 SELETIVIDADE E TÓPICO FRASAL
• O que é Seletividade? Consiste na seleção e leitura/compreensão do(s)
parágrafo(s) nos quais se encontra a informação desejada.
• Como fazer tal seleção? Através do Tópico Frasal.
• E o que é o tópico frasal? Frase que contêm a ideia central do parágrafo,
contendo, portanto, a frase-chave da qual todas as outras são secundárias ou
periféricas.
• Como identifica-lo? Através da estrutura do parágrafo (introdução,
desenvolvimento e conclusão).
A estrutura do parágrafo dissertativo-argumentativo
Também denominada tópico frasal, é constituída de uma frase curta, que expressa,
de maneira sintética, a ideia principal do parágrafo, definindo seu objetivo.
Introdução

Corresponde a uma ampliação do tópico frasal, com apresentações de ideias secundárias

que o fundamentam ou esclarecem. Portanto, nunca traz o tópico frasal.
Desenvolvimento

Nem sempre presente, especialmente nos parágrafos mais curtos e simples, a

conclusão retoma a ideia central, podendo, dessa forma, também abrigar o tópico
frasal. A conclusão leva em consideração os diversos aspectos selecionados no
Conclusão

TEXTO 1: ALLERGIES
Recent research suggests that antibiotics may
cause allergies. Scientists at the University of
Michigan report that antibiotics destroy the
microflora of the intestines and this upsets the
immune system. “Our research indicates the
microflora are responsible for the immune
system’s ability to ignore allergens” says Professor
Gary Huffnagle. So we must limit the use of
antibiotics and eat a balanced diet, including
products such as yoghurt.

TEXTO 2: FRESH
AIR causes of allergies
Other and illness can be found in our
homes. Aerosols, new carpets, shower curtains, and plastic
toys are all potencially dangerous. Aerosols and air
fresheners can give children diarrhoea and earache, while
adults get headaches and depression. One solution is to use a
roll-on deodorant and avoid aerosols. And don’t use air
fresheners, open the windows!
New carpets are treated with anti-fungal chemicals that can
damage the immune system. They can cause skin irritation,
headaches and fatigue. Remember to air the house for about
72 hours after the installation.

TEXTO 3: THE MOBILE PHONE CONTROVERSY
CONTINUES
A recente British government study suggests parents shouldn’t give
their children mobile phones. “I don’t think we can put our hands on
our hearts and say mobile phones are safe”, says Sir William Stewart,
chairman of the gonvernment advisory group. The study found no
concret evidence to link the phones with health problems, but research
in Holland found connection between mobiles and ear tumours.
Mobile phones operators are sensitive to the problem but point out that
the phones provide security benefits. Meanwhile, Korea’s SK Telecom
is planning to release a “mobile health care phone”. The new phone can
measure your blood pressure, sugar levels and so on. The phone sends
the data to a health centre which checks your levels. The centre then
contacts you with suggested treatments.

TEXTO 4: CHOCOLATE IS GOOD FOR
YOU
Chocolate can save your life and it certainly doesn’t cause acne.
Reasearchers have identified flavonoids in chocolate that reduce
the risk of blood clots that could cause heart attacks. Dr. Harold
Schimtz of the University of California reports that only
chocolate offer these benefits. Vegetables and fruit also contain
flavonoids, but have diferente antioxidant activities. However,
the amount of flavonoids varies in chocolate because some
production methods destroy them. So we can eat chocolate
without worrying, but rememeber to check the quality.
