Everything to Know About the Beijing Winter Olympics Opening Ceremony
 
The Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics opening ceremony took place on Feb. 4 in a world that has changed dramatically since the last time the Chinese capital held the Olympic Games.
 
The 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics marked China's "coming out" as a global superpower. 

One third of the world tuned in to the $100 million event. 

Some 15,000 performers participated in a production that showcased the best of Chinese history and culture. 

An estimated 91,000 people, including U.S. President George W. 

Bush and other world leaders, attended the event, which Steven Spielberg had called the "grandest spectacle of the new millennium."
 
Here's what you need to know about the 2022 Winter Olympics Opening Ceremony.
 
When is the 2022 Beijing Olympics Opening Ceremony?
 
The opening ceremony for the 2022 Winter Games is on Feb. 4. 

The Beijing Olympics' formal opening began at 7:30 p:m. China Standard Time - or 6:30 a.m. ET and 3:30 a.m. PT.
 
What happened at. the. Beijing Olympics Opening Ceremony?
 
Beijing's organizing committee assured a "simple, safe and splendid" staging of the Winter Games during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the opening ceremony will reflect that theme.
 
lntemationally acclaimed filmmaker Zhang Yimou, who directed the spectacular launch of the 2008 Summer Olympics, returned for the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics opening ceremony. 

He promised a "different and unique" opening this time around in an interview with state-run news outlet Xinhua: "China's status in the world, the image of the Chinese and the rise of our national status - everything is totally different now." 

With a runtime of 1 hour and 40 minutes and some 3,000 performers joining, the ceremony was scaled down from 2008's extravaganza due to cold weather and the pandemic. 

lt was still held at the National Stadium, dubbed the "Bird's Nest," and Zhang promised an "innovative" cauldron-lighting that will echo China's thrust towards environmental protection.
 
Who is attending the Winter Olympics this year?
 
Some 2,900 athletes from over 90 countries are attending the Winter Games in China, close to figures of participating athletes in Sochi, Russia in 2014 and Pyeongchang, South Korea in 2018.
 
How will China minimize COVID-19 infections during the Winter Olympics?
 
The Zero COVID policy is the cornerstone of the Beijing Olympics anti-epidemie playbook published last December. China will manage athletes and other inbound participants under a "closed-loop" system. 

Athletes, coaches and the media will only be allowed to visit designaled Olympics venues using special transportation that is separate from Beijing's 21.5 million people. 

The three zones of Beijing, Yanqing, and Zhangjiakou will have their own closed loop systems - barring those inside from having any contact with the wider Chinese population. 

To transfer from one closed loop system to another, they must take designaled trains, or travei on assigned buses which will ply specific routes.
 
🟩 QUESTÃO 21 – According to the text:
🅐 the 2022 opening ceremony was smaller than 2008's.
🅑 in 2008, China hosted the Winter Olympic Games in Beijing.
🅒 the ceremony was bigger than 2008's with a great audience.
🅓 athletes and coaches are free to go anywhere during the event.
🅔 there isn't any measure to minimize COVID-19 infections.
💡  GABARITO  Ⓐ  
🧊Enunciado:
According to the text:
✔ 🅐 the 2022 opening ceremony was smaller than 2008's. – CORRETA
O texto afirma claramente:
O evento de 2022 teria uma cerimônia “simple, safe and splendid” (simples),
Seria “scaled down from 2008’s extravaganza”,
Com 3,000 performers, bem menos que os 15,000 performers de 2008.
➡ Portanto, sim, a cerimônia de 2022 foi menor do que a de 2008.
Resposta A está perfeitamente alinhada ao texto.
❌ (B) in 2008, China hosted the Winter Olympic Games in Beijing. – INCORRETA (pegadinha histórica)
O texto deixa claro:
2008 = Summer Olympics, não Winter.
A alternativa tenta confundir quem não prestar atenção ao detalhe “Summer Olympics”.
❌ (C) the ceremony was bigger than 2008's with a great audience. – INCORRETA
O texto afirma exatamente o oposto:
A de 2022 foi reduzida (“scaled down”),
Com menos performers,
E pandemia, o que reduz público.
Logo, não foi maior e não teve a mesma audiência gigantesca de 2008.
❌ (D) athletes and coaches are free to go anywhere during the event. – INCORRETA (contradição direta)
O texto diz:
Eles ficam dentro de um sistema “closed-loop”,
Sem contato com a população,
Usando transporte especial e separado.
Ou seja: não são livres para circular.
❌ (E) there isn't any measure to minimize COVID-19 infections. – INCORRETA
O texto detalha várias medidas:
Zero COVID policy
closed-loop system
transporte exclusivo
sem contato com a população
Então, há muitas medidas — exatamente o contrário da alternativa.

