<p>Alvaro: /* Conversation */</p> <hr /> <div>==Conversation==<br /> <br /> Answer the following questions. You might be asked to write them down or answer them out-loud.<br /> <br /> # Do you read blogs often? Which ones?<br /> # Do you think blogs are trustworthy? Why? Why not?<br /> # What gets your attention when you pick something to read on the Internet?<br /> # How do you know that the information you're reading is fake or unreliable?<br /> # What is your favorite internet app?<br /> # Some people love to read gossip about famous people. Do you read this type of article?<br /> # What's your favorite news source on the Internet?<br /> # Have you ever clicked on a link to find out it wasn't what you were expecting?<br /> # What do you think about advertisements on the Internet? Are they cool? Invasive? Funny? Boring?<br /> # If you had a blog, what would it be about?<br /> <br /> ==Vocabulary==<br /> <br /> Look at the vocabulary below. Take time to explore the links for their definitions in English and their translations to Portuguese. When you are done, make a sentence with each word. Ask your teacher if you should write them down or say them out loud.<br /> <br /> {{Definition|cruise}}<br /> {{Definition|source}}<br /> {{Definition|intriguing}}<br /> {{Definition|gossip}}<br /> {{Definition|conjecture}}<br /> {{Definition|sort}}<br /> {{Definition|hierarchy}}<br /> {{Definition|chain}}<br /> {{Definition|readership}}<br /> {{Definition|threshold}}<br /> {{Definition|publish}}<br /> {{Definition|stature}}<br /> {{Definition|pound}}<br /> {{Definition|pavement}}<br /> {{Definition|hijack}}<br /> {{Definition|fake}}<br /> {{Definition|accurate}}<br /> <br /> ==Video==<br /> <br /> Watch the following video but DON'T read the transcript yet.<br /> <br /> {{youtube|YoZNJsp3Kik}}<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> After watching the video do this [[{{FULLPAGENAME}}/ExerciseL1 | listening exercise]].<br /> &lt;div&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> ==Reading practice==<br /> <br /> Read the following transcript then do the associated [[{{FULLPAGENAME}}/ExerciseRC1 | reading comprehension exercise]].<br /> <br /> &lt;div class=&quot;toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed&quot; style=&quot;width:95%&quot;&gt;Transcript:&lt;div class=&quot;mw-collapsible-content&quot;&gt;<br /> So you're cruising around the Internet and you see a link to an article from some trusted news source, and it's got a really intruiguing title, so you read it. And later you find out that that whole article was mostly false. What you thought was news, was really just gossip or conjecture.&lt;br/&gt;<br /> So we've got Ryan Holiday here. He's a media manipulator and he explains how this happens:<br /> &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;<br /> &lt;strong&gt;Ryan&lt;/strong&gt;: So what I quickly discovered was that the media was this sort of hierarchy or chain. The bottom you have small blogs who have small readerships but correspondingly low threshold for what they will and will not publish.<br /> <br /> &lt;br/&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ryan&lt;/strong&gt;: Say this blog publishes a rumor then Business Insider or The Huffington Post or Perez Hilton writes about it. And now, because of the stature of those sites, it becomes something that people are talking about on Twitter, on Facebook, on e-mail, they're chattering about it. And what happens is, producers for CNN, producers for a right wing talk radio, journalists for The New York Times - where do they find out the news? They're not out pounding the pavement like it's a hundred years ago. No, they're reading what people are chattering about online. And that cycle is hijacked by people like me who say, &quot;Okay, if this blog here has the power to accidentally start a media firestorm by what it publishes, I'm going to get them to publish something that benefits me.&quot;<br /> <br /> &lt;br/&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ryan&lt;/strong&gt;: I, I've sent them fake anonymous emails and watched as that turned into front page stories. The public isn’t aware that this is how their news is being made, but on both sides of the divide – on the marketing side and on the news side – neither is particularly concerned with quality. They're concerned with what will get attention. <br /> <br /> And that's because of how blog sites and news sites make money. First, they get a lot of viewers to their pages. And then they sell that view count to advertisers. So to get more views you do stuff like…<br /> <br /> &lt;br/&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ryan&lt;/strong&gt;: Asking rhetorical untrue questions in a headline, doing your fact checking after you've published an article, gossiping, speculating, making up a story from whole cloth. <br /> <br /> But what if I want good, accurate news. I mean, shouldn’t news sites want to give that to me ?