My name is Jackie Robinson. I was the first African-American to play in Major League Baseball,
thanks to Branch Rickey. I broke the color barrier on April 15, 1947, and trust me, it wasn’t easy. I
was spit at, called names, and purposely injured because of my skin color. Even though many times
I wanted to yell back, I did not because I would be giving people what they wanted, proving I am
worthless. It took great difficulty and determination, but in time I was liked even by the white fans.
Me breaking the color barrier led to many great black baseball players like Willie Mays and Hank
Aaron.

LEARNING TIPS
Improving your pronunciation with phonetic
transcriptions
One of the ways to improve your pronunciation in English is to get more and more
familiar with phonetic transcriptions. They represent each distinct speech sound with
a separate symbol. They are largely used in dictionaries. Look at some examples of
phonetic symbols and some words exemplifying them.
You can use PhoTransEdit, an online tool that may help you improve your
pronunciation. The earlier you start recognizing these symbols, the earlier you will
guarantee more proficiency in English.
You type a word or a short text in English, then click on “transcribe” and, after a few
seconds, you get the phonetic transcription. The next step is to try to pronounce the
word or the sentence based on the result you get.

released a report on how Latino Household Wealth fell by 66% from 2005 to 2009. That

LET’S READ!
a) What do you know about graffiti? Where can you find it?
1. Read the first paragraph of the text below. Does it add anything new to your answers? If so,
what?
GRAFFITI
Graffiti has existed for thousands of years in one form or another. It can be described as anything from a
simple scratch mark to an elaborate wall painting. Nigel Blunt from UKGraffiti.com believes that graffiti can
“enhance and alter its surroundings through a colourful explosion of geometric and serpentine shapes and
colours.”
However, many people associate graffiti with anti-social behaviour and gang culture, rather than being
considered an art form. So what are the laws around graffiti and where can you do it?
Is graffiti illegal?
The laws on public property are very strict and anyone caught doing graffiti can be arrested and prosecuted
under the Criminal Damage Act 1971. Offenders can go to prison for ten years or fined if the damage costs
more than £5,000. If the damage caused is less than £5,000, you could face three months imprisonment or a
£2,500 fine. The Anti- Social Behaviour Act 2003 introduced new powers for local councils to punish offenders
and to help them clear up illegal graffiti. These included:
• On-the-spot fines of £50 to anyone caught doing graffiti on public property. These can be given out by police
officers, community support officers or local authority officials;
• Giving local authorities the power to give clean-up notices to owners of street furniture such as phone boxes
if they have graffiti on them. If the property is not cleaned in 28 days the authority can remove the graffiti
themselves and charge the owner for this service;
• Making it an offence to sell spray paint to under-16s. If a shopkeeper can’t prove they took reasonable steps
to determine the age of the person, they can be fined up to £2,500.
HINT
Não se preocupe se o significado de uma palavra não estiver claro. As palavras em volta dela e seu
próprio conhecimento sobre o tópico podem ajudá-lo a construir o significado.
2. The text “Graffiti” was originally published in the United Kingdom. Find elements in the
text indicating that it was created there.
3. Based on the text, complete the chart below in your notebook with arguments for and
against graffiti. Add your own ideas as well.
FOR
AGAINST
5. Look at this illustration. Find a sentence in the text that describes this scene. Write it down
in your notebook.
Psonha/ID/BR
“Graffiti” is the plural formal of graffito. It comes from the Italian word graffito, which means
“a little scratch.”
6. Consider your answer in activity5. Do you agree with this punishment? Tell your reasons to
a classmate. You can use sentences as in these examples.
7. Read these hypothetical situations in the UK and decide how much each person would
probably have to pay as punishment. Write the figures in your notebook.
a) Someone draws graffiti on the wall of an important theater. The theater owner spends
£3,500 to remove the pictures and repaint the wall.
b) A student does graffiti on a wall near his school. Police officers see him doing it, and they
immediately come to talk to him.
c) The owner of a shop sells spray paint to a 14-year-old girl. He knows her age, but he doesn’t
hesitate to sell her the product.
8. Do you agree that shopkeepers should be penalized if they sell spray paint to under-16s?
Justify your answer in your notebook.

With shows like Dancing With the Stars and So You Think You Can Dance in full swing, dancing is becoming
one of America’s favorite pastimes. There is even National Dance Day, which was started in 2010 to
“encourage Americans to embrace dance as a fun and positive way to maintain health and fight obesity.”
Dancing provides physical, psychological, and social benefits galore, so put on your dancing shoes and follow
along.
Dancing may also be good for your mood. It has been shown to reduce depression, anxiety, and stress and
boost self-esteem, body image, coping ability, and overall sense of wellbeing, with the benefits lasting over
time. In one study, it even helped control “emotional eating” in obese women who eat as a response to stress.
The authors of a meta-analysis of 27 studies on the effectiveness of dance movement therapy, published in
Arts in Psychotherapy this year, concluded that dancing should be encouraged as part of treatment for people
with depression and anxiety.

