O Ingls Instrumental
Read, read, read.
William Faulkner
Como aprender ingls? Esta pergunta j vem sendo feita por muitos antes de voc, como ilustram as diversas
abordagens desenvolvidas ao longo dos anos. No Sculo XX, dependendo do interesse e objetivos do ensino, eram
oferecidas estratgias muito diferentes. At os anos 40, com o interesse na divulgao da cultura e na crena de um
modelo a ser imitado, o aluno tinha que aprender gramtica e traduzir textos de autores clssicos, como Shakespeare.
Depois da 2a. Guerra Mundial, com a necessidade de os soldados americanos aprenderem a falar rapidamente lnguas
estrangeiras, desenvolveu-se o mtodo udio-lingual, em que o aluno repetia oralmente at decorar certas estruturas.
Com a mudana nos conceitos de educao e uma viso mais pluralista de cultura, chegou-se abordagem comunicativa,
buscando-se recriar contextos de situao real. Essa variedade de metodologias se reflete na diversidade de cursos
oferecidos, cada um com objetivos e focos diferentes. Da a importncia de se saber o que cada um prioriza e qual seu
mtodo. Na verdade, dominar uma lngua estrangeira implica a capacidade de falar, ouvir, ler e escrever. Isso no se
consegue de um dia para outro. Leva muitos anos. Como, ento, fazer com que o vestibulando, em um s ano, se torne
capacitado a ler textos acadmicos em ingls e assim possa ampliar seu conhecimento?
Este interesse ficou muito claro no final dos anos 70, quando foi concebido o que se chamou de Ingls para Fins
Especficos (ESP). O objetivo era fornecer aos alunos em suas diferentes reas de atuao habilidade de leitura de
textos tcnicos. Mdicos leriam textos mdicos; pilotos de aviao aprenderiam linguagem especfica para sua profisso.
O foco da abordagem passou a ser capacitar o aluno o mais rapidamente possvel para a leitura, a interpretao, a
compreenso de textos e no para a gramtica como um fim em si, ou a traduo do texto, nem mesmo para a
conversao. Nada de comear com o verbo TO BE em suas vrias formas. O foco passou a ser o de trabalhar a relao
entre tcnicas de leitura e os diferentes nveis de compreenso de texto.
Com o passar dos anos e a experincia adquirida pelos professores e pesquisadores, o Ingls para Fins Especficos
foi se transformando em um ingls mais geral, que se chamou Ingls Instrumental, voltado somente para a leitura
e interpretao de textos. justamente essa abordagem que voc encontrar aqui. Claro que estruturas gramaticais e
outros aspectos da linguagem sero trabalhados, mas sero oferecidos a partir de textos que poderiam ter sido utilizados
em provas de vestibular. Buscamos aqui, tambm, estudar as palavras de uso mais frequente na lngua inglesa. Alm disso,
vocs iro perceber que aprender a ler um idioma estrangeiro requer estratgias que vocs j conhecem e j usam quando
lem textos em lngua portuguesa. Por exemplo, para entender algo, vocs buscam relacionar o novo com o que j sabem.
Geralmente no decoram. Procuram ver onde e como aplicar o que aprenderam. A abordagem aqui utilizada visa, portanto,
oferecer estratgias e recursos que possibilitem o desenvolvimento da habilidade de leitura na lngua inglesa. importante
se ressaltar que aqui se entende que o aluno est socialmente integrado em um determinado contexto e que o conhecimento
de mundo que ele j tem o auxilia a adquirir a habilidade de ler em uma lngua estrangeira.
Caso j tenha tentado aprender a lngua inglesa, esquea as dificuldades anteriores e ingresse com entusiasmo
e convico nessa nova experincia que facilitar sua admisso aos cursos de graduao e ajudar o seu crescimento
acadmico, influenciando sua atuao como profissional.
Estamos juntos nesse caminho. Buscamos prepar-lo(a) para que o processo seja prazeroso. Aproveitamos para
lembr-lo(a) de que quanto mais voc ler, mais aprender. Bom curso!
Caro Aluno,
O material que voc est recebendo, foi pensado dentro das possibilidades e da lgica do projeto do Pr-
-Vestibular Social para o ensino a distncia de lnguas estrangeiras. Ele foi elaborado pelas Coordenaes de Ingls

em lngua estrangeira. Apesar de desenvolvido para utilizao distncia imprescindvel que voc utilize o atendi-
mento telefnico 0800 para tirar suas dvidas e interagir com tutores colocados sua disposio para tal. Alm da
tutoria a distncia, semanalmente estaro disponveis na pgina eletrnica do PVS vdeos e textos complementares
e simulados online para ajud-lo a se preparar para o ENEM e outros vestibulares.
Aproveite este material da maneira adequada e ter mais chances de alcanar seus objetivos.

you know well already. These kinds of texts can also lead onto interesting
classroom discussion, and make it easier for you to understand radio news on

behavior. Unfortunately, much of todays television programming is violent.

Hundreds of studies of the effects of TV violence on children and teenagers have
found that children may:
become immune or numb to the horror of violence;
gradually accept violence as a way to solve problems;
imitate the violence they observe on television; and
identify with certain characters, victims and/or victimizers .

Fairies
A couple had been married for 25 years and also celebrated their 60th
birthdays. During the celebration a fairy appeared and said that because they had
been such a loving couple all those years, she would give them one wish each.
The wife wanted to travel around the world. The fairy waved her wand and boom!
She had the tickets in her hand. Next, it was the husbands turn. He paused for
a moment, then said shyly, Well, Id like to have a woman 30 years younger
than me.
The fairy picked up her wand and boom! He was 90.

