Com o passar dos anos, criamos vários grupos de amigos por onde passamos. Na escola, na
universidade e até mesmo no trabalho.
Você sabe o quanto é bom relembrar o passado e reencontrar pessoas que não se vê há tempos...
Há 15 anos, Ricardo fez intercâmbio em Atlanta, nos EUA. Este ano, sua turma de intercâmbio
resolveu fazer um encontro: passarão um final de semana em um sítio, com programações de
todos os tipos.
Empolgado, Ricardo teve a ideia de produzir um vídeo surpresa relembrando os melhores
momentos que viveram na juventude.
Mas de que forma Ricardo poderá falar sobre esses momentos?
Para ajudá-lo, você verá nesta lição:
• os verbos modais can (presente) e could (passado).
As lembranças sobre a época do intercâmbio estão deixando Ricardo bastante empolgado para
a montagem do vídeo
Porém, ao buscar informações sobre os amigos, Ricardo começa a se dar conta de que muito tempo
se passou e a vida de alguns amigos é hoje extremamente diferente, já de outros nem tanto.
Alguns estão casados e têm filhos
Talvez por isso, nem todos consigam participar de toda a programação do reencontro. Então,
nada mais legal do que passar esse vídeo para relembrar os momentos em que todos estiveram
juntos.
Outros moram em lugares muito distantes.
Assim, Ricardo começou a selecionar algumas fotos dos melhores momentos da turma e,
também, a procurar saber um pouco mais sobre a vida atual de alguns colegas.
Ele quer mostrar um pouco do que viveram no passado e fazer um paralelo com a realidade
atual, já que os tempos são outros e eles já não podem mais viver como naquela época.
Ricardo não pratica seu inglês desde aquela época e o vídeo tem que ser todo em inglês.
E agora?

ONE/ONES
Alguma vez você foi tão bem atendido em uma loja que até hoje fez questão de voltar?
Esse é o segredo do sucesso dos vendedores: atender bem os clientes para que voltem sempre.
Nesta lição, você acompanhará a história de Clara, uma vendedora habilidosa que trabalha na
loja mais famosa de uma cidade turística.
Como a forma como falamos com um cliente interfere muito na sua satisfação e a maioria dos
clientes de Clara são estrangeiros, para conseguir fidelizá-los, ela terá de melhorar o seu nível
de inglês.
Para isso, você verá nesta lição:
• Demonstrative pronouns – One/Ones
• What is/are ... like?
Customer loyalty
Clara é uma vendedora bastante dedicada e, por causa de seu bom atendimento, possui uma
carteira de clientes muito fidelizada.
Este é um motivo de orgulho para a gerente Demi.
Pensando nisso, a gerente teve uma ideia: irá usar a habilidade de Clara para atrair novamente
aquelas clientes que andam sumidas da loja.
Caso Clara consiga reverter essa situação, Demi irá promovê-la.
Clara’s challenge
A ideia dessa oferta surgiu porque Demi percebeu que algumas clientes estavam insatisfeitas
com a falta de consultoria que sempre foi um diferencial da loja. Diante deste problema, Demi
desafiou Clara a resgatá-las.
Mas, apesar de toda confiança depositada em Clara, Demi recomendou que a vendedora
estudasse um pouco mais de inglês. Seria importante que Clara demonstrasse fluência em
inglês, fazendo a substituição de palavras em vez de repeti-las na mesma frase, por exemplo.
Clara não entendeu exatamente o que a gerente pediu, mas seguiu a recomendação e foi aos
estudos.
71
Quiz: One/Ones
Check the sentence below and choose the demonstrative pronoun that can substitute the
word in bold.
I don’t like red apples. I prefer the green apples.
( ) One
( ) Ones
Don’t wear this green jacket. Wear the black jacket.
( ) One
( ) Ones
How would you answer the question “Which classes did you like in college?” using one or
ones?
The business were the best.
( ) one
( ) ones
Practice what you saw about one and ones.
This lemon juice is too sour. I like the sweet .
These are the pictures of China. Those are of Japan.
Quiz: Conclusion
It’s showtime!
Chegou o grande dia em que Clara atenderá às clientes.
Demi ainda revela à Clara que, se ela conseguir reverter o quadro dessas clientes, ela poderá ser
promovida!
Clara se sente um pouco nervosa, mas está disposta a alcançar sua meta e crescer profissionalmente.
Let’s help her!
Lembre-se: o exercício a seguir conta pontos para completar a missão. Capriche nas respostas