Though other forms of exercise can have many of the same benefits, dancing is more appealing to some people,
so they are more likely to stick with it.
For example, at the end of a study that compared tango dancing to mindfulness meditation, 97 percent of
participants chose to receive a voucher for a tango class rather than one for mindfulness meditation. (By the
way, the study found that both activities reduced depression, but only dancing reduced stress levels.) In
another study, attendance was higher with waltzing than conventional exercise, possibly because “dance is a
form of exercise in which movement, social interaction, and fun are mixed together,” the researchers said. […]

Capoeira is a martial art that combines elements of fight, acrobatics, music, dance and rituals.
[…] Although there are few official history records, it is known that Capoeira was created
nearly 500 years ago in Brazil by African slaves (mainly from Angola). Taken from their homes
against their will and kept in slavery, they started inventing fighting techniques for self-
defense. To cover their inside combats from their prisoners, the African slaves used their
traditional music, singing and dancing. Thus, the Capoeira continued its development and soon
became not only for self-defense but for rebellion.

You are going to read some literary texts written in English. Literary texts are basically of these
three genres:
Each genre can have different sub-genres. Now we are going to focus on the presentation of
small texts of poetry. This way you will have an idea of how language is used in literature.
Poetry
Limericks
A limerick is often a funny poem with a strong beat. Limericks are very light hearted poems
and can sometimes be utter nonsense. They are great for kids to both read and write as they
are short and funny.
The first line of a limerick poem usually begins with “There was a…” and ends with a name,
person or place.
This means lines 1,2 and 5 rhyme and lines 3 and 4 rhyme.
Also, lines 1,2 and 5 should have 7 – 10 syllables and lines 3 and 4 should have 5 – 7 syllables.
Adapted from <https://www.youngwriters.co.uk/types-limerick>. Accessed on April 4, 2016.

The author of limericks III, IV and V lived in the 19th century, and he is famous for his
limericks and other nonsense poetry. Learn a little bit about him by reading an excerpt of his
biography.
Edward Lear (12 May 1812 – 29 January 1888) was an English artist, illustrator, author and
poet, and is now known mostly for his literary nonsense, in poetry and prose and especially his
limericks, a form he popularized.

3. Now we are going to read a limerick created by Grace Gifford Plunkett (1888-1955), an Irish
cartoonist of the twentieth century. Grace Gifford married an Irish revolutionary, Joseph Mary
Plunkett, on the night before he was executed for being one of the signatories of the Irish
Republic and having fought in the Easter Rising of 1916. They were married only for a few
hours and she never married again, but never lost her sense of humor. She made a living by
illustrating commercials, theater posters and sketches. She also published a couple of books of
her cartoons. Here’s Grace’s limerick:
& go as a biscuit”.

do to be ethically fashionable. The prompts in the box below may help you to complete
sentences from a to g.
• Serious concerns are often raised about exploitative working conditions in the factories that make cheap
clothes for the high street.
• Child workers, alongside exploited adults, can be subjected to violence and abuse such as forced overtime, as
well as cramped and unhygienic surroundings, bad food, and very poor pay. […]
• Cotton provides much of the world’s fabric, but growing it uses 22.5% of the world’s insecticides and 10% of
the world’s pesticides […].
• Current textile growing practices are considered unsustainable because of the damage they do to the
immediate environment. […]
• The low costs and disposable nature of high street fashion means that much of it is destined for incinerators
or landfill sites. […]
• Many animals are farmed to supply fur for the fashion industry, and many people feel that their welfare is an
important part of the Ethical Fashion debate. […]

1. Visual arts are all forms of art which are predominantly visual in their nature. Read a more
complete definition of visual arts. Then label each picture on the left page using vocabulary
from the text. See an example:
Picture 1 printmaking
The visual arts are art forms that create works that are primarily visual in nature, such as
ceramics, drawing, painting, sculpture, printmaking, design, crafts, photography, video,
filmmaking, and architecture. These definitions should not be taken too strictly as many
artistic disciplines (performing arts, conceptual art, textile arts) involve aspects of the visual
arts as well as arts of other types. Also included within the visual arts are the applied arts such
as industrial design, graphic design, fashion design, interior design and decorative art.
3. Take a look at the pictures of artistic expressions on the previous page again and decide
which one(s) is/are created:
d) with different types of materials such as marble, steel, wood, stone, glass, bronze, ivory, etc.
e) mainly with pencil, crayon, pen, ink, chalk, and other materials.
f) basically with the use of cameras.
4. Read the excerpts of two famous visual artists’ biographies. Do they mention any of the
kinds of art represented on the previous page? If so, what are they?
Though he was a relatively poor student, Picasso displayed a prodigious talent for drawing at a
very young age. According to legend, his first words were ‘piz, piz,’ his childish attempt at
saying ‘lápiz’, the Spanish word for pencil.
Van Gogh began painting with intensity and emotion. The colors in his paintings became more
vibrant and bright. He would sometimes apply the paint directly onto the canvas from the
tubes leaving the paint thick with rough brush strokes. Sometimes it would take weeks for his
paintings to dry because the paint was so thick.