🟩 QUESTÃO 22 – Read the following sentence taken from lhe text.
🔹"The 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics marked China's "coming out" as a global superpower."
What can we infer?
🅐 Summer Olympics in 2008 was a total disaster.
🅑 China became the most powerful country.
🅒 The 2008 Summer Olympics was a success.
🅓 The ceremony in 2008 was simple and safe.
🅔 The event was scaled down from the last one.
💡  GABARITO  Ⓒ  
🧊Sentença:
🔹 "The 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics marked China's 'coming out' as a global superpower."
📌What can we infer?
✅ 🅒 The 2008 Summer Olympics was a success. – CORRETA.
O texto diz que os Jogos de 2008 foram o “coming out” da China como superpotência global, ou seja, um tipo de apresentação triunfal para o mundo.
Além disso, o texto menciona:
US$ 100 milhões investidos,
15.000 performers,
1/3 do planeta assistiu,
Foi chamado de “the grandest spectacle of the new millennium”.
Tudo isso indica grande sucesso, impacto e magnitude.
➡ Portanto, podemos inferir que o evento foi um sucesso.
📌 Análise das pegadinhas:
(A) Summer Olympics in 2008 was a total disaster. – INCORRETA
Totalmente contrário ao texto, que descreve o evento como um grande espetáculo e marco histórico.
🪤Pegadinha: tentar inverter o sentido (disaster × superpotência).
(B) China became the most powerful country. – INCORRETA
“Coming out as a global superpower” não significa que virou a mais poderosa, e sim que se apresentou ao mundo como uma potência importante.
🪤Pegadinha: trocar “global superpower” por “most powerful”, o que o texto não afirma.
(D) The ceremony in 2008 was simple and safe. – INCORRETA
Isso é o contrário do texto:
2008 = extravaganza, gigante, grandioso.
2022 = simple, safe and splendid.
🪤Pegadinha: misturar as descrições de 2022 com 2008.
(E) The event was scaled down from the last one. – INCORRETA
Isso vale para 2022, não para 2008.
2022 foi “scaled down” em relação a 2008.
2008 foi o maior evento.

🟩 QUESTÃO 23 – Read the foliowing sentence: 
🔹"(...) they must take designated trains, or travel on assigned buses which will ply specific routes."
What's the idea expressed by must in the sentence?
🅐 Permission.
🅑 Possibility
🅒 Obligation.
🅓 Probability.
🅔 Suggestion.
💡  GABARITO  Ⓒ  
🧊 Trecho:
🔹 "they must take designated trains, or travel on assigned buses which will ply specific routes."
A pergunta é: Qual ideia “must” expressa nesse contexto?
✅ 🅒 Obligation — CORRETA.
No inglês, must pode expressar vários sentidos (obligation, deduction, recommendation etc.), mas aqui o texto descreve as regras rígidas do sistema “closed-loop” durante os Jogos de Inverno.
➡ Eles devem pegar trens designados ou ônibus específicos — ou seja, é obrigatório seguir essas regras. Não há escolha.
📌 Por que as outras estão erradas?
(A) Permission — Permissão
Seria “may” ou “can”.
“Must” nunca indica permissão.
(B) Possibility — Possibilidade
Possibilidade seria “might”, “may”, “could”.
“Must” não indica isso aqui.
(D) Probability — Probabilidade
“Must” pode indicar probabilidade em contextos como:
“She must be tired” = Ela deve estar cansada.
Mas NO TEXTO não há dedução. É regra → obrigação.
(E) Suggestion — Sugestão
Sugestão seria expressa por “should”.
“Must” não sugere — ordena.