IT TAKES
É muito bom ter a oportunidade de reformar a casa, pois isso geralmente é sinônimo de
melhorias para o lar e para o dono
O problema é o que pode ocorrer durante a reforma!
Ter que lidar com bagunça, sujeira, imprevistos... tudo isso é muito chato.
Agora, você conhecerá Cláudio, um brasileiro que mora nos Estados Unidos e passa exatamente
por essa situação.
Para ajudá-lo a passar por este processo de reforma com mais facilidade, você verá nesta lição
como usar as seguintes expressões em inglês:
• It takes;
• How long.
73
Improving the house
Cláudio decidiu fazer uma reforma em sua casa, mas não tinha ideia de que demoraria tanto
tempo!
Já são meses convivendo com pedreiros, pintores; fora o cheiro de tinta e pó pela casa.
Ele não vê a hora de isso tudo acabar.
Especialmente porque ele já quer programar a festa de reinauguração da churrasqueira e da
piscina!
Só há uma solução para a situação de Cláudio: apressar os fornecedores para que a reforma seja
entregue.
Mas, Cláudio ainda não tem tanto domínio sobre o inglês para realizar esse tipo de conversa
e tem receio de não saber formular bem as frases e perguntas, acabando por não conseguir
apressar os fornecedores.
E agora?
Será que ele vai conseguir se expressar para falar sobre o tempo de duração da reforma?
Cláudio decidiu reunir todos os contatos dos fornecedores e tirou o dia para ir atrás desses
prazos.
Se ele conseguir essas informações, poderá calcular quanto tempo leva para cada uma das
entregas acontecer e poderá começar a programar sua festa.
Mas, antes, ele precisa saber fazer as perguntas corretamente e também compreender as
respostas de cada um.

FEEL LIKE
Business with Brazil
Todos os anos, o Brasil recebe milhares de empreendedores estrangeiros para participarem de
feiras, congressos e encontros internacionais.
Seja para conhecer uma nova tecnologia, aprender um novo conceito ou para apresentar uma
solução que irá revolucionar o mercado.
Para que toda a estrutura de eventos como estes dê certo, sabemos que a receptividade aos
empreendedores estrangeiros é um fator essencial.
Empresas envolvidas em eventos desse tipo não medem esforços para agradar seus convidados,
que são levados para visitar pontos turísticos e experimentar nossa culinária, além de outros
programas.
Dessa forma, uma pessoa de confiança precisa fazer esse papel de “guia de turismo”.
Um grupo de estrangeiros, de vários países, está chegando ao Brasil para participar de um
congresso organizado pela empresa que você trabalha, e o seu chefe escolheu você para recebê-
los da forma mais encantadora possível.
Você precisará se esforçar para se comunicar bem em inglês e interagir com todos, deixando
uma boa impressão da sua cordialidade e receptividade à moda brasileira.
83
Para isso, você verá nesta lição alguns conceitos que irão te ajudar nesta missão:
• Feel like;
• Indefinite pronouns – someone/ somebody, something, somewhere.
O seu grande desafio nesta missão será recepcionar os convidados e ainda entretê-los, levando-
os a jantares e passeios nas horas vagas do congresso.
Seu chefe deixou bem claro que isto é necessário, pois os negócios não andam muito bem e ele
acha importante impressioná-los em todos os aspectos.
O primeiro passo para iniciar esta missão é saber o que cada um deles sente vontade de fazer.
E agora, como fará para se comunicar com os estrangeiros compreender o que eles desejam?
84
Affirmative form:
The verb "feel" become feels
He feels like reading a book.
Negative form:
The auxiliary verb "do" become "doesn't"
She doesn't feel like working this morning.
85
Now, it’s your turn!Make an affirmative sentence using feel like and the verb in parenthesis
Example:
I a lemonade. Do you want some?(drink)
I feel like drinking a lemonade. Do you want some?
Now it's your turn!
I basketball. (play)
Make an affirmative sentence using feel like and the verb in parenthesis.
I to some music. (listen)
Now you will make the negative sentence using feel like and the verb in parenthesis.
Example:
I for the math test I'd rather watch TV. (study)
I don't feel like studying for the math test I'd rather watch TV
Now, it’s your time!
I at home. Let's eat out. (eat)
Make a negative sentence using feel like and the verb in parenthesis.
I to work. I'd like rather take the bus. (drive)
INDEFINITE PRONOUN
Bom saber perguntar o que cada convidado tem vontade de fazer já será um grande passo, não
é verdade?
Mas a maioria deles, além de não se conhecerem, também não conhecem o Brasil.
Dessa forma, é muito provável que eles se comuniquem tentando identificar coisas, lugares e
pessoas com frases como: “Quer comer alguma coisa mais tarde” ou “Estou procurando alguém
que vá às compras hoje”.
E agora?
Como se referir às coisas, às pessoas e aos lugares que não são conhecidos ou especificados?