b) Have your ever seen famous paintings or other pieces of visual art in person?
Ben Agbee, born in 1966 in Ghana, is one of the most successful Ghanaian artists. He has over the
years carved a niche for himself with extremely evocative works. Ben majored in art, graduating in
1989, and worked for four years in advertising and design before starting to paint and discovering
his talent that is markedly original and vigorous. His acrylic paintings are in vibrant and earthy
colors, mainly of women in attractive clothing, and incorporate unusual shapes.
[…]
Contemporary African artist Ben Agbee (full name Benjamin Agbenyega), born in Ghana in 1966.
I was a keen photographer as a teenager but it fell by the wayside as I got older and life got busier. I
picked up a camera again after my daughter was born, then bought a DSLR and started a Photo-a-
Day project. I quickly became hooked. I’ve always enjoyed being creative and with digital
photography I have finally found my form.
About
He was born in 1982 and grew up in São Paulo. It was in 1998 that Fabio began to cover the gray
walls of his home town with his work and besides spray, he always carries lots of creativity and
good humor in his backpack.
The trademark blue Indian was the result of his search for a character that could show the
indigenous people from Brazil. It could not have been chosen better. With their typical blue and
distinctive shape, the Indians find themselves always in funny and curious situations, provoking the
observer to think about contemporary issues like consumerism, corrupt politicians and the
environment.
Cranio gets his inspiration from life, cartoons and the famous painter Salvador Dali. The artist has
been improving his techniques, innovating in the context, but without losing the style he is known
for.
One of the best comments that defines Cranio’s work came from a British collector: “Cranio has
developed an unique and significant group of characters who are not only vibrating, but also
pleasant to be seen. Furthermore, the images created by him always pass a message of important
concepts we often forget in our lives. These set of qualities is what makes his art excellent to
appreciate and great to think and philosophize about.”

A compound word is created when two or more words are joined together (e.g. bedroom) or
used adjacent to one another so often that the combination of words is interpreted as a single
noun (e.g. police station).
2. In your notebook, copy these compound words using capital letters in the word stress.
Example: HANDmade.
AUDIO 213. There are cases of non compound words which can cause some confusion. In these
cases, the stress comes on the second word. Listen to the pairs of words and copy the
compounds in your notebook.

2. Replace the letters with the most appropriate words from the chart above and learn about
some Brazilian artists and their craft. Use your notebook.
a) The golden grass is a plant grown in Jalapão, in the state of Tocantins. A main feature is the
color that resembles gold. According to reports from local artisans the production with golden
grass is indigenous heritage from the Xerente people. With this material they can create B art:
bracelets, earrings, key chains, bags, belts, vases, decorative items and utensils.
b) Aparecido Gonzaga Alves, also known as Din, started working with wood in the 2000s,
sanding parts for a sculptor that is C friend. Din’s best-known pieces are the sculptures he
makes of Luiz Gonzaga. Known as the King of Baião, Luiz Gonzaga was an important popular
Brazilian singer and composer. Born in Pernambuco, the artist sang accompanied by D
accordion, bass drum and triangle and was often invited to play in June parties and forró
parties.
c) After 30 years working with ceramics, Zezinha became one of the most prestigious artisans
of the Jequitinhonha Valley. She began making crafts out of necessity, as it was the only source
of income available at the time. Zezinha carves flowers and pets, but the clay dolls became E
trademark. The artisan’s work has an improved technique and differentiated finish. Women
portrayed by F are mostly brides or mothers.
3. Another way of saying that something belongs to someone or something else is by adding
’s. Read an example taken from the transcription of the Let's listen and talk! section.
“Rawai is one of Phuket’s famous tourist locations and our community in particular […]”
In this case, “Phuket’s famous tourist locations” means “the famous tourist locations located in
Phuket.”
If the possessor is a singular noun, add ’s, like in girl’s handicraft. If the possessor is a plural
noun, just add an apostrophe (’), like in workers’ project.
If we have more than one possessor of the same item, we add ’s to the last noun, like in Carol
and Pedro’s art teacher.
4. Based on what you learned about the art craft in activity 2, identify who made the following
crafts. In your notebook, write the correct combination of numbers–letters to match the
columns.
III The =QQ= craft has influenced the work done with golden grass.
A Xerente’s.
B Zezinha’s craft.
C Aparecido’s.

Bryshere “Yazz” Gray is in the midst of filming the second season of Empire, but he made an appearance on
stage at the iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas to introduce one of Friday night’s performers, Lil Wayne.
Billboard caught up with Yazz, who’s known for playing the role of Hakeem Lyon on Empire, backstage at the
show.
“I’m happy to be here in Vegas. I’m actually bringing out one of my role models I always looked up to musically,
so it’s great,” Yazz said.
When asked about the upcoming season of Empire, he wouldn’t give away any spoilers – but he did divulge a
few details about what to expect when the show returns on Sept. 23.
“We’re actually filming season two, episode seven now, so right now we’re in it – I know what’s going on. I just
wanna tell you,” Yazz teased, before continuing: “I can just tell you this. The storyline is going to increase, the
drama is going to get more impactful, the music is gonna get better and better. You’re just gonna see brothers
fight for success.”
“Our writers trust in us, and they trust that we’re gonna take what they give us and we’re gonna make it a
great creation, you know. So, we know… we’re just not gonna tell you,” he said with a laugh.”
Yazz went on to talk about the evolution of his character Hakeem’s music.
“This season, you can expect from Hakeem just to have music that’s gonna evolve better than last season.
You’re gonna see him grow,” he said. “The music gets better. We have Ne-Yo working, we have Swizz Beatz
working with us, so it’s great. It’s a very dynamic team we have right now.”
“So what you can expect from Yazz … you never know,” he added. “I could drop a single here, I could drop a
single there. Just stay tuned. Really. Anything with Yazz is a secret. It's unpredictable.”