🟩 QUESTÃO 24 – Say if the following statements are T (true) or F (false). Then, mark the correct option.
(   ) 15,000 athletes attended The 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics.
(   ) Zhang Yimou directed two Olympics opening ceremony in Beijing.
(   ) George W. Bush attended the 2022 Beijing Olympics Opening Ceremony.
(   ) The 2022 Opening Ceremony took place at the sarne stadium as in 2008.
🅐 (T) (F) (T) (F)
🅑 (F) (T) (F) (T)
🅒 (F) (F) (T) (F)
🅓 (T) (T) (F) (T)
🅔 (F) (T) (T) (T)
💡  GABARITO  Ⓑ  
🧊Análise detalhada:
1️⃣ “15,000 athletes attended The 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics.”
FALSA
O texto diz:
➡ “Some 15,000 performers participated in a production (…)”
Ou seja, performers, não athletes.
2️⃣ ✅“Zhang Yimou directed two Olympics opening ceremony in Beijing.”
✔ VERDADEIRA
O texto afirma:
➡ Ele dirigiu o espetáculo de 2008 e voltou para dirigir o de 2022.
Logo, duas cerimônias.
3️⃣ “George W. Bush attended the 2022 Beijing Olympics Opening Ceremony.”
FALSA
No texto:
➡ Ele compareceu à abertura de 2008, não de 2022.
4️⃣ “The 2022 Opening Ceremony took place at the same stadium as in 2008.”
✔ VERDADEIRA
O texto diz claramente:
➡ “It was still held at the National Stadium, dubbed the ‘Bird’s Nest’.”
O mesmo usado em 2008.
✅ Sequência correta → 🅑 (F) (T) (F) (T).

The Positive and Negative Effects of Technology on Your Life
 
As a society, we've come a long way with lhe help of technology. But is it all rainbows and sunshine? Technology is around us everywhere, from simple devices like our smartphones, laptop, and TV to background tech that we don't even notice. Once we get the hang of using tech the right way, it can improve our lives and make our lives better. On the other hand, tech can also make our lives harder. Whether technology has a positive or negative effect on our lives, it all depends on how we use it. So, let's look at some of lhe positive and negative aspects of technology in our lives, shall we?
 
Positives of Technology in Our Lives
 
1. Technology Boosts Business
 
Many new tech advancements and innovations are made by and for businesses. Why? Because companies are always looking to upgrade their products and services for profit. The purpose is to boost business and make the daily management of enterprises more systematic, structured, and successful.
 
2. Technology Makes Shopping Online Possible
 
Advancements in tech have made it easier and cheaper for more people to access the internet. Currently, most people prefer to shop online without leaving the house because of its sheer convenience.
 
3. Technology Has Advanced Education
 
One of the most downplayed areas of technology that has dramaticaliy improved over the past few years is education. A few examples include the availability of online courses, accessibility of web seminars, and unlimited online resources for research. Before tech, you'd have to physicaliy go to class, attend a meeting or go to the library to do research. Now, education is easier for everyone, no matter where you live.
 
4. Technology Makes Everyday Life Better
 
Tech has made an immensely positive impact on the daily lives of everyday people. Some positive examples include improvements in the transportation system and household items.
 
Negatives of Technology in Our Lives
 
1. Technology Causes Health Problems
 
Apart from creating unhealthy sleeping patterns, electronic devices can cause digital eye strain, poor postura, and increased inactivity, leading to health problems like obesity.
 
2. Technology Creates Job lnsecurity
 
Job loss and downsizing are two significant adverse effects of technology. Because of advances in the tech field such as AI integration, automating and accomplishing tasks have become easy.
 
3. Tech Products Lack Longevity
 
Technology grows incredibly quickly, so the digital devices and gadgets that we use have a short lifespan and become outdated in a matter of months. These pieces of tech can be pushed aside by newer.
 
4. Technology Spawns Misinformation and Fake News
 
The spread of misinformation and fake news online is nothing new. However, with all the developments that happen so frequently in technology, it has become harder to define what's true and what's not.
 