turísticos, outro quer fazer compras, outro está cansado e quer ir direto para o hotel...
Será que você conseguirá interagir com todos eles? Não se esqueça de que precisará passar
uma boa impressão, pois os negócios não vão bem e a sua empresa depende do resultado dessa
recepção e do congresso para se reerguer.

90
Are you satisfied?
Agora é o momento de saber quais clientes foram fidelizados e quais você precisará se esforçar
mais.
Para conseguir essas informações, o seu chefe solicitou a você que conversasse com os
convidados para descobrir qual foi a percepção deles sobre o evento que organizaram.
A maneira mais eficiente de fazer esta investigação é aplicar uma pesquisa de satisfação. Afinal
de contas, de que teria válido todo empenho em impressioná-los?
Mas você sabe como fazê-la em inglês?
Uma certeza é a de que você terá de realizar uma série de perguntas.
Para fazer esta pesquisa de satisfação, você deverá checar a opinião dos empresários sob
diversas perspectivas, com perguntas como: “Houve algo que lhe surpreendeu?”, “Faltou visitar
algum lugar durante a sua estadia?”, “Você precisou da ajuda de alguém para se localizar no
evento?”.
E agora? Como você fará para perguntar e compreender as respostas em inglês?
We can use anybody/anyone, anything and anywhere in affirmative sentences in some special
cases.
When the affirmative sentence means “no matter what"
Example:
You can take anything you want at the supermarket.
It means that you can take any product of the supermarket, no matter what.
When the sentence is a conditional.
91
Example:
If you see anything strange, call me.
We usually use any after "if" even in affirmative sentences (but some may also be possible).
92
Quiz: Conclusion
Pronto!
Agora chegou a hora de entrar em contato com os clientes para realizar a pesquisa de satisfação.
Será que você conseguirá fazer as perguntas corretamente e concluir a pesquisa com sucesso?

Obras de arte
são peças raras, feitas por pessoas que expressam seus sentimentos e suas emoções por meio
de pinturas, gravuras, esculturas e muitas outras formas.
Se nos tempos atuais achar essas peças está cada vez mais difícil, imagine achar as pessoas que
as fazem.
Nesta lição, o seu desafio será ajudar Roberto, um artista plástico, a encontrar pessoas com esse
talento.
Para isso, você verá:
• Reflexive pronouns.
Roberto, é um artista plástico brasileiro que está morando nos Estados Unidos há pouco tempo
e quer reunir alguns artistas para fazer uma exposição e, assim, aumentar o seu networking1.
Ele já visitou algumas galerias de arte, mas só encontrou pessoas vendendo produtos de terceiros.
Para sua exposição, ele quer selecionar artistas que tenham trabalhos 100% feitos por eles
mesmos.
Dessa forma, Roberto precisa realizar uma busca intensa por esses artistas, mas ele não sabe
como expressar o que precisa – por exemplo, deixar claro que está à procura de pessoas que
trabalhem sozinhas, que façam suas próprias peças etc.

Working on a multinational
O sonho de muitos brasileiros é trabalhar em empresas multinacionais que, por sua vez, estão
sempre à procura de profissionais que se destaquem em relação aos demais.
Além de oferecer excelentes benefícios, as multinacionais proporcionam muita visibilidade ao
profissional.
Mas, para chegar lá, os candidatos precisam passar por processos seletivos cada vez mais
exigentes realizados pelos setores de Recursos Humanos dessas empresas.
Nesta lição, você conhecerá a Marina. Ela é uma brasileira que trabalha, justamente, no setor

Ela está acostumada com este tipo de tarefa, mas é a primeira vez que terá de redigir os
relatórios em outra língua. Então ela começou a levantar tudo o que precisaria saber em inglês
para conseguir fazer um bom trabalho.
Depois de muito refletir sobre quais seriam os dados mais relevantes para o relatório, Marina
percebeu que não podiam faltar informações como: onde cada candidato havia trabalhado
recentemente, quais os cargos que cada um havia ocupado ultimamente e desde quando
estavam sem trabalhar.
Agora, Marina precisa saber como escrever essas informações, que são os time markers, em inglês.
