Apresentao
Caro aluno,
Nos dias de hoje, no h profissional que sobreviva

sem o conhecimento de lnguas estrangeiras, em especial
o ingls. Foi pensando nisso, e no dia a dia da sua profisso,
que elaboramos este material. O papel do(a) secretrio(a)
ampliou-se muito nas ltimas dcadas e essa tendncia
no para por a. So diversas e fundamentais as funes
do profissional de secretariado.
A ideia deste livro apresentar a voc a estrutura

da lngua inglesa para que esta seja uma importante fer-
ramenta em sua vida profissional. Alm da estrutura da
lngua, procuramos ilustrar de forma prtica o seu uso no
ambiente de trabalho do(a) secretrio(a), objetivo maior
deste material. Atender telefonemas internacionais, agen-
dar compromissos, fazer reservas, pedidos e reclamaes,
escrever cartas formais e informais, e at mesmo a prepa-
rao para enfrentar o mercado de trabalho foram preocu-
paes constantes no desenvolvimento deste livro.
Ento mos obra!
Deixamos aqui uma mensagem para sua reflexo:
Eu nunca ensino aos meus alunos. Somente tento

criar condies nas quais eles possam aprender. (Albert
Einstein)

R: Julia, this is my office and this is your workstation.
R: This is Larry, the import manager, and that is Suzie, the sales manager.
L: Hello, Julia. Welcome to CE!
S: Hi, Julia. Pleased to meet you.
J: Thank you. It is nice to meet you.
Understanding
Nice to meet you quer dizer Prazer em conhec-lo. Outra forma de dizer a mesma
coisa :
Pleased to meet you.
It is nice to meet you.
Quando algum nos diz nice to meet you, devemos responder:
Nice to meet you too.
Ao se despedir de algum noite, correto dizer:
Goodbye / Good night.
As palavras this e that significam:
este / esta e aquele /aquela.
The alphabet
Entre parnteses encontra-se a leitura das letras para facilitar a sua pronncia.

Names and titles

Informalmente, podemos chamar as pessoas pelo primeiro nome (first name,
given name). Formalmente, usamos um ttulo e o sobrenome (last name, family name).
Lembre-se de que tais ttulos so usados apenas com sobrenomes. Observe: Paul
Rubens Mr Rubens ou Paul, e no Mr Paul.
Mr = Senhor
Mrs = Senhora (mulheres casadas ou idosas)
Miss = Senhorita (mulheres solteiras e jovens)
Ms (diz-se miz) = ttulo neutro para mulheres
Dialogue 2 Spelling
bastante comum no dia a dia do profissional de secretariado surgir a necessi-
dade de se soletrar nomes e sobrenomes, ou mesmo usar siglas e abreviaes. Por essa
razo, indispensvel que conheamos bem o alfabeto em ingls.
No dilogo a seguir, Julia est almoando com seu colega de trabalho, Larry.
Observe como eles fazem quando no conseguem entender alguma palavra que foi
dita na conversa. Comstock Complete.

Contractions
Contractions so usadas apenas informalmente.

He is = hes He is not = hes not/ he isnt
She is = shes She is not = shes not/ she isnt
It is = its It is not = its not/ it isnt
We are = were We are not = were not/ we arent
They are = theyre They are not = theyre not/ they arent
Note: no usamos contractions para short answers afirmativas.

Question words
Quando uma pergunta comea com verbo auxiliar, a resposta afirmativa ou ne-
gativa (yes or no). Quando queremos uma informao, devemos usar question words.
So question words:
What o qu, qual Why por que
Where onde, de onde Which qual
When quando Whose de quem
Who quem How como

O nmero 0 (zero) geralmente lido da mesma forma que a letra o.

Meeting people
Em ingls americano, no se usa and entre os nmeros.

