1. INTRODUÇÃO
Fala, pessoal! Tudo bem com vocês? Bem-vindos à nossa primeira aula de inglês 100%
focada para o concurso da EPCAR. Nela, vamos aprender sobre artigos e pronomes
pessoais, os assuntos básicos para quaisquer alunos que estão começando a estudar a
língua inglesa.
Esta aula, apesar de simples, é muito importante para acertar tanto as questões de
gramática quanto para as questões de interpretação de texto da prova! Então, muita
atenção!!
2. ARTIGOS (ARTICLES)
Antes de mais nada, saibam que os artigos fazem referência a “coisas”, seres, pessoas e
lugares de maneira genérica ou específica. Dividem-se, assim como no português, em
artigos definidos ou indefinidos.
Exemplos:
• A é usando antes de som de consoantes ou dos sons /uã/ (ex.: one) e /iú/ (ex.:
university, european); DICA: /wã/ e /yú/ (w e y são consoantes!)

do verbo. São eles:

Gabarito
Pessoal, agora que já aprendermos a base conceitua sobre pronomes, preciso mostrar
para vocês como ela será cobrada na prova.
Não esperem encontrar questões simples nas quais vocês deverão preencher lacunas
com os pronomes adequados. A EPCAR gosta de cobrar esses assuntos perguntando à
quais termos os pronomes se referem no texto. As questões serão mais ou menos assim:
“If you want to become a fighter pilot, you have to go to EPCAR”, said Rodrigo Gomes,
former EPCAR student and current math teacher at Direto ao Ponto.
During classes, he loves to tell funny stories about his time as an EPCAR student. Santos,
one of his best friends, also loves to tell funny stories about their good times at EPCAR.
a) Gomes
b) Santos
c) EPCAR
Professor Uéliton Santos
d) fighter pilot
Para resolver essa questão vejam ali o pronome HE (ele). A que termo ele se refere? Ao
Gomes, né? O pronome HE está sendo usado para evitar a repetição do termo GOMES
toda hora.
Galera, basicamente é isso! Parece difícil, mas não é. O segredo é substituir o pronome
pelo termo e ver se a frase faz sentido! Se fizer, é porque o pronome está se referindo
àquele termo!
Agora pratiquem o que acabamos de aprender nas questões da EPCAR que eu separei
abaixo. Depois, treinem bastante nas questões de concursos que eu coloquei em seguida.
Se vocês mandarem bem nelas, vão arrebentar na prova!

The time to embrace change in education is right now! In fact, it’s long overdue. Did you
know that the model for modern-day public education was created by the need for on-
time mechanical workers during the industrial revolution? That was certainly a
technological disruption, but it happened 250 years ago. It’s what we call the front-lead
method, and it’s not the best model for addressing the learning needs of many students:
divergent thinkers, neurodiverse minds, creatives, scientists, and the list goes on. Which
brings us to our next point: it’s time for the next wave of disruption. Luckily for us, it’s here.
And it’s been here since 1989, when Tim Berners-Lee — a British scientist from CERT —
invented the World Wide Web. We know, you use the internet every day, and it’s great,
but maybe you’re skeptical that it can revolutionize education. Well, if you didn’t know, it
already is. A large body of evidence-based, peer reviewed work points to the web as one
of the central hubs for positive educational change today. It’s our connection to others,
our access to a world of educational resources, it’s a format that works for many learners,
it’s at the heart of countless services (that don’t work in an unconnected world), and it’s
driving access to education.
a) Tim Berners-Lee
b) a British scientist
c) internet
d) education
e) CERT
