se fala, usamos o PRESENT CONTINUOUS. Essa variao temporal do Ingls equivale ao gerndio do portugus (-ando, -endo, -indo), pois para formarmos um tempo contnuo acrescentamos o sufixo ING ao final da palavra. A estrutura** do PRESENT CONTINUOUS a seguinte:
Personal pronoun VERBO TO BE no SIMPLE PRESENT main verb + -ING

I you he/she(it) you/we/they

am are is are

studying

** Essa estrutura tambm se aplica ao PAST CONTINUOUS, onde o TO BE vai no passado (WAS/WERE).

FORMAS NEGATIVA E INTERROGATIVA DO PRESENT CONTINUOUS Para converter o Present Continuous em sua forma negativa, acrescentamos a partcula NOT ao verbo TO BE no presente e mantemos o verbo principal em sua forma contnua. Ex.: She is not studying. Para a forma interrogativa, deslocamos o verbo TO BE para o incio da sentena e o verbo principal no sobre alterao. Ex.: Is she studying?

7. Um recurso lingustico til para falar de atividades habituais so os advrbios de frequncia. Por exemplo: nunca, sempre, s vezes, raramente, etc. No quadro abaixo h uma lista desses advrbios em ingls. Posicione-os no adverb continnum indicando quais sinalizam maior freqncia (em direo extremidade esquerda do always) e quais indicam menor freqncia (em direo a extremidade direita do never).

OBSERVE Quando o verbo principal da orao for o verbo TO BE o advrbio de freqncia sempre vem depois do verbo. O advrbio de frequncia SOMETIMES e USUALLY podem vir em trs lugares diferentes em uma mesma frase, no incio, no meio ou no fim da frase. Ex.: SOMETIMES, I take the bus to the university. I SOMETIMES take the bus to the university. I take the bus to the university, SOMETIMES.

8. A posio dos advrbios na orao em ingls segue algumas regras. Em geral, os advrbios devem preceder o verbo principal da orao. Com base nisso, insira os advrbios do parntese na respectiva orao. Ex.: I play on my computer when I finish my homework. (often) Answer: I often play on my computer when I finish my homework.

a) He listens to the radio. (often) b) They read a book. (sometimes) c) Pete gets angry. (never) d) Tom is very friendly. (usually) e) I take sugar in my coffee.

My Deaf Family
JARED: My name is Jared, Im 15 years old and I have a family of six. My dads name is Leslie. My moms mane is Bridgetta. I have a younger brother, his name is Gideon. I have a little sister named Sabrina. My youngest brother is Elijah and this is My Deaf Family. Being a hearing kid in a deaf Family feels normal to me, because I have nothing really to compare it to Im going to have to say the best thing from coming from a Deaf family is... When I was younger Id get in trouble and theyd threaten to call my parents, and I could just say, uh, you cant call them. Well, I love my parents, I wouldnt want them to be different, but my parents dont understand how tough it is. ELIJAH: See that. Wanna make this? JARED: You wanna make that? ELIJAH: Yeah! JARED: you wanna make a plane? ELIJAH: Yeah! JARED: Sometimes Ill think that would be nice to have them hearing. Having English as your second language will make it really hard in school. Like, when I was little my dad would pronounce things wrong JARED: Wanna use this for a plane? ELIJAH: I cant do it. JARED: Now that Eli has me I can pronounce them right and he can not be laughed at. SABRINA: Sometime I like to watch Michael Jackson dance. JARED: The only thing I really cant talk about with my parents is really, music. You can go over the lyrics with them but you cant tell them how music feels. MON: Dont stop until you get enough. So, when Sabrina was born there was a hearing test right away and the nurse was looking real concerned going in and out of the room. And the nurse said, your daughters not responding and I said Oh, shes deaf. Thats fine with us. But when Elijah was born, everyone in the hospital comes in saying Congratulations, your son passed the hearing test!. And Im like, Congratulations? Uh, does that mean we failed up until now as parents with our other kids? DAD: With Sabrina. MOM: Oh, with Sabrina and Gideon? As a deaf person, I believe its a gift. You know being deaf is so much of who I am I feel like my life is so much richer for it, and I really feel content.

Mikes description of his day


This morning I got up really early. I went for a jog in the park. I really dont like jogging, but youre health is important and I try and jog at least three or four times every week. After jogging, I went home, I took a shower, and I had a cup of hot coffee. Then, I cleaned my apartment. Not fun either, but I work really hard during the week. It gets very messy, so it took me about two hours to clean it. In the afternoon, I met my friend for lunch. We went to a fast-food restaurant. I never eat breakfast, so I was really hungry. We each ate double cheeseburgers and fries. I know junk food is not that great, but I love it. In the afternoon, we went shopping. I bought some shirts and a pair of shoes for work. I dont like to spend money on work clothes, but luckily everything was on sale. Later that evening, I saw a movie. We saw the new Batman movie. I generally dont like Superheroes movies, but this one was great. The special effects were amazing, and the story was much more interesting than the others. After the movie, I said good bye to my girlfriend went home, relaxed and read a book. It was a long day.