Each group should have a dice and four counters (if you do not have counters, you can use
coins).
Imagine you are going to take part in a Carnival parade. Roll the dice and move across the
board. You must tell your group why you need that item in the parade. If you fell on the
umbrella square, you could say:
If you give a reasonable and creative explanation, you may roll the dice when it is your turn
again.
If the other players think your explanation is not reasonable, you will miss your next turn.
If another student takes the same item, he or she should give a different reason. The more

Mardi Gras
A Christian holiday and popular cultural phenomenon, Mardi Gras dates back thousands of years to pagan
spring and fertility rites. Also known as Carnival, it is celebrated in many countries around the world. Brazil,
Venice and New Orleans play host to some of the holiday’s most famous public festivities, drawing thousands
of tourists and revelers every year.
New Orleans is famous for a unique variety of music created from the one-of-a-kind cultural gumbo the city
has been steeped in since its foundation. Marching bands, various street performers, and local hip-hop, and
punk scenes ensure that a visit to New Orleans at any time of the year has something for every music lover,
while the Mardi Gras celebrations and parades emphasize traditional New Orleans jazz and brass bands.

Alice Walker is a very well-known African-American novelist and this reading section will be
focused on her work. Considering that it would be impossible to reproduce the entire text of
the novel The Color Purple in the space we have here, we chose to present some excerpts.
Poster of Alice Walker’s book The Color Purple, by Orion Publishing Co.
First, learn something about Alice Walker by reading the biographical text below.
Alice (Malsenior) Walker was born on February 9, 1944, in Eatonton, Georgia. She worked as
a social worker, teacher and lecturer, and took part in the 1960s Civil Rights Movement in
Mississippi. Having won the 1983 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, she is also an acclaimed poet and
essayist.
She is best known for her stories about African-American women who achieve heroic stature
within the borders of their ordinary day-to-day lives.
Like many of Walker’s fictional characters, she was the daughter of a sharecropper (a farmer
who rents his land), and the youngest of eight children. At age eight, Walker was accidentally
injured by a BB gun shot to her eye by her brother. Her partial blindness caused her to
withdraw from normal childhood activities and begin writing poetry to ease her loneliness.
She found that writing demanded peace and quiet, so she spent a great deal of time working
outdoors sitting under a tree.
Alice Walker attends The Color Purple Broadway Opening Night, in New York, USA, 2015.
The Color Purple is about Celie, a woman so down and out that she can only tell God her
troubles, which she does in the form of letters. Poor, black, female and uneducated, held down
by class and gender, Celie learns to lift herself up from sexual exploitation and brutality with
the help of the love of another woman. Here Walker presented problems of women bound
within an African context, encountering many of the same problems that Celie faces.
As The Color Purple is a long novel, we are going to reproduce some Celie’s letters from the
first pages, so we can have an idea of the way the novel is written and how it develops. In the
beginning we are told of how Celie suffers sexual violence from her father, Alphonso (Fonso),
after which she has two babies who are taken from her.
You better not never tell nobody but God. It’d kill your mammy.
DEAR GOD,
I am fourteen years old. I am I have always been a good girl. Maybe you can give me a sign letting
me know what is happening to me.
Last spring after little Lucious come I heard them fussing. He was pulling on her arm. She say It too
soon, Fonso, I ain’t well. Finally he leave her alone. A week go by, he pulling on her arm again. She
say Naw, I ain’t gonna. Can’t you see I’m already half dead, an all of these chilren.
[…]
DEAR GOD,
My mama dead. She die screaming and cussing. She scream at me. She cuss at me. I’m big. I can’t
move fast enough. By time I git back from the well, the water be warm. By time I git the tray ready
the food be cold. By time I git all the children ready for school it be dinner time. He don’t say
nothing. He set there by the bed holding her hand an cryin, talking bout don’t leave me, don’t go.
She ast me bout the first one Whose it is? I say God’s. I don’t know no other man or what else to say.
When I start to hurt and then my stomach start moving and then that little baby come out […]
chewing on it fist you could have knock me over with a feather.
He took it. He took it while I was sleeping. Kilt it out there in the woods. Kill this one too, if he can.
DEAR GOD,
He act like he can’t stand me no more. Say I’m evil an always up to no good. He took my other little
baby, a boy this time. But I don’t think he kilt it. I think he sold it to a man an his wife over
Monticello. I got breasts full of milk running down myself. He say Why don’t you look decent? Put
on something. But what I’m sposed to put on? I don’t have nothing.
I keep hoping he fine somebody to marry. I see him looking at my little sister. She scared. But I say
I’ll take care of you. With God help.
2. What information about the narrator (Celie) can you find in the letters?
3. Why did the narrator cross out “I am” in “I am I have always been a good girl.” in the first
letter?
4. Who is Lucious?
5. When the narrator is asked by her mother “Whose it is?,” in the second letter, what does the
pronoun it refer to?
a) Because she does not know how she had her baby.

SYNOPSIS
Universal/Everett Collection/Fotoarena
Based on the incredible true story, The Express follows the inspirational life of college football hero Ernie
Davis (Rob Brown), the first African-American to win the Heisman Trophy. Following his draft by the NFL,
tragedy struck the star athlete and he was never able to take the professional field. But his tale would forever
change the face of professional sports.
Raised in poverty in Pennsylvania coal-mining country, Davis overcame seemingly insurmountable obstacles
to become an unstoppable running back for the Syracuse Orangemen. Under the guidance of coach Ben
Schwartzwalder (Dennis Quaid) – a hard-nosed surrogate father with an obsession for winning a national
championship – Davis would develop from an impressive high-school athlete into a legend.
While everyone agreed Ernie Davis was a miracle player, few thought this quiet young man would become an
icon for the burgeoning civil rights movement dividing America in the early 1960s. Refusing to play by the
unspoken racist rules of the day, Davis broke through one barrier after another to alter the way fans looked at
men of his color.
Though leukemia struck the player a terrible blow in the prime of his life, his spirit soared when most would
crumble. Forcing his bull-headed coach to re-examine a life lived in color-based privilege, Davis would join the
ranks of black pioneers who inspired a movement that smashed barriers on and off the playing field.