<br /> <br /> &lt;br/&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ryan&lt;/strong&gt;: Yeah, look, uh, I think the rule of thumb is if you're not paying for it they don’t give a shit about you. They're loyal to their advertisers. <br /> <br /> If you're not paying for it, you're not the customer, you are the product.<br /> <br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Writing practice==<br /> <br /> Write a short article pretending you're a journalist and need to impress the expectators from a website. Remember to use catchy words and an extremely grasping title. Make sure to use words you learned from the text and try to make it as long as you can. <br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> {{#widget:DISQUS<br /> |id=jointhegrove<br /> |uniqid={{PAGENAME}}<br /> |url={{fullurl:{{PAGENAME}}}}<br /> }}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Core]]</div>

<p>Alvaro: /* Grammar */</p> <hr /> <div>{{#css:olexercises.css}}<br /> <br /> ==Grammar==<br /> <br /> Agora que já sabemos utilizar o Present Continuous, podemos facilmente aprender o Past Continuous.<br /> <br /> A forma é a seguinte: [was/were + present continuous]<br /> <br /> Ou seja, conjugamos o verbo '''to be''' no passado:<br /> <br /> {| class=&quot;prettytable&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot; <br /> !colspan=&quot;2&quot;|to be<br /> |-<br /> | I || was<br /> |-<br /> | You || were<br /> |-<br /> | He || was<br /> |-<br /> | She || was<br /> |-<br /> | It || was<br /> |-<br /> | We || were<br /> |-<br /> | You || were<br /> |-<br /> | They || were<br /> |}<br /> <br /> E ao próximo verbo, adicionamos -ING.<br /> <br /> Veja alguns exemplos:<br /> <br /> {{Example|<br /> *They '''were''' exercis'''ing''' when she arrived.<br /> **Eles estavam se exercitando quando ela chegou.<br /> *'''Were''' they exercis'''ing''' when she arrived?<br /> **Eles estavam se exercitando quando ela chegou?<br /> *They '''were''' not exercis'''ing''' when she arrived.<br /> **Eles não estavam se exercitando quando ela chegou.<br /> }}<br /> <br /> Usamos o Past Continuous das seguintes formas:<br /> <br /> ===1.

I was standing on the corner, waiting for the green light. The other light changed from green to yellow. Then I saw a sports car. The man driving it was very fast. He wanted to get through the yellow light but when he got closer it turned red. On the other street, a tow truck started to move forward. The driver of the sports car tried to stop but it was too late. He smashed into the side of the tow truck. The man in the sports car got out of his car very slowly. He had a cut on his head and he was stumbling around. The man in the tow truck was not hurt. He called an ambulance with his cellphone. By then a crowd was gathering.

<p>Alvaro: /* 3. Rewrite the sentences using the conjunctions given. You might need to add some extra words in the sentence. See the example: */</p> <hr /> <div>{{#css:olexercises.css}}<br /> <br /> ==Grammar==<br /> <br /> Hoje vamos aprender sobre '''conjunctions'''. Conjunctions são palavras que ligam duas ou mais palavras, frases ou cláusulas. Como o nosso objetivo é aprender a falar inglês com fluência - e não exatamente dar definições gramaticais rigorosas - vamos deixar de lado toda a discussão sobre como classificar conjunções, apenas ver alguns exemplos e aprender a usá-las na prática.<br /> <br /> As conjunções que veremos hoje são: '''and''', '''but''', '''or''', '''so''' e '''because'''.<br /> <br /> Estas palavras são tão úteis que dá vontade de colocar logo todas elas aqui. Mas, aprendendo estas cinco, já melhoramos muito a nossa capacidade de comunicação.<br /> <br /> Vejamos alguns exemplos:<br /> <br /> &lt;div class=&quot;well well-ex&quot;&gt;<br /> *Larry finished eating dinner and started studying for the exam. <br /> **Larry terminou de jantar e começou a estudar para a prova.<br /> *She had a lot of free time but she did not study very much.<br /> **Ela tinha bastante tempo livre mas não estudou muito.<br /> *You can stay here with me or go to the mall with your father.<br /> **Você pode ficar aqui comigo ou ir para o shopping com o seu pai.<br /> *We didn't have time to have breakfast so we decided to stop at a restaurant on the way.<br /> **Nós não tivemos tempo de tomar café da manhã então decidimos parar em um restaurante no caminho.<br /> *I worked until late because I was very excited about the project.<br /> **Trabalhei até tarde porque estava muito empolgado(a) com o projeto.<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> ===Exercises===<br /> <br /> ====1.

