Many studies about language learning ask the question: What makes a good language learner?
Muitos estudos sobre a aprendizagem de línguas levantam a questão: O que é um bom aprendiz de línguas?
  • "language learner" - aprendiz de língua.
There are some things that good language learners do and some things they don’t do. Here are some of the most useful suggestions from studies:
Há algumas coisas que os bons alunos de línguas fazem e outras que não fazem. Eis algumas das sugestões mais úteis dos estudos:
• Don’t be afraid of making mistakes. People often get things wrong. Good language learners notice their mistakes and learn from them.
Não tenha medo de cometer erros. Muitas vezes as pessoas entendem as coisas erradas. Os bons aprendizes de línguas percebem os seus erros e aprendem com eles.
• Do group activities. People use language to communicate with other people. A good language learner always looks for opportunities to talk with other students.
Faça atividades em grupo. As pessoas utilizam a linguagem para comunicar com outras pessoas. Um bom aluno de línguas procura sempre oportunidades para conversar com outros alunos.
• Make notes during every class. Notes help you to remember new language. Look at your notes when you do your homework.
Faça anotações durante cada aula. As notas ajudam-no a lembrar-se do novo idioma. Observe as suas anotações ao fazer os trabalhos de casa.
• Use a dictionary. Good language learners often use dictionaries to check the meaning of words they don’t know. They also make their own vocabulary lists.
Utilize um dicionário. Os bons aprendizes de línguas utilizam frequentemente dicionários para verificar o significado de palavras que não conhecem. Também fazem as suas próprias listas de vocabulário.
• Think in the language you’re learning outside the classroom. When you’re shopping or walking down the street, remember useful words and phrases. Sometimes, when you’re at home, say new words to practise your pronunciation.
Pense no idioma que está aprendendo fora da sala de aula. Quando estiver fazendo compras ou passeando pela rua, lembre-se de palavras e frases úteis. Por vezes, quando estiver em casa, diga novas palavras para praticar a sua pronúncia.
• Do extra practice. Test and improve your language, reading and listening skills with self-study material. You can find a lot of this online.
Faça prática extra. Teste e melhore as suas habilidades de linguagem, leitura e compreensão oral com material de auto-estudo. Pode encontrar muito disso online.
• Imagine yourself speaking in the language. Many good language learners can see and hear themselves speaking in the language. This helps their motivation.
Imagine-se falando no idioma. Muitos bons alunos de línguas conseguem ver e ouvir-se falando na língua. Isso ajuda na motivação deles.
Enjoy the process. Good language learners have fun with the language. Watch a TV series or film, listen to songs, play video games or read a book. It’s never too late to become a good language learner.
Aproveite o processo. Os bons alunos de línguas divertem-se com o idioma. Veja uma série de TV ou um filme, ouça música, jogue videojogos ou leia um livro. Nunca é tarde para se tornar um bom aluno de línguas.

Managing globalization: if it’s here to stay, what do we know?
Gerir a globalização: se veio para ficar, o que sabemos?
  • Daniel Altman
Two decades have passed since the word “globalization” started showing up with any frequency in discussions of business and economics.
Passaram duas décadas desde que a palavra “globalização” começou a aparecer com alguma frequência nas discussões sobre negócios e economia.
At first, the focus was on Western companies trying to compete with cheaper, sometimes better imports from Japan, South Korea, China and other countries.
No início, o foco estava nas empresas ocidentais que tentavam competir com importações mais baratas, por vezes melhores, do Japão, Coreia do Sul, China e outros países.
It was a straight fight: the battle lines were drawn along each country’s borders.
Foi uma luta direta: as linhas de batalha foram traçadas ao longo das fronteiras de cada país.
Later on, things become more complex. Asian companies started designing and assembling products in the West. Western companies opened up new fronts by sending jobs abroad - not just in manufacturing but in service industries as well.
Mais tarde, as coisas tornam-se mais complexas. As empresas asiáticas começaram a conceber e a montar produtos no Ocidente. As empresas ocidentais abriram novas frentes enviando empregos para o estrangeiro – não apenas na indústria transformadora, mas também nas indústrias de serviços.
At the turn of the millennium, there was a lot of talk about whether globalization was a Good Thing or a Bad Thing.
Na virada do milênio, falava-se muito sobre se a globalização era uma coisa boa ou má. 
One side argued that it allowed big, multinational corporations to exploit workers in poor countries to pad their profit margins.
Um dos lados argumentou que permitiu que grandes empresas multinacionais explorassem trabalhadores em países pobres para aumentar as suas margens de lucro.
The other side retorted that the expansion of these corporations into the developing world offered the best hope for raising living standards.
O outro lado respondeu que a expansão destas empresas no mundo em desenvolvimento oferecia a melhor esperança para  melhorar os padrões de vida. 
  • "Living standard"(noun)(standard of living) - Padrão de vida.
  • "improve/raise + living standard",
One side complained that globalization was creating and destroying industries too quickly for the labor force to adjust.
Um dos lados queixou-se de que a globalização estava criando e destruindo indústrias muito rapidamente para que a força de trabalho se pudesse ajustar.
  • "too quickly" - muito rapidamente, rápido demais, precipitadamente.
The other side answered that these shifts were rapidly improving the world’s ability to use its resources efficiently.
O outro lado respondeu que estas mudanças estavam a melhorando rapidamente a capacidade do mundo de utilizar os seus recursos de forma eficiente.
Now, it’s pretty clear that globalization, be it good or bad, is an Unavoidable Thing (...)
Agora, é bastante claro que a globalização, seja ela boa ou má, é uma coisa inevitável (...)
  • "an Unavoidable Thing" - uma coisa inevitável, uma questão inadiável.
>>Adapted from Sharma, Pete. Reading the News, Thomson ELT, 2007.

