Writing Language Reference
Welcome to Adult Track!
Este curso foi desenhado especialmente para você, que precisa estar preparado para se comunicar em inglês hoje, na sua vida profissional
e pessoal. Sabemos o quanto o seu tempo é precioso e, por isso, você irá usar inglês desde o primeiro dia de aula, sempre em contextos e
situações que se assemelham muito àquelas que aparecem no seu dia a dia. Sendo assim, você aprenderá o inglês da vida real, que você
poderá usar para realizar tarefas desde as mais simples como receber um visitante estrangeiro até participar de uma reunião de negócios.
O Adult Track é um curso inovador justamente por isso: você participará ativamente das aulas, trazendo as expressões e estruturas que
você precisa e não apenas aquelas apresentadas pelo livro. Para garantir esse nível de personalização e a atualização permanente dos
assuntos tratados no curso, além da sua contribuição, o Adult Track utiliza vários recursos complementares como filmes, documentários,
artigos, sites e os materiais multimídia exclusivos da Cultura Inglesa, como atividades no quadro interativo, o e-Campus e o Culture World.
O livro é apenas mais um desses recursos. Para acompanhar o curso com mais autonomia e tirar melhor proveito das aulas, preparamos
este guia que apresenta a estrutura do curso aula a aula e reúne indicações de atividades, dicas de estudo e materiais de referência
exclusivos. Esse guia irá:
1. orientar seu estudo;
2. sugerir recursos extras de consolidação do que foi visto nas aulas;
3. oferecer ideias de como expandir o seu conhecimento;
4. identificar o que deve ser priorizado na hora da revisão; e
5. servir de apoio e referência caso você precise faltar às aulas.
APRESENTAÇÃO DAS SESSÕES DO GUIA Número da aula: O seu estágio é composto por 32 aulas, incluindo avaliações e momentos formais de feedback durante o curso. Communication Purpose:
Aqui você encontra o foco do que será estudado em cada aula. Cada uma das aulas gira em torno de uma situação específica relacionada à vida real. O livro é apenas um dos muitos recursos usados para
que esse objetivo comunicativo seja atingido, porque o conteúdo de cada aula é exclusivo da Cultura Inglesa. Consolidation: Aqui estão sugestões de atividades essenciais para a consolidação do que foi
visto em sala de aula. Esses exercícios e tarefas retomam a língua que foi apresentada e praticada em sala através de contextos variados. Quanto mais tempo você conseguir se dedicar ao estudo do inglês
fora das aulas, melhor e mais rápido será o seu desenvolvimento. Expansion: Quanto mais contato você tiver com o inglês, melhor! Você pode aproveitar o seu tempo livre e organizar momentos extras
de estudo. Use essas dicas de como expandir a sua prática e a sua exposição ao idioma e acelere o seu aprendizado!
COMO USÁ-LO Você pode acompanhar o conteúdo de cada aula clicando diretamente no número correspondente a ela. Para cada aula, você terá também um diálogo modelo com os itens trabalhados
em aula. Clique neste símbolo para ser direcionado para o diálogo. O guia também apresenta modelos para as redações que você irá escrever. Clique neste símbolo para ir direto às instruções para
escrever seu texto e ver um modelo de referência. Para voltar ao menu da primeira página, clique neste símbolo . A cada quatro aulas, você também encontra mais dicas de estudo para otimizar seu
aprendizado. Não deixe de contar com a ajuda de seu professor em caso de dúvidas. Esperamos que, com esse material, você se torne cada vez mais independente e bem-sucedido no uso do inglês no seu
dia a dia. Tenha um ótimo semestre!

Prezado aluno,
Converse com o seu professor para saber a data desta avaliação e peça dicas de como se preparar melhor para este dia. Lembre-se que o foco do teste é em aspectos
comunicativos e funcionais, e são baseados nos objetivos de cada aula ministrada. O teste tem duração de 60 minutos e é divido em três partes:
Listening (compreensão oral) = 10 pontos
Reading (compreensão escrita) = 10 pontos
Language in use (gramática e vocabulário) = 10 pontos / Total = 30 pontos*
*O total da avaliação é convertido de 30 para 20 pontos.
Tip: Quando for estudar para o teste, procure não estudar por muito tempo uma única aula. Use uns minutos para se planejar e mapear as principais dúvidas. Reflita sobre os objetivos comunicativos que você precisa praticar mais ou menos. Combine com seus colegas para estudarem juntos e praticar os diálogos em voz alta.

I saw a film called Mamma Mia last weekend. It's a musical and the setting is a beautiful Greek island. The film is fantastic, and the story is interesting for everyone. The actors are excellent and the songs in the film are really great. Some of the singing is terrible but it's not a problem.
The story is great fun. At the beginning of the film, a pretty young girl called Sophie plans to get married. She has got a mother called Donna but she doesn't know her father. Sophie wants to find her father. She looks in her mother's diary and invites three men (called Sam, Bill and Harry) to the wedding. Donna is happy to meet the three men again but she doesn't know who Sophie's father is. At the end of the film... Well, you have to watch it!
It's a very good film and I really recommend it.

Dear Mr. Harrison,
I saw your advertisement on the internet and I would like to apply to be a waitress in your coffee bar.
I am 25 years old and I am from Portugal. My parents have a small café in Oporto and I often help them. Now I am in Sydney. I work in an ice cream parlour three evenings a week but I would like a full-time job.
I believe I can do this job very well. I can speak three languages – Portuguese, Spanish and English. I can work quickly and I am good at making different types of coffee (for example espresso, cappuccino, latte). I am friendly and I like meeting people. I am also hard-working and efficient.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours sincerely,
Tania Pedroso

Hi Jerry,
I’m writing this postcard from Geneva! Yes, I arrived here yesterday to start my new job. The job is great and people are friendlier than in my last job. But everything is very different here. The weather is colder than the weather at home and things are more expensive in the shops. The day starts much earlier here, but public transport is better and people don't usually arrive
late for work, like they do at home. People here drive on the left, so that's a bit strange for me.
Anyway, that's all for now - I am going out now to get the bus to work.
Write soon!

TEXT MODEL
I went to Ubatuba in September with my wife and some friends. We travelled by car and we stayed in a comfortable hotel near the main avenue. The city is very beautiful and it has got lots of beaches! The trip was exciting and everybody was happy to be there. We visited several beaches and waterfalls. In the evening, we ate seafood in different restaurants. My friends and I played football every day, but my wife stayed at the hotel most of the time. She loved the swimming pool. The sea water was warm so I swam and went surfing too. I bought some presents for my niece and my best friend, Joseph. It was a great trip because I had a good time with people I love and I was close to nature.