“Brazilian graffiti art is considered among the most significant strand[s] of a global urban art movement, and its
diversity defies the increasing homogeneity of world graffiti.” — Design Week
Michelle Young/Photographer’s Archive
In March 2009, the Brazilian government passed law 706/07 which decriminalizes street art. In an
amendment to a federal law that punishes the defacing of urban buildings or monuments, street art was made
legal if done with the consent of the owners. As progressive of a policy as this may sound, the legislation is
actually a reflection of the evolving landscape in Brazilian street art, an emerging and divergent movement in
the global street art landscape. In Brazil, there is a distinction made between tagging, known as pichação, and
grafite, a street art style distinctive to Brazil.

Amor-Peixe Project Consolidated as an Example of Sustainable Handicraft
Production
By Geralda Magela
The Amor-Peixe Association was set up in 2003, in Corumbá, a Brazilian city on the banks of the Paraguay
River, which forms the frontier between Brazil and Paraguay. With a lot of hard work and creativity, the
women make use of fish skins that were formerly thrown away and turn them into beautiful handicraft objects
such as belts, bags, wallets, diaries, clothing, bracelets and costume jewellery. The project not only brings in an
income for the women but it enhances their self-esteem and is an excellent example of making good use of
waste materials.
Since 2003 WWF-Brazil has been supporting the association by providing environmental education and
fostering social insertion. In 2007, the NGO ran a series of capacity building workshops designed to enable the
group to re-organise its structure.
That work was coordinated by biologist Terezinha Martins of WWF-Brazil’s Pantanal Programme and
professor Josenildo Souza e Silva from the Federal University of Rondônia, a fisheries engineer and a specialist
in participative methodologies.
The educators and the group established a work plan that included a series of live workshops and activities to
be undertaken in the intervals between them. At the workshops they learned about design, associativism,
entrepreneurship, environment, participative management and public policies.
The knowledge acquired in the capacity building courses and the other activities has helped these
craftswomen to improve their organisation and produce objects that are more attractive to the market while at
the same time valuing the Pantanal’s regional culture and the environment. “Nowadays they receive
invitations to participate in events like fairs and seminars and their work is widely recognised as an example
of sustainable handicrafts”, declares Terezinha.
The recycling work generates income and reinforces these Pantanal women’s identities. In addition to the
social and organisational aspect, the project has strongly emphasised environmental considerations. In the
Amor-Peixe, nothing is thrown away. Everything is made use of. Even the fish scales are transformed into
costume jewellery. […]

Plays
You will read the beginning of the first act of a very famous play by Samuel Beckett, called
Waiting for Godot. This play is divided into two acts, and it was first published in 1956. Waiting
for Godot is part of the tradition of the Theater of the Absurd, which is explained in the text
below.
The “Theatre of the Absurd” is a term coined by Hungarian-born critic Martin Esslin. The term
refers to a particular type of play that became popular during the 1950s and 1960s. This
theater movement presented on stage the philosophy articulated by French philosopher Albert
Camus in his 1942 essay, The Myth of Sisyphus, in which he defines the human condition as
basically meaningless. Camus argued that humanity had to resign itself to recognizing that a
fully satisfying rational explanation of the universe was beyond its reach; in that sense, the
world must ultimately be seen as absurd. Famous writers of this kind of play are Eugène
Ionesco, Samuel Beckett, Jean Genet, Arthur Adamov, and Harold Pinter.
1. The next text is a short biography of one of the most representative writers of the Theater
of the Absurd movement. Read it and then answer the questions in your notebook.
Samuel Beckett
Samuel Barclay Beckett (13 April 1906 - 22 December 1989) was an Irish avant-garde novelist,
playwright, theatre director, and poet, who lived in Paris for most of his adult life and wrote in both
English and French. His work offers a bleak, tragicomic outlook on human nature, often coupled
with black comedy and gallows humour.
Beckett is widely regarded as among the most influential writers of the 20th century. Strongly
influenced by James Joyce, he is considered one of the last modernists. As an inspiration to many
later writers, he is also sometimes considered one of the first postmodernists. He is one of the key
writers in what Martin Esslin called the “Theatre of the Absurd.” His work became increasingly
minimalist in his later career.
Beckett was awarded the 1969 Nobel Prize in Literature “for his writing, which – in new forms for
the novel and drama – in the destitution of modern man acquires its elevation.”
Samuel Beckett (1906-1989), considered Beckett was awarded the 1969 Nobel Prize in one of the most
influential writers of the 20th century.

2. You are going to read the beginning of the first act of Waiting for Godot, in which two
characters are introduced. They are in the middle of the road discussing aimlessly while they
wait for someone called Godot. The discussion of Godot only appears some pages later. This
reading passage gives us an idea of what the Theater of the Absurd is about – the
meaninglessness of life.