TRADUÇÃO DO TEXTO:
Turtle’s walk delays planes at Tokyo airport
Caminhada da tartaruga atrasa aviões no aeroporto de Tóquio
1º PARÁGRAFO:
There are many reasons for delays at airports. Sometimes it’s bad weather, sometimes it’s a technical problem, and other times it’s a passenger who is late to the boarding gate. Narita Airport in Tokyo, Japan has added a new cause of flight delays – a turtle going for a walk. The runway at Narita had to close for 12 minutes because a 2.1-kilogram turtle was spotted on the tarmac.
Existem muitas razões para atrasos nos aeroportos. Às vezes é mau tempo, às vezes é um problema técnico e outras vezes é um passageiro que está atrasado para o portão de embarque. O Aeroporto de Narita, em Tóquio, no Japão, adicionou uma nova causa de atrasos nos voos – uma tartaruga saindo para passear. A pista de Narita teve que fechar por 12 minutos porque uma tartaruga de 2,1 quilos foi avistada na pista.
The pilot of an airplane waiting to take off told air traffic controllers about the small reptile at around 11:35am. There was an immediate search for it. This caused the delay of five flights. Airport staff managed to locate the creature. They safely removed it with a net. They reported that it was unharmed.
O piloto de um avião que esperava para decolar contou aos controladores de tráfego aéreo sobre o pequeno réptil por volta das 11h35. Houve uma busca imediata por ele. Isso causou o atraso de cinco voos. A equipe do aeroporto conseguiu localizar a criatura. Eles o removeram com segurança com uma rede. Eles relataram que ele estava ileso.
2º PARÁGRAFO:
A Narita Airport spokesperson said she believed the turtle lived in a nearby pond. It managed to get under a fence alongside the airport and crawl onto the runway. The turtle might have decided to sunbathe because of the warm weather. It was a lot warmer than usual at the airport for the time of the year. Shortly after the turtle was caught, an A380 airplane took off from the runway. By coincidence, the A380 was painted in a turtle design.
Um porta-voz do aeroporto de Narita disse acreditar que a tartaruga vivia em um lago próximo. Ele conseguiu passar por baixo de uma cerca ao lado do aeroporto e rastejar até a pista. A tartaruga pode ter decidido tomar sol por causa do clima quente. Estava muito mais quente do que o normal no aeroporto para aquela época do ano. Pouco depois da captura da tartaruga, um avião A380 decolou da pista. Por coincidência, o A380 foi pintado com desenho de tartaruga.
The plane was from the Japanese airline ANA. It was going to the island of Okinawa in the south of Japan. An ANA spokesperson said: “Turtles are seen as bringing good luck. We hope this turtle, who came to see the flight off, signals a bright future.”
O avião era da companhia aérea japonesa ANA. Ia para a ilha de Okinawa, no sul do Japão. Um porta-voz da ANA disse: “As tartarugas são vistas como trazendo boa sorte. Esperamos que esta tartaruga, que veio ver o voo partir, sinalize um futuro brilhante.”