No cotidiano, a palavra hundred tambm pode ser utilizada na leitura de n-
meros que esto na casa dos milhares. Nesse caso, leem-se os dois primeiros
nmeros como se estivessem na casa das dezenas e, em seguida, a palavra
hundred. Por exemplo: 1200 twelve hundred.
Quando as palavras hundred, thousand, million, billion so usadas aps um

nmero, elas no tm plural, por exemplo, 2000 two thousand (sem s). No
entanto, quando usadas de forma genrica, tm. Ex.: Hundreds of candidates
took the test.

Greetings!
Multicultural differences in greetings you need to be aware of
(DUNN, 2007. Adaptado.)
Multiculturalism is a reality. Culture is not ethnic or racial. It is learned and each

culture is different. Treat everyone like a unique individual, as you would like to be
treated, dont value stereotypes, and use your emotional intelligence to be more
intuitive about how to communicate and negotiate with people from different cul-
Meeting people
tures. For example, most of the world does not greet by shaking hands. People from
Asian cultures bow. Some cultures naturally greet by hugging. Some cultures kiss!
17
Greetings are critical first moves in relationships. Start with a polite word or
two, like Mr And Mrs Taekwondo, its nice to meet you finally, and observe what
they do and are comfortable with. Then imitate their gesture, bow, hand shake, hug
or nothing! Use your intuition! When in doubt, err on the side of conservatism.
Glossary
About = sobre Naturally = naturalmente
Bow = fazer reverncia Nothing = nada
Doubt = dvida Often = frequentemente
Each = cada Other = outro, outros
Err = erre People = pessoas
Ethnic = tnico Polite= educado
Everyone = todos Reality = realidade
Finally = finalmente Relationship = relacionamento
First moves = primeiros passos Shake hands = dar um aperto de mo
Gesture = gestos Side = lado
Greeting = saudao Start = comear
Hug = abraar Some = algumas
Kiss = beijar Treat = tratar
Learned = aprendido Value = valorizar
Like = como Word = palavra
Male friends = amigos homens World = mundo
Most = a maioria Would like = gostaria

Dialogue 1 Office routine

Rachel est mostrando o escritrio a Julia.
This is my routine. Every morning at 8 oclock, I turn on the computer, read and
answer my e-mails. After that, I check the newspapers for relevant news about the CE
clients. I keep the articles in a file, here in this file cabinet.
Rachel: You know Larry, he manages and negotiates all transportation of impor-
ted goods.
Rachel: And Suzie organizes, trains and motivates sales teams in CE.
At work
Rachel: Here is your job. You photocopy this material, fax this document to Mr
Carraro at the Monet Corporation and print the weekly reports from all departments.
27
Julia: Where is the photocopier, Rachel?
Rachel: Its down the hall, next to the mail room.
Understanding
Na frase I keep the articles in a file, here in this file cabinet, Rachel diz que:
Guarda artigos sobre clientes em uma pasta dentro do arquivo.
Segundo Rachel, Larry... manages and negotiates all transportation of imported

goods:
gerencia e negocia todo o transporte de artigos importados.
As palavras articles, newspaper e weekly report, significam, respectivamente:
artigos, jornal, e relatrio semanal.
Os equipamentos de escritrio como fotocopiadora, aparelho de fax, impressora,

em ingls so, respectivamente:
photocopies, fax machine e printer.
Simple present affirmative and negative

O simple present expressa o presente do dia a dia, das aes regulares, rotineiras.
Pode expressar ainda fatos e verdades universais.
No simple present, o verbo auxiliar o do, que aparece em frases negativas e inter-
rogativas. Diferentemente do verbo to be (ser, estar), o do no tem significado, apenas
exerce funo de verbo auxiliar.
Cuidado! O verbo do tambm existe como um verbo comum e significa fazer.
I never do homework on weekends. Nunca fao dever de casa nos fins de semana.

I work at CE.
Ingls Instrumental
You work every day.

