 Problema na Clamba
Naquela manhã, depois de plomar, fui ver drão o Zé queria ou não ir
comigo lá na clamba. Pensei melhor grulhar. Mas na hora de ponir o
celular, vi-o passando com a golipesta. Logo, me dei conta de que ele já
tinha outro programa.
Então resolvi ir plaziado. Até chegar à clamba, tudo bem. Estacionei o
zulpo bem em frente, pus a chave no bolso e desci correndo para
aproveitar ao chinta aquele sol maravilhoso.
Não parecia haver um glapo na clamba. Tirei as grispes, pus o
bangoula. Estava pli quieto ali, que até me saltipou. Mas logo esqueci
das saltipações no prazer de nadar no lito, inclusive tirei o bangoula
para ficar mais à vontade. Não sei quanto tempo fiquei nadando,
siltando, corristando no lito.
Mas foi depois, na hora de voltar à clamba, que vi que nem as grispes,
nem o bangoula estavam mais aonde eu tinha deixado. O que fazer?

 Fazendo / tecendo
inferências contextuais
• Ao encontrar uma palavra desconhecida,
podemos tentar adivinhar seu significado
pelo contexto: observando a sentença em
que a palavra aparece, bem como as
sentenças anteriores e posteriores.

Livro: Leitura em Língua Inglesa

 Fazendo / tecendo
inferências contextuais
• A habilidade de inferir é utilizada também
para resgatar mensagens que não são
indicadas explicitamente no texto (“ler nas
entrelinhas”)
• Para ler nas entrelinhas é necessário ter em
mente as ideias expressas pelo texto, ao invés
de palavras isoladas.

Livro: Leitura em Língua Inglesa

Recursos para inferir palavras ou ideias:
1. Conhecimento prévio (background knowledge):
conhecimento que o leitor já possui sobre o assunto.
2. Contexto semântico: o significado do texto como
um todo.
3. Contexto linguístico: pistas que indicam se a palavra
é substantivo, um adjetivo, um verbo, etc.
4. Contexto não-linguístico (informação não-verbal):
pistas contidas em gravuras, gráficos, tabelas, etc.
5. Conhecimento sobre a organização textual: pistas
contidas no título, subtítulo, divisão em parágrafo, etc.
 Example
“Parkinson’s disease is a progressive neurological
disorder involving the death of brain cells.”

1. Background knowledge;
2. Images;
3. Semantic and linguistic context.

“Technology and the family”

Has technology been good for family life?

http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2013/aug/03/technology-good-family-life
“Come Saturday night, everyone really does gravitate
into the living room to watch "event television", if
only to tweet or text their friends about it. Like it or
not, The X Factor really is the superglue holding family
life together.”
Jim Shelley, TV critic and columnist

“Technology is getting in the way of a shared

experience, not facilitating it. How about all doing the
same thing at the same time – embracing the
collective. That's what family life is about for me. And
sorry to be sound as old as the hills, but how about
muting that cacophony of imported sounds and
everyone just talking to one another?”
Peter Stanford, writer, journalist and broadcaster