Ancient Olympic Games
The Olympic Games began at
Olympia in Greece in 776 BC. The Greek
calendar was based on the Olympiad,
the four-year period between games.
The games were staged in the wooded
valley of Olympia in Elis. Here the
Greeks erected statues and built
temples in a grove dedicated to Zeus,
supreme among the gods. The greatest
shrine was an ivory and gold statue of
Zeus. Created by the sculptor Phidias,
it was considered one of the Seven
Wonders of the World. Foto: Felipe Menegaz. Disponvel em http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/36/

Rio 2016 Olympics logo: a closer look

Climate change is one of the most pressing issues nowadays.
See how to contribute by looking at the picture below. The Rio logo comes in the wake of London 2012 and so comparisons are
inevitable. At a recent talk I asked the audience if they had disliked the London
logo when it first appeared: the majority stuck their hands up. Then I asked them
if they had changed their minds since: just a few hands remained aloft. London
tore up the Great Sporting Event Logo Handbook. It almost willfully disregards the
accepted way of these things: no overt geographical reference to the home city, no
welcoming, joyful attitude, no rounded, friendly organic shapes. It almost dares
us to like it. And for many it remains an unmitigated design disaster.
Rio, on the other hand, seems to have gone too far in the other direction.

By Susan King
The legend of Robin Hood is firmly entrenched in British folklore an archer
and swordsman who, with his band of merry men, robbed from the rich and gave
to the poor during the early 12th century in Nottinghamshires Sherwood Forest.
Originally portrayed as a commoner, Robins image changed so that he was later
thought of as a nobleman who lost his lands and was cast out as an outlaw.
The earliest surviving ballads telling his story are dated to the 15th century or
early 16th century. And, of course, Robin Hood has long been a cinematic favorite,
dating back to 1909s silent Robin Hood and His Merry Men. With Russell Crowe
playing the hero in Ridley Scotts new version of the adventure, Robin Hood,

Texto 1:
What to wear on a first date
Deciding what to wear on a first date is always difficult but very important.
Everyone makes instant judgments, even if its done subconsciously, we all do it
and what you are wearing will have massive impact on any judgment your date

the rest will hopefully follow.
What to wear on a first date Having style

Having style is simply wearing the clothes that suit you and make you feel
comfortable. All you need to do is learn how to dress for success and get your style
right. Style is not about wearing designer labels, having that must-have accessory
that all the celebrities have or following the latest trends. All you need to have

Prefixo Raiz Sufixo Classe Threats loom over the worlds forest, but theres some good news, too.
Around the globe, illegal logging has dropped -- in some cases dramatically.
Compared to 2002 levels, the practice is down 75 percent in Indonesia, 50 percent
in Cameroon, and more than 50 percent in the Brazilian Amazon, found a new
study.
On a recent expedition to the remote western Amazon in Brazil, Michigan
State University geographer Bob Walker saw some surprisingly positive signs of
the trend.
I dont want to come across as saying everything is fi ne and we dont have
to worry anymore about the Amazon, Walker said. But yeah, we saw a number

Curiosity: a path toward knowledge? Revelation
Reason
Foto: Joanna Kopik. Disponvel em: http://www.sxc.hu/photo/82516
Foto: Aleksandar Milosevic. Disponvel em: http://www.sxc.hu/photo/347053 Curiositys virtue is its greed. It wonders, often indiscriminately, about every-
thing it focuses on. Curiosity carries you, limited by time and space, beyond the
Experiment immediate. It knows no boundaries, and it pushes you to learn about everything
thats still unknown or unfamiliar to you. It can as easily direct itself to the ancient
Egyptians as to the wriggling pond-life under your microscope. But thats also its
vice, for its usually directed to very particular interests say, to ballet or to bugs.
You therefore have to make strenuous efforts to extend its range, so that your
wonder about ballet becomes knowledge about dance, or so that your fascination
with bugs turns into a lifelong love affair with the entire natural world.
When you were a child, your eagerness to learn defined your behavior. You
were full of wonder about everything touching, holding, maybe wrecking any-
thing that came into your reach. And as soon as you could talk you were full of
questions: why is the sky blue? why is up up? why cant tomorrow be yesterday?
You found everything curiouser and curiouser, as Alice found it in Wonderland.
Adults tried to answer your endless questions (even if you sometimes drove them
crazy with them), for they knew that by rewarding your natural inquisitiveness
Foto: Daino_16. Disponvel em: http://www.sxc.hu/photo/436905 and by satisfying your excitement to know, theyd help you to learn and, equally
important, to acquire a taste for learning throughout your life.
Tradition Yet you must keep this in mind about knowledge: it isnt the same thing as
information. Knowledge is information that has been given organization, mean-
ing, and use. Facts exist by themselves. Knowledge is a human creation.
Hydrogen and chlorine are elements of nature. Thats a fact. Your under-
standing that, when combined, these two elements create new substances, such
as hydrochloric acid, which has certain characteristics that hydrogen and chlorine
independently dont have, constitutes knowledge.
Knowledge differs from information as music differs from sound. An orchestra
warming up doesnt make music; it makes only noise. It makes music when the
conductor takes over and each performer follows the score in cooperation with one
another. Music is sound given form and significance. Similarly, knowledge is informa-
tion given structure and meaning. The facts in your head become knowledge when
you put them together so that theyre related to one another and, put together, take
on meaning that is large than the mere facts alone. Nothing has meaning by itself.