(with each other = um com o outro)<br /> #They don't know if they will order sandwiches _______ a pizza.<br /> #I am English, _______ I live in the US _______ I work for an American company.<br /> #I love painting _______ fishing _______ they teach me concentration.<br /> #Jane hates swimming _______ she spends her summer holidays on the beach _______ she loves sunbathing.<br /> #It is always rainy in the winter, _______ you should always take an umbrella with you.<br /> #I don't know if I will stay home _______ go to that party with my friends.<br /> #Fast food restaurants are delicious _______ usually unhealthy, _______ people should avoid them.<br /> #Peter is obese, _______ the doctor advised him to practice sports regularly.<br /> #Parents _______ their children should have a good relationship.<br /> <br /> ==Pronunciation==<br /> <br /> {{youtube|m2S3Oar2dVU}}<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> {| class=&quot;prettytable&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot; <br /> !colspan=&quot;2&quot;|Examples<br /> |-<br /> | a || the <br /> |-<br /> | of || that <br /> |-<br /> | about || common <br /> |-<br /> | standard || butter <br /> |-<br /> | better || clever<br /> |}<br /> <br /> ==Vocabulary==<br /> <br /> * to record <br /> * to shoot<br /> * to take - took<br /> * to see - saw<br /> * Picture<br /> * Painting<br /> * Harmony<br /> * Landscape<br /> * Birds<br /> * Sight<br /> * Light<br /> * Dark<br /> * Fashion Show<br /> * Looks<br /> * Model<br /> * Studio<br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;well&quot; style=&quot;width: 40%;&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;span class=&quot;label label-warning&quot;&gt;Important Sentences!&lt;/span&gt;<br /> * well-lit room<br /> * Photoshoot<br /> * To take a picture<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> ===Exercises=== <br /> <br /> ====1) Look at the photos and answer the questions, the teacher may ask you to write down your answers or to answer orally: ====<br /> <br /> [[File:Photo Studio.jpg|500px|Photo Studio]]<br /> <br /> #What is the place in the photo?<br /> #Is it dark or well-lit?<br /> #Describe the place.<br /> <br /> ==Extra Vocabulary==<br /> <br /> ===Photography===<br /> <br /> * Camera<br /> * Flash<br /> * Lens<br /> * Zoom lens<br /> * Photograph, photo<br /> * Slide<br /> * Photo album<br /> * Photographer<br /> * Tripod<br /> * Film<br /> * Reel<br /> * Projector<br /> * Screen<br /> <br /> [http://www.languageguide.org/english/vocabulary/photography/ Photography]<br /> <br /> ==Phrasal Verb==<br /> <br /> {| class=&quot;prettytable&quot;<br /> !ask for ''someone''<br /> |-<br /> |pedir para chamar alguém<br /> |}<br /> <br /> {{Example|<br /> *The little girl is '''asking for''' her mother.<br /> **A menina está pedindo para chamar a sua mãe<br /> }}<br /> <br /> <br /> : 1.

