PAST CONTINUOUS (AFFIRMATIVE FORM)


Você sabe que imprevistos acontecem, não é mesmo?
Nesta lição, você conhecerá Gabriel. Ele é advogado e trabalha em um escritório.
Esta semana, Gabriel finalizou a contratação da sua equipe de trabalho e, por isso, marcou uma
conference call para apresentá-la ao presidente (CEO) da empresa nos Estados Unidos.
Porém, imprevistos acontecem e o que Gabriel não contava é que teria de explicar isso, em
inglês, para o presidente.
Para ajudá-lo neste desafio, você verá nesta lição:
• Past Continuous – affirmative form (passado contínuo – forma afirmativa).
Gabriel
estava muito feliz por ter finalizado a contratação de sua equipe de trabalho. Então, ele convidou
o presidente da empresa para uma reunião, em que iria apresentá-lo aos novos colaboradores
De repente o telefone começa a tocar: São os seus funcionários avisando sobre alguns
imprevistos que os impediram de chegar a tempo
Então, Gabriel anota tudo o que sua equipe relatou, pois teria de justificar ao presidente o
cancelamento da reunião.
Mas há um detalhe: ele não sabe como dar essas explicações, usando frases, em inglês, no
passado.
E agora?
Prossiga e assista ao vídeo sobre Past Continuous para ajudar Gabriel.

Aprender novas línguas
é muito importante para seguir carreira em muitas áreas profissionais.
Nesta lição, você conhecerá o Tiago, que sabendo da importância da língua inglesa, arrumou
emprego em uma escola de idiomas.
Ele já tem algum conhecimento sobre a língua, mas quer aprender ainda mais!

Na primeira semanade trabalho, Tiago começou a se enturmar com alunos e funcionários da
escola e ficou empolgado em descobrir que todos estavam ansiosos para os preparativos da
festa de fim de ano da instituição.
Para se envolver com os preparativos, Tiago escolheu a tarefa de desenvolver plaquinhas
informativas para a festa.
Só que há um problema: Tiago ainda precisa conhecer alguns termos fundamentais em inglês
para conseguir confeccionar as placas.
Para ajudar Tiago na elaboração das plaquinhas, você verá nesta lição os pronomes indefinidos
derivados de “some”:
• Something (alguma coisa);
• Someone/ somebody (alguém).
Tiago precisará elaborar as plaquinhas, mas a orientação dos organizadores da festa era que

Ele é bem criativo e já sabe o que quer escrever, mas ainda não sabe como fazer isso em inglês.

CAN/ COULD
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
The first customer arrives and says: “I was here once and I saw a beautiful dress. Do you still
have it?”. How would you ask her about the dress?
( ) What was it like?

( ) What is it look like?
( ) What were it like?

72
Now Clara needs to show the collections she has in the shop. Help her to do it avoiding the
repetition of nouns.
What is your style? A classic or a casual ?

One customer doesn’t know the difference between the two collections, so Clara wants to
help them.
Do you want to know which collection this is? It’s the summer

( ) ones.

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

Só há uma solução para a situação de Cláudio: apressar os fornecedores para que a reforma seja
entregue.

apressar os fornecedores.

INTERMEDIATE TWO – UNIT 2

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?

Feel like (affirmative and negative forms)


We use the expression feel like to talk about the desire for something. Check the structure in
the affirmative and negative forms:
Affirmative form
Example:
I feel like reading a book.
I = subject
+
feel like
+
reading = verb in the gerund (ING)
Negative form
Example:
I don't feel like working this morning
I = subject
+
don't = auxiliary verb (NEG)
+
feel like
+
working = verb in the gerund (ING)

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.

Quiz: Feel like


Practice what you saw abou feel like and don’t/doesn’t feel like.
Match the columns and click Confirm.

Use feel like or don’t/doesn’t feel like.

I feel like drinking a lemonade. Do you want some?
Now it's your turn!
I basketball. (play)

Now you will make the negative sentence using feel like and the verb in parenthesis.

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.

beach? (negative/to go)
She some sights. (affirmative/to visit)
He fast food today. And so do I. (negative/to eat)

ANYBODY/ANYONE, ANYTHING, ANYWHERE


Na lição anterior, você teve a missão de recepcionar bem alguns empresários estrangeiros que
vieram ao Brasil para participar de um congresso.
Naquela missão, você deveria garantir que eles tivessem uma boa impressão a respeito do
congresso, do evento em si, e da empresa para qual você trabalha.
A melhor maneira de descobrir se você cumpriu bem o seu papel é perguntar aos convidados o
que eles acharam da sua recepção.
É hora de colocar em prática o inglês novamente, mas, agora, fazendo perguntas.
Agora vamos nos certificar de que você realizou um bom trabalho
Para isso, você verá nesta lição os pronomes indefinidos:
• anybody/anyone, anything, anywhere.

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?

Anybody/Anyone, Anything and Anywhere


The indefinite pronouns which start with the prefix ANY are used in negative and interrogative
sentences.
Negative:
Ana doesn't want to go anywhere because she feels so tired.
Interrogative:
Does anybody want to come to the coffee shop with me?

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).

Quiz: Anybody/Anyone, Anything, Anywhere


Use anyone/anybody, anything or anywhere.
Does know where I left my glasses?
( ) anything
( ) anybody
( ) anywhere
Can I get for you, sir?
( ) anything
( ) anybody
( ) anywhere
I'm sure they have money to go they want to.
( ) anything
( ) anybody
( ) anywhere
Now you have to use anywhere or somewhere according to the information in parentheses.
Mary can’t go . (negative)
John lives near downtown. (positive)
What is the correct indefinite pronoun to use in each sentence?
Did you call in Japan?
( ) anybody
( ) somebody
Practice the use of anybody/anyone, anything or anywhere.

Did you see my keys ? I can't find them.

Porém seus primos haviam perdido o hábito de falar em português e o tio, que era americano,
não poderia participar da conversa se Cássio não falasse em inglês.
Como será que Cássio vai se sair nessa conversa?
Os parentes de Cássio começaram a fazer várias perguntas, e ele compreendia quase tudo o que
os primos falavam em inglês.