He works in a bank.
She works part time.
28
It works with batteries.
We work together.
They work in the US.
He/ she/ it (3.a pessoa do singular) form

Na forma afirmativa do presente simples, acrescenta-se s ao final do verbo sempre
que o sujeito for he/ she/ it.
I work He works
Acrescentamos es aos verbos terminados em s, ss, sh, ch, x e o.
I go He goes
I miss He misses
Os verbos terminados em y precedidos de consoante perdem o y e ganham ies.
I study He studies
I cry He cries
O verbo have (ter), na terceira pessoa do singular fica has.
I have He has
Na forma negativa, aparece o verbo auxiliar do. No caso de he/ she/ it, o verbo
auxiliar does e o verbo comum perde o s usado na forma afirmativa.
Subject Aux. verb Verb Complement

You do not work every day.

Frequency adverbials How often?

No simple present, comum usarmos frequency adverbials ou expresses que des-
crevam a frequncia de uma atividade. A pergunta comea com How often...? (com que
frequncia...?)
Ex.: How often do you travel? / How often are you in Texas?
always sempre

sometimes s vezes
once a month uma vez por ms
30
twice a week duas vezes por semana

Days of the week

Usamos a preposio on sempre que nos referirmos a dia, seja dia do ms ou da
semana.
Ex.: I have staff meeting on Monday.
Monday = segunda-feira Friday = sexta-feira
Tuesday = tera-feira Saturday = sbado
Wednesday = quarta-feira Sunday = domingo
Thursday = quinta-feira
Months of the year

Sempre que nos referirmos a ms, usamos a preposio in.
Ex.: I have vacation in February.
January = janeiro February = fevereiro March = maro
April = abril May = maio June = junho
July = julho August = agosto September = setembro
October = outubro November = novembro December = dezembro
Time telling What time is it?

Para falar de horrio, usamos a preposio at:
At work
I start work at 8 oclock.
31
Em ingls, quando temos uma hora exata, usamos oclock depois do nmero:
3:00 ou 15:00 = Three oclock.
De 1 a 30 minutos aps uma hora exata, dizemos x minutes past / after x hours.
3:15 = fifteen past / after three.
Ou, ainda, apenas lemos os nmeros: three fifteen.
Quando falta de 1 a 30 minutos para completar a prxima hora exata, dizemos x

minutes to x hours.
3:50 = ten to four.
Quando passam ou faltam15 minutos para a prxima hora exata, podemos usar a
expresso a quarter.
2:15 = a quarter past / after two.
2:45 = a quarter to three / two forty-five.
Quando se passam 30 minutos, podemos cham-los de half.
2:30 = half past two / two thirty.
AM / PM ou a.m. / p.m.
AM de meia-noite a meio-dia.
PM de meio-dia a meia-noite.

