APRESENTAÇÃO GERAL
Você dará início ao módulo de Inglês
Técnico do Instituto Monte Horebe na
modalidade auto-instrucional a distância.
Você deve estar se perguntando o que
é Educação a Distância?
A Educação a Distância se destina as
pessoas que não podem manter freqüência
regular em horários pré-definidos por uma
instituição educacional.
O desenvolvimento da Educação a
Distância com foco na aprendizagem implica
na superação do modelo tradicional centrado
na transmissão de informações. Busca levar o
aluno a aprender, a refletir e questionar, a
buscar soluções e inovar, a reconstruir
conceitos e aplicá-los na sua vida pessoal e
profissional.
A modalidade a distância procura
respeitar o seu ritmo de aprendizagem e
permitir que você estabeleça seu próprio
método de estudo. A duração sugerida para o
módulo é de quatro semanas. Recomendamos
reservar duas horas por dia para seu estudo.
Nós iremos orientá-lo por meio de
tutores. A tutoria é uma das características da
educação a distância, por meio dela o trabalho
de cada aluno é acompanhado e orientado.
O tutor atua como mediador entre o
curso e o cursista, com o objetivo de
incrementar a compreensão dos materiais de
estudo e, em conseqüência seu rendimento no
contexto do sistema de educação a distância.
O contato com os tutores poderá ser
estabelecido pelas seguintes vias:
correspondência, Internet, fax, e-mail,
agendamento.
Você receberá, no manual do aluno, a
listagem com as informações para contato
com os tutores.
4
Sugerimos a elaboração prévia de suas
perguntas para que se torne claro o objetivo
de sua consulta. Isto irá favorecer um
atendimento com maior presteza.
Desenvolva, pois, seu próprio método
e observe as dicas apresentadas mais adiante
que poderão ajudá-lo a alcançar bons
resultados nos estudos. Saiba que este curso
foi desenvolvido reconhecendo você como a
parte mais importante de todo o processo.
A avaliação deste Módulo acontecerá
por meio de: contatos com a tutoria;
exercícios de fixação da apostila e avaliação
escrita versando sobre os temas em estudo
(avaliação presencial, conforme Legislação de
Ensino).
Além dos textos básicos de leitura,
você encontrará textos recomendados que
visam oferecer ampla visão do conteúdo a ser
estudado.
Poderá também ser disponibilizado
pela escola recursos didáticos em nossa
página na Internet: http://www.montehorebe.com.br.
Não hesite em contactar-se com a
tutoria para os esclarecimentos necessários ou
para socializar suas descobertas, seja por meio
do sítio apresentado ou pessoalmente.
Troque mensagens por e-mail com os
colegas de curso, se possível. Ao concluir o
seu estudo envie por correio eletrônico, fax ou
leve pessoalmente para o seu tutor. Verifique
o dia de atendimento conforme descrito no
manual do aluno.
Além desta apostila, você recebeu
também o Manual do Aluno, onde você pode
encontrar informações adicionais para auxiliá-
lo.

ALGUMAS DICAS DE ESTUDO
Para que seus estudos tenham bons
resultados, procure observar as seguintes
dicas:
• Reserve um lugar agradável para estudar;
• Escolha um período certo, com freqüência
definida para que consiga sistematizar a
atividade;
• Se possível, escolha o horário do dia em
que você mais rende;
• Leia os textos com atenção, assinalando
todas as coisas que achar relevante. Este
“macete” auxilia consultas futuras ao material
e, para algumas pessoas ajuda na
consolidação de conceitos;
• Não fique restrito ao material do curso,
pois o material não esgota o assunto. O
mundo do conhecimento é vastíssimo e está ai
para ser desvendado. Pesquise em livros,
dicionários, ou procure pessoas que dominem
6
o tema, pois o aprofundamento depende de
você;
• Se outros colegas também estão fazendo
este mesmo treinamento na medida do
possível, procurem se reunir para discutir e
tirarem dúvidas;
• Faça os exercícios somente depois de
sentir-se seguro em relação aos conteúdos
estudados;
• Procure responder as questões sem
consultar;
• Confirme as respostas e, de acordo com o
índice de acertos, você decide se prossegue ou
empreende um reforço. Procure identificar os
temas a serem novamente estudados a partir
das questões não acertadas;
• Avance somente á medida em que se sentir
seguro em relação aos conteúdos estudados.

CONNECTING INDEPENDENT
CLAUSES
• An independent clause is a sentence [subject
(S) + verb (V)] that has meaning when it
stands by itself:
I need help.
S V
She likes soccer.
S V
Independent clauses can be combined
with "connectors" or conjunctions
which show the relationship between
the first and second clause.
The first clause in all the
examples below is the same; however,
the second clauses are different.
• AND signals an addition of equal
importance:
John is sick, and he is not going to school
today.
• BUT (YET) signals a contrast:
John is sick, but he is going to school today.
• OR signals choice:
John is sick or he is pretending.
• SO signals a result:
John is sick, so he is not going to school
12
today.
• FOR signals a reason:
John is sick, for he got a cold in the rain.
Use a comma between the first
independent clause and the second.
PAlRED CONJUNCTIONS
• When two subjects are connected, the
subject closer to the verb determines whether
the verb is singular or plural.
not only + noun + but also + noun:
Not only my brother but also my
sister is in Europe.
either + noun + or + noun:
Either my brother or my sister will
be in Europe.
neither + noun + nor + noun:
Neither my brother nor my sister is
in Europe.
Neither my brothers nor my sisters are in
Europe.
• When two subjects are connected by both,
they take a plural verb:
both + noun + and + noun:
Both my brother and my sister are in Europe