🟩 QUESTÃO 25
According to the text, it is correct to state that:
🅐 technology has, without a doubt, made all our lives worse over the past two decades.
🅑 as technology advances, we are connected now more than ever and it doesn't impact our physical health.
🅒 some devices are so important in our daily lives that we don't need a more advanced version.
🅓 machines can now carry out tasks that only humans could do so far, which improves job opportunities.
🅔 because of technology advancements, many people cannot tell what information is factual and what isn't.
💡  GABARITO  Ⓔ  
🧊Enunciado:
O que o enunciado pede?
👉 Identificar a alternativa compatível com as ideias do texto sobre os efeitos positivos e negativos da tecnologia.
🅐 “technology has, without a doubt, made all our lives worse over the past two decades.”
Incorreta.
O texto diz justamente o contrário: tecnologia tem lados positivos e negativos, dependendo do uso. Não afirma que “piorou nossas vidas sem dúvida”.
🅑 “as technology advances, we are connected now more than ever and it doesn't impact our physical health.”
Incorreta.
O texto diz claramente que tecnologia causa problemas de saúde, como má postura, sedentarismo, distúrbios do sono e até obesidade.
🅒 “some devices are so important in our daily lives that we don't need a more advanced version.”
Incorreta.
O texto afirma o oposto:
👉 tecnologia evolui rápido e os aparelhos ficam desatualizados em poucos meses.
🅓 “machines can now carry out tasks that only humans could do so far, which improves job opportunities.”
Incorreta.
O texto diz que isso prejudica empregos:
👉 “job loss and downsizing” são efeitos negativos.
🅔 ✅“because of technology advancements, many people cannot tell what information is factual and what isn't.”
CORRETA.
O texto afirma explicitamente:
➡ “Technology spawns misinformation and fake news… it has become harder to define what’s true and what’s not.”

🟩 QUESTÃO 26 "(...), it all depends on how we use it.". 
What does the underlined word in lhe text refer to?
🅐 Whether.
🅑 Technology.
🅒 Lives.
🅓 Effect.
🅔 Aspects.
💡  GABARITO  Ⓑ  
🧊No trecho:
“..., it all depends on how we use it.”
A pergunta é: A que palavra it se refere?
Para descobrir, basta voltar uma frase antes no texto. A estrutura do texto diz algo como:
Technology can have positive or negative effects; it all depends on how we use it.
Ou seja:
O texto está discutindo a tecnologia como algo que pode gerar efeitos bons ou ruins.
Logo, quando diz “how we use it”, esse it retoma technology — a tecnologia em si.
✅ Resposta correta → 🅑 Technology.

🟩 QUESTÃO 27 – Based on the text, mark the alternative that does NOT indicate a positive effect of technology.
🅐 Online classes have made it possible for all students to enroll without leaving their homes.
🅑 Technology has not boosted businesses by improving the products and error-free collection.
🅒 A few of the benefits of online shopping include cheaper products, saved time, fuel, and energy.
🅓 Technology has also had a positive influence on household devices and transportation system.
🅔 Once we get accustomed to using technology properly, it has a positive influence in our lives.
💡  GABARITO  Ⓑ  
🧊A pergunta é:
🔹“Based on the text, mark the alternative that does NOT indicate a positive effect of technology.”
Ou seja, precisamos encontrar a única alternativa que NÃO fala de um benefício.
🅐 Online classes have made it possible for all students to enroll without leaving their homes.
✔ Isso é claramente um efeito positivo: acessibilidade, comodidade, inclusão.
Logo, não é a resposta.
🅑 Technology has not boosted businesses by improving the products and error-free collection.
Aqui temos o único ponto negativo:
“has not boosted businesses”
Ou seja, não melhorou os negócios.
Isso não é um efeito positivo — e por isso é justamente a alternativa pedida.
✔ Essa é a resposta correta.
🅒 A few of the benefits of online shopping include cheaper products, saved time, fuel, and energy.
✔ Lista só benefícios.
Não é a resposta.
🅓 Technology has also had a positive influence on household devices and transportation system.
✔ A própria frase já diz “positive influence”.
Não é a resposta.
🅔 Once we get accustomed to using technology properly, it has a positive influence in our lives.
✔ De novo, “positive influence”.
Não é a resposta.

🟨 Read text III to answer questions 28 and 29. 

Who Is Kamala Harris?
 
Kamala Harris is the vice president of the United States, making her the first female vice president and first Black person and Asian American to hold lhe position. 

After attending Howard University and lhe University of California's Hastings College of the Law, Kamala Harris embarked on a rise through the California legal system, emerging as state attorney general in 2010. 

Following the November 2016 elections, Harris became just the second African American woman and the first South Asian American to win a seat in the U.S. Senate. 