Secretaries
(SORGEN, 2009)
If your idea of a secretary is someone who answers the telephone, types a letter,
and brings the boss coffee, its time to update that image. Todays secretary is a highly
skilled, educated individual with a promising career path. Secretarial jobs are more
Ingls Instrumental
critical now than ever before, says Tim Fisher, president of Nancy Adams Personnel.
These people are really responsible for making the whole show go. According
to Mr Fisher, advances in office technology have given rise to a need for staff mem-
34
bers who have sophisticated skill levels. Secretaries today are an offices automa-
tion, he asserts. You can do without an accountant before you can do without a
secretary. Linda Burton, vice president of Office Mates, agrees. Secretaries are res-
ponsible for so much these days, she explains. Theyre really an integral part of a
business operations.
Because of the downsizing that many companies have been forced to undergo
in the past few years, Ms Burton adds, todays administrative support worker wears
more hats than ever before. In addition to a strong word processing background,
says Ms Burton, secretaries must know how to spell, punctuate, and write gramma-
tically correct documents. They are also being called upon to perform a variety of
middle management duties such as purchasing and customer service.
In the twelve years Ive been here, says Ms Burton, Ive seen this field really
grow. Today, secretaries are being handpicked for positions, perhaps even being in-
terviewed two or three times for one job... thats a process that used to be reserved
for middle and upper management slots. That just shows you what a vital function
they serve.
Glenda Scherr wont disagree with that. An executive secretary with The
Associated: Jewish Community Federation of Baltimore, Mrs Scherr began working
as a secretary when she was 17, lets just say, a long time ago. I used to visit my
aunt who was a secretary, Mrs Scherr recalls, and I liked the feeling of running an
office, of being number one. Though Mrs Scherr now regrets not having gone on
to college, she has always enjoyed the fact that people depend on her and that she
learns a lot on the job. Being a secretary today is dramatically different from what it
was when she first started out, says Mrs Scherr. Everything is so high-tech now. In
the first place, I only got my first computer three years ago so I dont have as much
computer knowledge as Id like.
In addition, says Mrs Scherr, she has had to learn to deal with other sophistica-
ted equipment, including complex phone systems and fax machines. Its been an
educational process. Things have changed so much that Ive had to learn everything
from scratch.
Mrs Scherr notes that a large part of her job is organizing meetings for Associa-
ted staff members and their lay volunteers, a complicated undertaking both becau-
se of the number of meetings held throughout the year and the numbers of people
involved on each committee. Coordinating everyones schedule can get crazy at
times. You definitely have to be organized. Basically, though, my job is to coordinate
At work
everything, Mrs Scherr explains. I try to keep the department running smoothly.
35
Though Mrs Scherr points out that she loves the people in the department with
whom she works we really are like a family and they treat me like gold she
thinks that being a secretary today doesnt command the same respect that it once
did. Ive always considered myself a professional, she comments, but a lot of others
dont. I dont think were as highly regarded as we should be. For Mary Ellen Noyes,
an executive assistant at Ottenheimer Publishers, appreciation, rather than respect,
is what she looks for on the job. Respect is something earned between individuals
that has nothing to do with your job, she comments. When it comes to my work,
I want to be appreciated and I think that I am. I feel good about what I do and the
people I work with make me feel good too. Like Mrs Scherr, Ms Noyes also became
an office worker right out of high school, primarily because she didnt have a clear
idea of what else she might like to do. Now, 13 years later, she is enthusiastic about
her work and recommends it highly as a career choice.
Its a great option for those who are people-oriented, she says, as well as for
those who enjoy keeping things running smoothly. That is harder than it once was
though, says Ms Noyes, because todays office workers are frequently doing more
than one job at a time. Because of technology as well as the economy, Ms Noyes
says, many companies use just one person, where they might have used two or
three before. An office might have had a receptionist, a secretary, and an administra-
tive assistant, but now you more or less have just one person doing it all.
Career counselors say that more and more people are entering the field of
office work, drawn by the opportunity to handle just such a variety of responsibili-
ties, as well as by the lure of a high-tech environment which is seen as a springboard
to more lucrative positions. According to Phil Manzie, coordinator of the Maryland
Career Information Delivery System, there will be approximately 245,000 new job
openings nationwide for secretaries between now and the year 2005, leading to
close to 3 million secretaries in the labor force by then. Projected growth for the field,
says Mr Manzie, is 8 percent. In Maryland, there will be about 1100 new job openings
between now and 2005, a growth of 1 percent. (These figures do not reflect statistics
for medical and legal secretaries.) The U.S. Department of Labor reports that in 1992-
93, annual salaries for secretaries ranged from $15,000 to $39,000. In Maryland, a
beginning secretary earns about $17,000. The average salary for everyone working
in the field is just over $26,000, and some experienced workers can earn as much as
$39,000. A top-notch administrative assistant can earn anywhere from $26,500 to
Ingls Instrumental
$30,000 in the Baltimore area, confirms Linda Burton of Office Mates. Companies
expect the best from these people and are willing to pay for their skills.
36
Where can people find those skills? At Fleet Business School in Annapolis, com-
pany president Carole Nicholson points to a changing curriculum that reflects the
changing times. We still teach keyboarding on a typewriter, Ms Nicholson says, but
now we also have 100 computers as well. Everyone learns word processing. Everyo-
ne also takes business English, punctuation, and communications. Its a years worth
of intense training... its not easy.
Begun in 1934 as a secretarial school, Fleet now offers training for administrative
assistant (the politically correct terminology for secretary), in addition to programs
in microcomputer, legal secretary, business and travel, and small business mana-
gement. Though Fleet is a co-ed school, says Ms Nicholson, and she does see more
men entering the field (primarily because of the computer), by and large, most
office workers are still women. According to Maripat Blankenheim, public relations
director of 9 to 5, National Association of Working Women, in 1970 97.8 percent of
all secretaries were women; by 1988 that had grown to 99.1 percent. One reason
that number is growing, says Fleets Carole Nicholson, might be because becoming
a secretary is a good way to get your career going. The average age of our students
is 25, she says, and many have already been to community college or even four-year
college, and are now coming to us so they can be trained for a job. Its hard to find
employment these days in your chosen field, Ms Nicholson adds. Being a secretary
is a viable, honorable profession, and a great way to get your foot in the door before
you move on... if you want to move on. David Humes, a supervisor at Jewish Vocatio-
nal Services, agrees. Years ago, he says, it was unfortunate, but a lot of women with
college degrees would be put in secretarial positions even if they didnt want that.
Today, women are finding that if they have the right office skills, they can enter a
company at a much higher level than with just a college degree. Theres much more
of a career ladder than there used to be.
What secretaries need today, says Mr Humes, are high-level technical, compu-
ter, and people skills, a good deal of efficiency, and good work habits and attitudes.
They have to be faster, smarter, and handle a greater variety of tasks than they once
did, Mr Humes adds. What were entry-level skills three years ago would now be
unemployable.