ACT I
Evening.
Estragon, sitting on a low mound, is trying to take off his boot. He pulls at it with both hands, panting.
He gives up, exhausted, rests, tries again.
As before.
Enter Vladimir.
ESTRAGON:
(giving up again). Nothing to be done.
VLADIMIR:
(advancing with short, stiff strides, legs wide apart).
I’m beginning to come round to that opinion. All my life I’ve tried to put it from me, saying Vladimir,
be reasonable, you haven’t yet tried everything. And I resumed the struggle. (He broods, musing on
the struggle. Turning to Estragon.) So there you are again.
ESTRAGON:
Am I?
VLADIMIR:
I’m glad to see you back. I thought you were gone forever.
ESTRAGON:
Me too.
VLADIMIR:
Together again at last! We’ll have to celebrate this. But how? (He reflects.) Get up till I embrace you.
ESTRAGON:
(irritably). Not now, not now.
VLADIMIR:
(hurt, coldly). May one inquire where His Highness spent the night?
ESTRAGON:
In a ditch.
VLADIMIR:
(admiringly). A ditch! Where?
ESTRAGON:
(without gesture). Over there.
VLADIMIR:
And they didn’t beat you?
ESTRAGON:
Beat me? Certainly they beat me.
VLADIMIR:
The same lot as usual?
ESTRAGON:
The same? I don’t know.
VLADIMIR:
When I think of it… all these years… but for me… where would you be… (Decisively.) You’d be
nothing more than a little heap of bones at the present minute, no doubt about it.
ESTRAGON:
And what of it?
Página 161
VLADIMIR:
(gloomily). It’s too much for one man. (Pause. Cheerfully.) On the other hand what’s the good of
losing heart now, that’s what I say. We should have thought of it a million years ago, in the nineties.
ESTRAGON:
Ah stop blathering and help me off with this bloody thing.
VLADIMIR:
Hand in hand from the top of the Eiffel Tower, among the first. We were respectable in those days.
Now it’s too late. They wouldn’t even let us up. (Estragon tears at his boot.) What are you doing?
ESTRAGON:
Taking off my boot. Did that never happen to you?
VLADIMIR:
Boots must be taken off every day, I’m tired telling you that. Why don’t you listen to me?
ESTRAGON:
(feebly). Help me!
VLADIMIR:
It hurts?
ESTRAGON:
(angrily). Hurts! He wants to know if it hurts!
VLADIMIR:
(angrily). No one ever suffers but you. I don’t count. I’d like to hear what you’d say if you had what I
have.
ESTRAGON:
It hurts?
VLADIMIR:
(angrily). Hurts! He wants to know if it hurts!
ESTRAGON:
(pointing). You might button it all the same.
VLADIMIR:
(stooping). True. (He buttons his fly.) Never neglect the little things of life.
ESTRAGON:
What do you expect, you always wait till the last moment.
VLADIMIR:
(musingly). The last moment ... (He meditates.) Hope deferred maketh the something sick, who said
that?
ESTRAGON:
Why don’t you help me?
VLADIMIR:
Sometimes I feel it coming all the same. Then I go all queer. (He takes off his hat, peers inside it, feels
about inside it, shakes it, puts it on again.) How shall I say? Relieved and at the same time... (he
searches for the word)... appalled. (With emphasis.) AP-PALLED. (He takes off his hat again, peers
inside it.) Funny. (He knocks on the crown as though to dislodge a foreign body, peers into it again,
puts it on again.) Nothing to be done. (Estragon with a supreme effort succeeds in pulling off his boot.

VLADIMIR:
There’s man all over for you, blaming on his boots the faults of his feet. (He takes off his hat again,

alarming. (Silence. Vladimir deep in thought, Estragon pulling at his toes.) […]

Narrative
1. You are going to read a short story by a very famous British writer, Somerset Maugham.
First, learn a little about the genre “short story” and about this author. Then answer some
comprehension questions.
Short stories
It is difficult to define what a short story is. Many authors of different nationalities have
examined the question over the years, such as Edgar Alan Poe, Julio Cortázar, and Frank
O’Connor. We believe that humans have always told stories, and at some point they started to
“write” them. Some people argue that Bible stories such as Cain and Abel are the precursors
ofthe genre. Very well-known stories are Tales from an Arabian Night (1001 Arabian Nights),
from the 10th century, and The Canterbury Tales, by Chaucer, from the 14th century. Although
the definition is difficult, we can look into the novel, and try to draw a comparison, according
to what different theoreticians say.
NOVEL
Longer narrative
Relates to “film”
More detailed
Fluid language
SHORT STORY
Brief piece of work, although one cannot limit the number of pages
According to Poe, it will be read in just one sitting
Less descriptive
Relates to “photography”
More concise
Condensed language