She declared her candidacy for the 2020 U.S. presidential election on Martin Luther King Jr. Day 2019 but dropped out of the race before the end of the year. 

ln August 2020, Joe Biden announced Harris as vice presidential running mate and after a close race, Biden and Harris were elected in November 2020.

🟩 QUESTÃO 28 – According to the text:
🅐 she graduated in law from Oxford College.
🅑 she is the first woman vice president of the US.
🅒 she was a presidential candidate in 2016.
🅓 she was elected vice president in 2010.
🅔 she became the first woman in the U.S. Senate.
💡  GABARITO  Ⓑ  
🧊Vamos analisar cada alternativa com calma e ver por que a correta é realmente a letra B.
🅑 ✅she is the first woman vice president of the US. (Ela é a primeira mulher a ocupar a vice-presidência dos Estados Unidos.)
O texto afirma claramente:
🔹“[...] Kamala Harris is the vice president of the United States, making her the first female vice president...”
🔹(Kamala Harris é a vice-presidente dos Estados Unidos, o que a torna a primeira mulher a ocupar a vice-presidência.)
Portanto, essa está 100% correta.
📍 Agora vamos ver por que as outras estão erradas:
🅐 she graduated in law from Oxford College.
Incorreta.
O texto diz que ela estudou em:
Howard University
University of California's Hastings College of the Law
Nenhuma é Oxford.
🅒 she was a presidential candidate in 2016.
Incorreta.
O texto diz:
“She declared her candidacy for the 2020 U.S. presidential election…”
Não foi em 2016.
🅓 she was elected vice president in 2010.
Completamente fora.
Ela foi eleita em 2020 com Joe Biden, não em 2010.
Em 2010, ela se tornou state attorney general da Califórnia.
🅔 she became the first woman in the U.S. Senate.
Incorreta.
Ela foi:
“the second African American woman”
“and the first South Asian American to win a seat in the U.S. Senate.”
Não foi a primeira mulher.

🟩 QUESTÃO 29  
  • "( ... ) Joe Biden announced Harris as vice presidential running mate".
lt is possible to rewrite the sentences substituting the underlined paris for:
🅐 him / her
🅑 he / she
🅒 she / him
🅓 he / her
🅔 she / he
💡  GABARITO  Ⓓ  
🧊A frase é: “Joe Biden announced Harris as vice presidential running mate.”
Joe Biden é o sujeito → portanto o pronome correto é he.
(Sujeitos usam he/she; objetos usam him/her.)
Harris é o objeto (quem foi anunciada) → portanto o pronome deve ser her.
(Her é objeto feminino.)
Portanto, substituindo:
➡️ He announced her as vice presidential running mate.
✔ Isso corresponde exatamente à alternativa:
(D) he / her
Gabarito confirmado!

🟩 QUESTÃO 30 – Mark lhe sentence which is grammatically correct.
🅐 Luke and I clean the house every weekend.
🅑 Everybody enjoyed very much the party.
🅒 We have always to wait a long time for the bus.
🅓 My parents both are mathematics teachers.
🅔 They're going on Saturday to South Africa.
💡  GABARITO  Ⓐ  
🧊Vamos analisar cada alternativa com calma, mostrando por que só uma delas está correta:
🅐 Luke and I clean the house every weekend. ✔️
— Estrutura perfeita: sujeito composto (“Luke and I”) + verbo no presente simples (“clean”).
— Ordem natural e gramaticalmente correta.
🅑 Everybody enjoyed very much the party. ❌
O advérbio very much não pode ficar no meio dessa forma.
O correto seria: Everybody enjoyed the party very much.
🅒 We have always to wait a long time for the bus. ❌
A posição de always está errada.
O natural seria: We always have to wait…
🅓 My parents both are mathematics teachers. ❌
A posição de both está incorreta.
O correto seria: Both my parents are mathematics teachers.
🅔 They're going on Saturday to South Africa. ❌
A ordem dos advérbios soa estranha.
O mais natural: They’re going to South Africa on Saturday.
👉 Portanto, a alternativa correta é:
🅐 Luke and I clean the house every weekend.