The importance of being punctual

(BILANICH, 2006. Adaptado.)
Punctuality demonstrates your respect for other people. It is a great way to

make a positive personal impression. Being late to meetings, or missing deadlines
hurts your image.
Punctuality only indicates good things about you. Being on time is a good way
to show someone that you care about them. Arriving on time shows that you res-
pect others. Respect is the foundation for creating great long-term relationships.
Being on time is fundamental for anyone who wants to be professional. Com-

panies do business with people they like, know, and trust.They like doing business
with people in control. If you always arrive on time, you give the impression that you
are in control and manage things well.
Other people are affected by what you do and dont do. If you dont do or deli-
ver as promised, you affect other peoples works. Your habits are your brand. Brands
take time and practice to build.

Anyone = qualquer um Long-term = longo prazo

Listen, listen, listen

(WILEY, 2007. Adaptado.)
We are blessed with two ears and one mouth. This suggests we should listen
more than we speak. In client service situations, listening is the secret to the satisfac-
tion of clients. Before you can solve clients problems, you must understand them.
You do this by listening really listening. Listen for words and concepts; listen for
facts and emotion; listen for problems and solutions that are often in the informa-
tion clients give you. Dont assume that good communication is speaking like John
F. Kennedy. Listening is the most ignored aspect of good communication. More mi-
sunderstandings occur because of poor listening than other problems.
To be a good listener, suspend that necessity to speak when others are

speaking. Dont prepare what youll say next. Listen attentively with ears, eyes, mind,
and body.

Interviewers favorite questions... and answers

(MULLIGAN, 2007. Adaptado.)
What kinds of questions do recruiters ask? Here are some ideas for how to
answer questions in a job interview.
What do you see yourself doing five years from now?
Answer something that will demonstrate your ambition and your wish to
remain in the company. I want to be an astronaut is out of question. This question
helps the interviewer know if the candidate will be happy in that position, or if he
wants to work in it only until he can find something better.
Whats your greatest strength?
Dont just talk about your strength relate it to the position.
Whats your greatest weakness?
Show that you know your weakness and have strategies to solve it. For exam-
ple, you could say, Im not very organized, so I always answer my e-mails and phone
calls right away.
Tell me about a time when you had to work with someone with a difficult
personality.
Show that you have the ability to be sensitive to the needs of others but can
influence them. Never say I just avoided them or They made me cry.