Somerset Maugham
Born in Paris, of Irish ancestry, Somerset Maugham was to lead a fascinating life and would become
famous for his mastery of short evocative stories that were often set in the more obscure and
remote areas of the British Empire. Suffering from a bad stammer, he received a classic public
school education at King’s School in Canterbury, Kent. Rather more unconventionally he studied at
Heidelburg University where he read philosophy and literature. He then studied in London,
eventually qualifying as a surgeon at St Thomas’s hospital. […]
Somerset Maugham was the master of the short, concise novel and he could convey relationships,
greed and ambition with a startling reality. […] His English is clear and lucid and this makes his
books easy to come to terms with. His works are often full of the basest, and yet more interesting, of
the human vices but can still evoke the day-to-day feelings and emotions that allow us to
understand and identify with his characters.
Playwright, novelist and short story writer William Somerset Maugham (1874-1965).
a) Maugham was born in Paris, but were his ancestors French as well?
2. Here are extracts of one of Somerset Maugham’s short stories. Read the text and then
answer the questions.
The Verger
By W. Somerset Maugham
There had been a christening that afternoon at St. Peter’s, Neville Square, and Albert Edward
Foreman still wore his verger’s gown. He kept his new one, its folds as full and stiff though it were
made not of alpaca but of perennial bronze, for funerals and weddings (St. Peter’s, Neville Square,
was a church much favoured by the fashionable for these ceremonies) and now he wore only his
second-best. He wore it with complacence for it was the dignified symbol of his office, and without
it (when he took it off to go home) he had the disconcerting sensation of being somewhat
insufficiently clad. He took pains with it; he pressed it and ironed it himself. During the sixteen
years he had been verger of this church he had had a succession of such gowns, but he had never
been able to throw them away when they were worn out and the complete series, neatly wrapped
up in brown paper, lay in the bottom drawers of the wardrobe in his bedroom.
The verger busied himself quietly, replacing the painted wooden cover on the marble font, taking
away a chair that had been brought for an infirm old lady, and waited for the vicar to have finished
in the vestry so that he could tidy up in there and go home. Presently he saw him walk across the
chancel, genuflect in front of the high altar and come down the aisle; but he still wore his cassock.
“What’s he ’anging about for?” the verger said to himself “Don’t ’e know I want my tea?”
The vicar had been but recently appointed, a red-faced energetic man in the early forties, and Albert
Edward still regretted his predecessor, a clergyman of the old school who preached leisurely
sermons in a silvery voice and dined out a great deal with his more aristocratic parishioners. He
liked things in church to be just so, but he never fussed; he was not like this new man who wanted
to have his finger in every pie. But Albert Edward was tolerant.
Página 165
St. Peter’s was in a very good neighbourhood and the parishioners were a very nice class of people.
The new vicar had come from the East End and he couldn’t be expected to fall in all at once with the
discreet ways of his fashionable congregation.
“All this ’ustle,” said Albert Edward. “But give ’im time, he’ll learn.”
When the vicar had walked down the aisle so far that he could address the verger without raising
his voice more than was becoming in a place of worship he stopped.
“Foreman, will you come into the vestry for a minute. I have something to say to you.”
[…]
The vicar preceded Albert Edward into the vestry. Albert Edward was a trifle surprised to find the
two churchwardens there. He had not seen them come in. They gave him pleasant nods.
“Good afternoon, my lord. Good afternoon, sir,” he said to one after the other.
They were elderly men, both of them and they had been churchwardens almost as long as Albert
Edward had been verger. They were sitting now at a handsome refectory table that the old vicar
had brought many years before from Italy and the vicar sat down in the vacant chair between them.
Albert Edward faced them, the table between him and them and wondered with slight uneasiness
what was the matter.
[…]
“He’s been naggin’ them he ’as,” said the verger to himself. “He’s jockeyed them into doin’
something, but they don’t like it. That’s what it is, you mark my words.”
[…]
“Foreman, we’ve got something rather unpleasant to say to you. You’ve been here a great many
years and I think his lordship and the general agree with me that you’ve fulfilled the duties of your
office to the satisfaction of everybody concerned.”
“But a most extraordinary circumstance came to my knowledge the other day and I felt it my duty
to impart it to the churchwardens. I discovered to my astonishment that you could neither read nor
write.”
“The last vicar knew that, sir,” he replied. “He said it didn’t make no difference. He always said there
was a great deal too much education in the world for ’is taste.”
“It’s the most amazing thing I ever heard,” cried the general. “Do you mean to say that you’ve been
verger of this church for sixteen years and never learned to read or write?”
[…]
“I’m very sorry sir, I’m afraid it’s no good. I’m too old a dog to learn new tricks. I’ve lived a good
many years without knowin’ ’ow to read and write, and without wishin’ to praise myself, self-praise
is no recommendation, I don’t mind sayin’ I’ve done my duty in that state of life in which it ’as
pleased a merciful providence to place me, and if I could learn now I don’t know as I’d want to.”
“Yes sir, I quite understand. I shall be ’appy to ’and in my resignation as soon as you’ve found
somebody to take my place.”
[…]
… when a month after that he left St. Peter’s, Neville Square, for ever, Albert Edward Foreman set
up in business
Página 166
as a tobacconist and newsagent. […]. In the course of ten years he had acquired no less than ten
shops and he was making money hand over fist. He went round to all of them himself every
Monday, collected the week’s takings and took them to the bank.
One morning when he was there paying in a bundle of notes and a heavy bag of silver the cashier
told him that the manager would like to see him. He was shown into an office and the manager
shook hands with him.
“Mr. Foreman, I wanted to have a talk to you about the money you’ve got on deposit with us. D’you
know exactly how much it is?”
“Not within a pound or two, sir; but I’ve got a pretty rough idea.”
[…]
“And do you mean to say that you’ve built up this important business and amassed a fortune of
thirty thousand pounds without being able to read or write? Good God, man, what would you be
now if you had been able to?”
“I can tell you that sir,” said Mr. Foreman, a little smile on his still aristocratic features. “I’d be
verger of St. Peter’s, Neville Square.”
c) How long had Mr. Foreman worked at that church at the start of the story?
f) What fault did the new vicar find with Mr. Foreman?
GLOSSARY
cassock: batina
christening: batizado
gown: vestimenta
nag: importunar
verger: sacristão
Language variation
Notice that Foreman’s English is not what we call the “standard language.” He drops his “Hs”
like in hanging (’anging), him (’im), and hustle (’ustle); he drops the final “G” of verbs in the
gerund like in naggin’, doin’, knowin’. This is the kind of English attributed to the lower class; it
is the same kind of English that the dock men use, in what is called “cockney English.” Avery
good example of this kind of English can be found in the film My Fair Lady, based on Bernard
Shaw’s play Pygmalion. In this story, Professor Higgins teaches a street flower girl (Eliza
Doolittle) to speak like a lady. The songs in which most of this kind of English is present are
“Wouldn’t It Be Loverly?”, “With a Little Bit of Luck” and “Just You Wait.”
Literary authors show social class differences in their texts by attributing different dialects to
some characters.