<p>Alvaro: /* EXERCISES */</p> <hr /> <div>{{#css:olexercises.css}}<br /> <br /> ==Grammar==<br /> <br /> ===Superlative Adjectives===<br /> <br /> Na [[Lesson:Essentials/32 | lição 32]] aprendemos a usar '''comparative adjectives'''. Neste, veremos superlative adjectives, que, em vez de comparar uma coisa com a outra, compara algo ou alguém com com grupo.<br /> <br /> Ex.: She is the tallest girl in her class. -&gt; Ela é a menina mais alta da sua sala.<br /> <br /> Assim como os comparativos, os superlativos também se separam em duas categorias: '''short''' e '''long'''.<br /> <br /> ===Short===<br /> <br /> Consideramos adjetivos curtos:<br /> <br /> *Aqueles com apenas uma sílaba: '''big, old, small, fast, etc.'''<br /> *Aqueles com duas sílabas terminados em y: '''happy, silly, pretty, etc.'''<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> Regras:<br /> <br /> 1. Normalmente adicionamos '''the -est'''.<br /> <br /> {{Example|<br /> *She is '''the''' old'''est''' in her family.<br /> **Ela é a mais velha da sua família.<br /> }}<br /> <br /> 2. Se o adjetivo terminar em '''e''' apenas adicionamos -'''st'''. (nice -&gt; nicest)<br /> <br /> {{Example|<br /> *Alexandra gave me the nicest gift.<br /> **Alexandra me deu o presente mais legal.<br /> }}<br /> <br /> 3. Se o adjetivo terminar em cvc (consoante + vogal + consoante), dobramos a última consoante. (big -&gt; biggest)<br /> <br /> {{Example|<br /> *My house is the biggest on the street.<br /> **A minha casa é a maior da rua.<br /> }}<br /> <br /> 4. Se o adjetivo terminar em '''y''', tiramos o '''y''' e acrescentamos -'''iest'''. (happy -&gt; happiest)<br /> <br /> {{Example|<br /> *Today was the happiest day of my life.<br /> **Hoje foi o dia mais feliz da minha vida.<br /> }}<br /> <br /> ===Long===<br /> <br /> Consideramos adjetivos longos:<br /> <br /> *Aqueles com duas sílabas não terminados em y: '''modern, pleasant, etc'''<br /> *Aqueles com três sílabas ou mais: '''expensive, beautiful, etc'''<br /> <br /> Regras:<br /> <br /> Para adjetivos longos temos apenas uma regra: acrescentamos '''the most''' antes do adjetivo.<br /> <br /> {{Example|<br /> *I want my website to be the most modern.<br /> **Eu quero que o meu site seja o mais moderno. (de todos)<br /> *This computer is the most expensive in the store.<br /> **Este computador é o mais caro da loja.<br /> }}<br /> <br /> ===Irregular adjectives===<br /> <br /> Alguns adjetivos são irregulares e não seguem as regras acima. Neste caso, precisamos decorar as suas formas irregulares.<br /> <br /> {| class=&quot;prettytable&quot;<br /> | good → the best<br /> |-<br /> | well (healthy) → the best<br /> |-<br /> | bad → worst<br /> |-<br /> | far → farthest/furthest<br /> |}<br /> <br /> {{Example|<br /> *This cellphone is the best there is.<br /> **Este celular é o melhor que existe.<br /> }}<br /> <br /> ===EXERCISES===<br /> <br /> &lt;quiz display=simple&gt;<br /> <br /> {Give the correct superlative of the adjectives in parentheses.<br /> |type=&quot;{}&quot;}<br /> a. This room is { the darkest _11 } in the house. (dark)<br /> b. Is this { the busiest _11 } street in the city? (busy)<br /> c. This is { the smallest _12 } box I could find. (small)<br /> d. Who is { the best _8 } football player in Brazil right now? (good)<br /> e. Janet is { the most beautiful _18 } person in her family. (beautiful)<br /> f. I want { the best _8 } pair of shoes you have in this store. (good)<br /> g. The Amazon is { the widest _10 } river in the world, but not { the longest _11 }. (wide / long)<br /> h. I think today is { the hottest _11 } day in the year. (hot)<br /> i. The Atacama Desert is { the driest _10 } in the world.(dry)<br /> j. Shirley was { the happiest _12 } girl in the world when she opened the present. (happy)<br /> k. She is definitely { the most intelligent _20 } person I know. (intelligent)<br /> l. Athens is { the most amazing _16 } city I know. (amazing)<br /> <br /> &lt;/quiz&gt;<br /> <br /> ====2.

