Welcome!
This material was written in order to ensure a dynamic learning process,
work as guidance and complementary tool to improve your language
learning.

Learning a new language is a challenge that involves learning how to


use words, rules and the use of the language in order to communicate
with speakers of the language.

Understanding the nature of the relationship between language and


culture is the key to the process of learning another language. It is
language in its cultural context that creates meaning. In language
learning classrooms, learners need to engage with the ways in which
context affects what is communicated and how.

Both the learner’s culture and the culture in which meaning is created
or communicated influence on the ways in which possible meanings
are understood.

Therefore, the aim of this book is to provide students a critical reflection


on their own culture and other people's culture through activities
and debates, which subjects relates to one’s culture and its beliefs,
knowledges, political and economic processes.

Throughout twelve units, the students will have the opportunity rise
their world knowledge individually and collectively. The book is divided
into twelve sections including several activities that will guide students
to the achievement of the necessary competences of levels A1 and A2,
according to the Common European Framework.
KNOWLEDGE
AND SKILLS

The Common European Framework of Reference: Learning, Teach-


ing, Assessment (CEF) is a system that could be used to compare
language levels for teaching and testing languages in Europe and
works as a guidance for all over the world. It aims to describe the
knowledge and skills students are required to master according
each level.

In the Basic Level, the students are capable of:

• Communicating and exchanging information in a simple way.

• Understanding and using very frequently used everyday expres-


sions as well as simple phrases to meet immediate needs.

• Introducing him/herself and others and can ask and answer


questions about personal details such as where he/she lives,
things he/she has and people he/she knows.

• Interacting in a simple way provided the other person talks


slowly and clearly and is prepared to cooperate.

s there such a thing as a "perfect" family?

You may belong to a stereotypical Brazilian family – your


parents are married and you have siblings and a pet. Your
father works outside and your mother is a housewife.
Nowadays, more and more women join the workforce,
divorce rates are higher and there is a growing number
of single-parent households. As a result, different family
structures are way more common.

If you are or have a single, divorced, widowed, or gay parent, your family connections are not so
unconventional anymore. If your family is more traditional, your children will certainly have some friends
who come from different family backgrounds and you can expect them to ask you questions like: "Why
do people get divorced?", "How come Anna's parents and don't live together?" and "Why does Bruno's
father live with another lady?"

Family structures and dynamics are more diversified now. It is our duty to respect each “new” type of
family in order to stop prejudice.

Do you agree with the text? Why?


Is there anything wrong about unconventional families?
Do you have a traditional family?
In your opinion, are family conflicts normal?

What is compulsive shopping?

Compulsive shopping is a disease. It is described as a chronic and


repetitive need to purchase which is difficult to stop and results in
harmful consequences.

There are many reasons that ease the increase of shopping addiction,
but there two very important one. They are:

1. The availability of credit which encourages people to buy now and


worry about financial responsibilities later.

2. The association made between the feeling of happiness / power


and accumulating things. Buying things relieve negative feelings
that cause distress and discomfort.

This disease may result in family and financial problems in one's


life. So, the first step to stop it is to determine if there is a problem.

How often do you shop online? What do you usually


shop online? Do you trust your bank information when
you buy online?

Nowadays, people buy online because it is more


convenient. With the click of a button, you can order
anything you want, and have it delivered to your front
door.

On one hand, online shopping can be less stressful than


going to a shopping mall. There are no crowds or long
queues. On the other hand, the customer has to learn
how to deal with expectations because that beautiful
dress or that nice t-shirt might look great in photos
online, but quite different in real life and if you live in the
outskirts of a small town, you may have to wait a little
longer for the post office delivery.

that it is a need to train longer hours to have better results ignoring the
harms that too much exercise can cause to the body. Such as: muscle