• 3 flashlights of the same size and light intensity This is the procedure for your
experiment:
• Attach the red cellophane over the top of the first flashlight using the tape. Do the same with
the blue and green cellophane pieces on each flashlight.
• Place the flashlights on a table, about 4 inches apart and shine them onto a white wall.
• This part may take some patience. Arrange the flashlights so that the light from each
flashlight overlaps with the other flashlights. The easiest way to achieve this is to place the
center flashlight on a shoebox, so it’s slightly higher than the flashlights to the left and right of
it.
• When you finally have the colors overlapping, look closely at the wall. What do you see?

b)Do you have a piece of clothing that was irreversible stained while you were doing an art
project? Which material were you using?
DOI: 10.1021/ed076p1688A
Abstract
Use of dyes can be traced to earliest history. The coloring properties of materials such as
berries and bark were most likely discovered when clothing accidentally became stained with
them. Dyes made from natural sources such as plants, animals, and minerals tend to produce
colors that wash out easily. With most natural dyes, a mordant can be used to make the color
more permanent. In the mordanting process the fiber is treated with a solution of a metal salt
(usually an aluminum, chromium, copper, iron, or tin salt). Then the fiber is dyed. Metal ions
from the salt form strong bonds with the fiber and also with the dye, thereby holding the dye
to the fiber. […]

2. Today, if we want to paint, draw, or dye clothes, we can buy what we need in a store or
have the help of specialists. But how did cave people and Renaissance painters get the paint for
their pieces? Work in groups and ask your chemistry teacher to help you do some research in
order to find out:
• natural occurring pigments in minerals, plants, and animals, as well as the substance
involved;
• problems or consequences artists had with natural pigments. Present your findings to the
class.
• white cotton clothing, like a plain T-shirt or any other piece of plain cloth
• white vinegar
• water
• 2 beets, chopped
• rubber bands
• Use a solution of four parts water to one part white vinegar as a fixative for the fabric. Soak
the piece of clothing in the solution and leave it to rest for an hour.
This process will ensure that the natural dye will set in the fabric.
• Add 4 cups water and bring the dye to a simmer over medium heat.
• Pull and twist sections of the cotton material and then secure them tightly with rubber
bands.
• Place the cloth in the stockpot and let it simmer for an hour. Then, turn off the heat and let
the fabric sit in the dye until it comes to room temperature.
• Remove the fabric from the stockpot and squeeze it to release some of the dye. Carefully
remove the rubber bands and see what the fabric looks like. Naturally-dyed fabric will be
lighter once it’s dry, and should be laundered separately in cold water.

Hi, guys. My name’s Sandy and I’d like to share something cool we did in my school: it’s called
moss graffiti. Creating moss graffiti starts off with the right ingredients. You’re only going to
need four ingredients: 2 cups of buttermilk, 1 or 2 tablespoons of sugar, 2 cups of water, and of
course, moss, 2 clumps should be enough.
You’ll also need a blender, paintbrushes, plastics cups for the moss paint, some chalk, a spray
bottle, and maybe stencils with different forms.
Mix all the ingredients together in the blender for three to five minutes, or until the mixture is
smooth enough to paint.
That’s it! Fill your plastic cups with moss paint, grab a paintbrush and hit the streets. Actually,
it would be great if you get permission to make your moss graffiti in a brick or concrete wall in
your school, because you will need to mist it with water in a spray bottle daily until it grows.
Any porous wall protected from the sun. The lack of direct sun and humidity should be the
perfect environment for your moss to grow.
If you want a more professional design, I recommend tracing a layout first with chalk or using
stencils.

These varied attractive products are made from the local agricultural waste. They are
transformed into decorative items such as lamp shades, utensils, and modern fashion
accessories. The delicate products are created by a Rawai Small And Micro Community
Enterprise (or SMCE). Today the products are popular among tourists and shoppers. This leads
to supplementary income for families at up to thousands of baht per month. “We make use of
the coconuts and extend them from tourism. Visitors to Rawai appreciate the beach, and
fantastic views with coconut trees. So we asked ourselves why not do something with the
coconut produce to turn them into cash. We used to abandon coconut shells. Instead of wasting
them, we should make the best use of them, and the experiment has come out quite
successfully,” she said. The outstanding character of the products and management has led to
the group being designated as a “Learning Center” for interested parties. So it receives visitors
from across the country to observe the management and product development. This includes
the Muslim group from the deep southern provinces who pay special interest in transforming
the coconut shells into valuable products as they also have so much material in their local area.