<p>Alvaro: /* My room */</p> <hr /> <div>{{#css:olexercises.css}}<br /> <br /> ==Grammar==<br /> <br /> ===Comparative Adjectives===<br /> <br /> No nosso dia a dia, frequentemente comparamos uma coisa com a outra; dizemos que este é melhor que aquele, que um tal produto é mais barato que o outro.<br /> <br /> Note que a palavra melhor é um adjetivo que nos permite comparar as coisas. Por isso, hoje vamos ver como usamos em inglês estes '''comparative adjectives'''.<br /> <br /> Separamos eles em duas categorias: '''short''' e '''long'''.<br /> <br /> ===Short===<br /> <br /> Consideramos adjetivos curtos:<br /> <br /> *Aqueles com apenas uma sílaba: '''big, old, small, fast, etc.'''<br /> *Aqueles com duas sílabas terminados em y: '''happy, silly, pretty, etc.'''<br /> <br /> Regras:<br /> <br /> 1.

<p>Alvaro: /* Conversation */</p> <hr /> <div>==Conversation==<br /> <br /> Answer the following questions. You might be asked to write them down or answer them out-loud.<br /> <br /> # Do you keep a calendar? How do you use it?<br /> # How important is using a calendar for you?<br /> # Do you know what a leap year is?<br /> # Do you know anybody who was born on February, 29th?<br /> # How would you celebrate your birthday if you had been born on February, 29th?

And that means that this year we get an extra day on February, 29th. So instead of having 365 days this year, there will be 366. Great! An extra day, who really cares? Well people born on February, 29th on some previous leap year, also known as leaplings, they care, because they finally get to celebrate their real birthday. But, for the rest of us it’s just a day like any other day. Whoopdy doo. So, why do we go to all the trouble to have a leap year? Well, I’ll explain, now we all understand that day. One full day is actually how long it takes for the Earth to spin around exactly once. And a year is how long it takes for the Earth to orbit the Sun exactly once. So while the Earth orbits around the Sun in a full year, it spins around three hundred and sixty five point two five times. In other words, one full year equals 365.25 days. This is called the astronomical year. But here is the problem, our calendar year is only 365 days and that’s because there’s really no way to have a .25 day. And so those extra .25 days they just keep accumulating and what they do is make it so that the stars slowly drift out of sync with our calendar. So this is where leap year comes in to save the day. Every year we set aside those .25 days until the fourth year when they equal one full day. And then on the fourth year we put that extra day on February 29th , then we call it leap day. Bamm, we’re back in sync. That’s why February, 29th exists. Cool! But the real interesting thing, is how we humans figured this all out. It really was the Egyptians, who first figured out leap year. <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> They noticed by watching the stars, specifically the Sirius star. That the astronomical year was actually 365.25 days and they noticed this by seeing the Sirius star slowly drifting out of sync. But the western world wasn’t so fast to figure this all out. It wasn’t until many centuries later when Julius Cesar with the help of an astronomer, discovered just like the Egyptians first did that a year is really 365.25 days and they created the Julian calendar with the leap year that we know and love to fix that problem. Well done Julius! Well, not so fast. You see, if you want to get really exact about it, the astronomical year is actually 365.2422 days which is 11min. 14 sec. shorter than the Julian calendar. And that means in a hundred and twenty eight years from now, if we use the Julian calendar, we’ll be off again by one full day. So today, we use a revised version of the Julian calendar. <br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> It’s called the Gregorian calendar because pope Gregory initiated it. The Gregorian calendar is just like the Julian calendar, but it has got a few more rules, so while every fourth year is a leap year. Every year that’s divisible by 100 are now no longer leap years. That means that years 1700, 1800, 1900 those were not leap years even knowing they normally would be. And here is another rule, if the year is also divisible by 400, then it is still a leap year. Which means that the year 2000 that was a leap year. And without those complicated rules, our calendars can stay in sync with the star for millennia to come. But, one more thing. Did you know that the Earth’s rotation is slowing at a way of .005 seconds per year? And that means in about two billion years we’re gonna have to add one more leap year to keep us in sync. But don’t worry we’ve got plenty of time to revise the calendar and fix that.<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Writing practice==<br /> <br /> Write a couple of paragraphs talking about how you use calendars and how you usually schedule things. Make sure to use words you learned from the text and try to make it as long as you can. <br /> <br /> [[Category:Awaiting review]]<br /> <br /> {{#widget:DISQUS<br /> |id=jointhegrove<br /> |uniqid={{PAGENAME}}<br /> |url={{fullurl:{{PAGENAME}}}}<br /> }}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Core]]</div>