I sold my first car at 11 and earned a million by 14
Vendi meu primeiro carro aos 11 anos e ganhei um milhão aos 14
Tom Hartley Jr
1º PARÁGRAFO:
►All my life, I’ve been around cars.
Toda a minha vida estive perto de carros.
►Some of my earliest memories are of being in the showroom and wacth my father close deals for cars such as Ferraris and Lamborghinis.
Algumas das minhas primeiras lembranças são de estar no showroom e ver meu pai fechar negócios para carros como Ferraris e Lamborghinis.
►Everyone’s good at something: I discovered my forte at an early age, and was fortunate enough to have a father who was already in the car business.
Todo mundo é bom em alguma coisa: descobri meu forte desde cedo e tive a sorte de ter um pai que já trabalhava no ramo automobilístico.
►I sold my first car - a Porsche convertible - at the age of 11 and by the time I was 14, I was buying and selling around three cars a week. That was the age I became Britain’s youngest self-made millionaire.
Vendi meu primeiro carro - um Porsche conversível - aos 11 anos e aos 14 já comprava e vendia cerca de três carros por semana. Foi nessa idade que me tornei o mais jovem milionário da Grã-Bretanha.
2º PARÁGRAFO:
Sometimes people make the mistake of thinking that success has been handed to me on a plate.
Às vezes as pessoas cometem o erro de pensar que o sucesso me foi entregue de bandeja.
►But everything I have I’ve earned myself - and all my share of profits went into a trust fund so that at 18 I was able to buy half of the business.
Mas tudo o que tenho, eu próprio ganhei - e toda a minha parte nos lucros foi para um fundo fiduciário, de modo que, aos 18 anos, consegui comprar metade do negócio.
►I love the fact that I get to meet different kinds of people through my work.
Adoro o fato de poder conhecer diferentes tipos de pessoas através do meu trabalho.

4º PARÁGRAFO:
In my opinion, natural business acumen is not something that can be taught - it comes from the inside. There has to be an inherent competitive streak. Good salesmen are in competition with themselves - they’re always trying to do better and sell more.
Na minha opinião, a perspicácia natural para os negócios não é algo que possa ser ensinado - ela vem de dentro. Tem que haver uma tendência competitiva inerente. Bons vendedores competem consigo mesmos – estão sempre tentando fazer melhor e vender mais.

TRADUÇÃO DO TEXTO:
Giant floating robots and millennia-old odors make up a new installation at Tate Modern Museum
Robôs flutuantes gigantes e odores milenares compõem uma nova instalação no Tate Modern Museum
Aimee Dawson
1º PARÁGRAFO:
►Two species of intelligent robots have moved into some prime, Thames-side real estate: Tate Modern’s Turbine Hall. Collectively named “aerobes,” the floating orbs that the New York-based artist Anicka Yi has created to inhabit the cavernous space are called “planulae” and “xenojellies”.
Duas espécies de robôs inteligentes mudaram-se para um imóvel nobre do lado do Tâmisa: o Turbine Hall da Tate Modern. Chamados coletivamente de “aeróbios”, os orbes flutuantes que a artista radicada em Nova York Anicka Yi criou para habitar o espaço cavernoso são chamados de “planulae” e “xenojellies”.
2º PARÁGRAFO:
►Inspired by ocean life forms and mushrooms, ___ helium-filled shapes move around using rotors and ___ small battery pack. Together, they create ___ “ecosystem” within ___ museum, Yi said in a press statement, interacting with their environment and visitors, and displaying individual and group behaviors.
Inspiradas nas formas de vida oceânicas e nos cogumelos, ___ formas cheias de hélio se movem usando rotores e ___ pequenas baterias. Juntos, eles criam ___ “ecossistema” dentro do museu ___, disse Yi em um comunicado à imprensa, interagindo com o ambiente e os visitantes e exibindo comportamentos individuais e de grupo.
3º PARÁGRAFO:
►Behind the scenes, an incredible amount of AI technology and research is powering this floating family. A team of specialists has developed the aerial vehicles using software that gives each a unique flight path. The software, called an artificial life program, generates a huge range of journey options for the orbs to take and therefore simulates the somewhat unpredictable processes of natural life.
Nos bastidores, uma quantidade incrível de tecnologia e pesquisa de IA está alimentando esta família flutuante. Uma equipe de especialistas desenvolveu os veículos aéreos usando um software que dá a cada um deles uma trajetória de voo única. O software, chamado de programa de vida artificial, gera uma enorme variedade de opções de viagem para os orbes e, portanto, simula os processos um tanto imprevisíveis da vida natural. 
4º PARÁGRAFO:
►The robots will respond to the space and people around them by receiving information from electronic sensors positioned around the venue. The signals affect them individually and as a group so that they will behave differently upon each encounter.
Os robôs responderão ao espaço e às pessoas ao seu redor, recebendo informações de sensores eletrônicos posicionados ao redor do local. Os sinais os afetam individualmente e como grupo, de modo que se comportarão de maneira diferente em cada encontro.
5º PARÁGRAFO:
►“Like a bee’s dance or an ant’s scent trail, the aerobes communicate with each other in ways we cannot understand,” a Tate Modern statement described.
“Como a dança de uma abelha ou o rastro do cheiro de uma formiga, os aeróbios se comunicam entre si de maneiras que não conseguimos entender”, descreveu uma declaração da Tate Modern.
6º PARÁGRAFO:
►Yi is also using her aerobes to question ideas around intelligence and our focus on the brain as its main transmitter.
Yi também está usando seus aeróbios para questionar ideias sobre inteligência e nosso foco no cérebro como seu principal transmissor.
