Hi, students! Vamos à nossa aula de hoje:
:: Content: READING COMPREHENSION
How are things? I hope this class finds you well! This week we are going to work with a little bit of Reading Comprehension. If you have any difficulty with the vocabulary of the text in order to answer the questions, look up for words in a good translator online. But don’t translate the whole text, try to grasp the meaning / interpretation by the words you already know.
Como estão as coisas? Espero que esta lição o encontre bem! Nesta semana, vamos trabalhar com um pouco de compreensão de leitura. Se você tiver alguma dificuldade com o vocabulário do texto para responder às perguntas, procure palavras em um bom tradutor online. Mas não traduza o texto inteiro, tente entender o significado / interpretação pelas palavras que você já conhece.
:: TEXT 1
Read this letter from Milena to her pen-pal, Elena. There are six paragraphs. Match each paragraph to a subject by writing the correct letter (A-F) for what it talks about.
Leia esta carta de Milena para sua amiga, Elena. Existem seis parágrafos. Associe cada parágrafo a um assunto, escrevendo a letra correta (A-F) para o que ele fala.
Dear Elena,
Thank you for the letter you sent me last week. I'm very happy to hear that you and Francesco are well and that your exam results were so good. Well done! I know you studied hard and you deserve your success.
Mine are next week so at the moment I'm studying a lot. I'm really nervous about them because, if you remember, I was ill for a couple of months at the end of the year and so I missed a lot of lessons. When they finish I would like to come and visit you for a few days, if that's OK with your mom and dad.
Do you remember I told you about my friend Amanda from Scotland? She's going to come here next month and is going to stay for two weeks. I'd like you to come too so you can meet her and we can all go out together. What do you think? We can practice our English!
I remember last year we had such a good time. The beaches near your house are wonderful and I really enjoyed meeting your friends (especially Roberto! Is he still single?) I can't remember the name of the disco next to the train station but I'd like to go there again - it was fun.
Oh, guess what! Jason broke his arm last weekend! He went to the skateboard park with his friends from school and fell down some steps (he doesn't know how to skateboard!) He's got a plaster cast and he's going to have it for at least six weeks. He's such an idiot!
My mom's calling me for lunch so I'll finish this letter now. Say hello to your family and don't forget to congratulate Francesco for me.
lots of love
Milena x x

A. Memories
B. Well done!
C. Plans

Martin had a terrible day yesterday. It was the day of his vacation to Spain but it was a nightmare. He left the house at 10 o'clock in the morning and caught a taxi to the airport.
Martin went to the check-in with his luggage. When the man who worked for the airline asked for his passport, Martin became very upset. Where was his passport? Martin realized he didn't have his passport with him. What a disaster!
He jumped back into the taxi and told the driver to take him home. The driver drove quickly and Martin arrived back at his house in twenty minutes.
He ran into the house and went into his bedroom. He found his passport on the bedside table and left the house again. But the taxi wasn't there! Where was the taxi!
Martin jumped up and down angrily. "I don't believe it. The taxi left!" he shouted. He ran down the street and looked for another taxi.
After a few minutes, Martin found another taxi and told the driver to take him to the airport as quickly as possible. The traffic on the roads was very bad and, unfortunately, Martin's taxi arrived at the airport late. His plane left for Spain at 11.30 and Martin missed it. He was very sad and went to speak to the airline. They promised to get him a seat on an evening flight and Martin went home on another taxi to wait.