🟩 QUESTÃO 31 
Mark lhe option that ONLY contains uncountable nouns.
🅐 Advice / Children / Behavior
🅑 Luggage / Traffic / Umbrella
🅒 lnformation / Luck / Bread
🅓 Furniture / Weather / Job
🅔 Baggage / Suggestion / Chaos
💡  GABARITO  Ⓒ  
🧊Mark lhe option that ONLY contains uncountable nouns.
🅒 ✅Information / Luck / Bread**
Essas três palavras são sempre incontáveis (uncountable nouns).
✔ information → não tem plural
✔ luck → incontável
✔ bread → incontável (countamos “loaves of bread”, “pieces of bread”)
📍 Pegadinhas das outras alternativas
🅐  Advice / Children / Behavior ❌
— Advice = incontável
— Behavior = incontável
— Children = contável (plural de child) → Pegadinha!
🅑 Luggage / Traffic / Umbrella ❌
— Luggage = incontável
— Traffic = incontável
— Umbrella = contável → Pegadinha clássica: colocam um objeto físico!
🅓 Furniture / Weather / Job ❌
— Furniture = incontável
— Weather = incontável
— Job = contável (“a job”, “two jobs”) → Pegadinha!
🅔 Baggage / Suggestion / Chaos ❌
— Baggage = incontável
— Chaos = incontável
— Suggestion = contável (“a suggestion”) → Armadilha comum!

🟩 QUESTÃO 32 – Which one is the ONLY correct sentence?
🅐 Mark's and Kate's house is so clean.
🅑 My friends' boss is so rude. He hates him.
🅒 Women' clothes are too much expensive.
🅓 John and Mary's wedding were on Sunday.
🅔 Tomorrow's meeting will start at 10 o'clock.
💡  GABARITO  Ⓔ  
🧊 Alternativa correta:
🅔 Tomorrow's meeting will start at 10 o'clock.**
✔ Uso correto do possessivo com tempo (tomorrow’s = “a reunião de amanhã”).
✔ Estrutura correta.
✔ Sem erros gramaticais.
❌ Análise das alternativas incorretas (e a pegadinha de cada uma)
🅐 Mark's and Kate's house is so clean.
❌ O possessivo duplo só se usa quando cada um tem uma casa separada.
Para uma casa compartilhada, o correto seria:
➡️ Mark and Kate’s house…
Pegadinha: colocar 's nos dois nomes.
🅑 My friends' boss is so rude. He hates him.
A primeira parte está correta (friends’ boss = o chefe dos amigos).
❌ O problema está no pronome “him”:
Não sabemos quem odeia quem — falta clareza.
Seria necessário them (para “friends”).
✔ Correto seria: He hates them.
Pegadinha: erro de pronome, não do possessivo.
🅒 Women' clothes are too much expensive.
Dois erros:
❌ Women’ → o possessivo é women’s
❌ “too much expensive” → o correto é too expensive (much não se usa antes de adjetivo)
Pegadinha dupla: possessivo e uso errado de too much.
🅓 John and Mary's wedding were on Sunday.
❌ Wedding é singular, então o verbo deve ser was.
✔ John and Mary’s wedding was on Sunday.
Pegadinha: falsa concordância, achando que “John and Mary” exigem “were”.
🎯 Conclusão
A única frase totalmente correta é mesmo:
👉 🅔 Tomorrow's meeting will start at 10 o'clock.

🟩 QUESTÃO 33 – Read the sentence below.
🔹"A riot occurred in my neighborhood yesterday."
Mark the option which rewrites lhe sentence using there to be.
🅐 There is a riot in my neighborhood.
🅑 There was a riot in my neighborhood.
🅒 There has been a riot in my neighborhood.
🅓 There will be a riot in my neighborhood.
🅔 There were a riot in my neighborhood.
💡  GABARITO  Ⓑ  
🧊Enunciado:

🟩 QUESTÃO 34
Mark the sentence which is grammatically INCORRECT.
🅐Do you usually work out in the morning?
🅑 She got married on 23 July 2016.
🅒 Will you go out on next Saturday?
🅓 Don't worry! I'll be here at the weekend.
🅔 They went on vacation in October.
💡  GABARITO  Ⓒ  
🧊Enunciado:

🟩 QUESTÃO 35
Choose the correct option.
🅐 Margarel isn't very popular. She has little friends.
🅑 My husband is very busy today. He has few free time.
🅒 The bus was very crowded. There were too much people.
🅓 They don't spend many money in expensive clothes.
🅔 Anne is so worried. She has many problems to solve.
💡  GABARITO  Ⓔ  
🧊 A frase original é:
🔹 "A riot occurred in my neighborhood yesterday."
– O verbo occurred está no passado.
– “Yesterday” também indica passado simples.
– “A riot” (singular) exige there + was.
✔ Alternativa correta: 🅑 There was a riot in my neighborhood.
Mantém o sentido de “aconteceu um tumulto…”.
Usa there was = houve / aconteceu (singular, passado).
É a única que mantém tempo verbal + número corretos.
❌ Por que as outras estão erradas?
🅐 There is a riot…
✘ Está no presente, mas o fato ocorreu ontem.
🅒 There has been a riot…
✘ Presente perfeito — indica algo recente, mas sem tempo definido.
“Yesterday” não combina com present perfect.
🅓 There will be a riot…
✘ Futuro — não corresponde ao fato que já ocorreu.
🅔 There were a riot…
✘ Erro de concordância: were é plural, mas a riot é singular.

🟩 QUESTÃO 36
  • Suzy: Have you ever _____ o New York?
  • Jane: No, I _____ been there. Why?
  • Suzy: l'm planning a trip and l'd like some tips about what kind of clothes to take.
  • Jane: Oh really? My friend Josh _____ there for a year. I think he can _____ you.
  • Suzy: That's amazing. 
Choose the best option to complete the dialogue.
🅐 been / have never / has lived / help
🅑 been / never have / have lived / help
🅒 be / have never / has lived / helping
🅓 be / haven't never / have lived / helps
🅔 been / haven't never / has lived / helps
💡  GABARITO  Ⓐ  
🧊 Vamos analisar cada lacuna com calma:
Diálogo:
Suzy: Have you ever _____ to New York?
Jane: No, I _____ been there.
(… ) My friend Josh _____ there for a year.
I think he can _____ you.
✔ Alternativa correta: 🅐 been / have never / has lived / help
Vamos ver por quê:
1️⃣ Have you ever been to New York?
Estrutura correta do Present Perfect com ever:
Have you ever + been + to + lugar
Been é a forma correta quando perguntamos sobre visitas a lugares.
2️⃣ No, I have never been there.
A forma correta é have never (negativa sem repetir not).
“Never” já torna a frase negativa → nunca fui.
3️⃣ My friend Josh has lived there for a year.
Sujeito singular “Josh” → has lived.
For a year é típico de Present Perfect.
4️⃣ I think he can help you.
Modal verb (can) → sempre seguido de verbo no infinitivo sem to.

What is the best country you have travelled to in your lifetime? 

08 comments to the question 

#1 Norway. It has the most beautiful nature in the world. Genuinely nice people and it's so safe I hardly locked my bike in most places. 

#2 Kyrgyzstan. It absolutely blew my mind. It's stunningly beautiful and has an impressive range of landscapes for such a small country. The food was fantastic, the people were just amazing, and the entire experience was incredible. 

#3 Costa Rica, by far. I've been to a lot of countries, but the friendly atmosphere, combined with the beautiful views of Costa Rica are just perfect for me. 

#4 Taiwan gets my vote. I think I could live there. I love it! It's easy to get around. The people are so kind. It's clean and safe. So scenic. Big fan. 

#5 Panama. Amazing landscapes (tropical forests, mountains, beaches), incredible wildlife (some of the best birds I've had the chance to see) and extremely friendly people. And less tourists than its neighbor, Costa Rica, where I've also been to and liked so much. 

#6 Turkey (specifically Istanbul). The food was obscenely tasty and very reasonably priced. The people were friendly (minus the taxi drivers) and the metro was incredibly clean. There's so much history there and so much fun stuff to do. 

#7 Italy, for sure. Northern Italy was the most gorgeous place I've ever seen! Traveling to small towns nestled in the Dolomites, eating some of the best food I've ever had, and driving on incredible mountain roads. Then you go south to see beautiful sandy beaches and some famous cities in Europe! That place has everything. 

#8 Japan. Hands down the safest country I've ever been to. The best food (not just Japanese food), awesome outdoors (especially for a skier like me), everything is super clean, the mix between ancient and modern, and the most hospitable people I've ever met traveling. If I were to move to another country for a couple of years out of the ones I've been to so far (9 countries), I'd definitely move to Japan.

Disability is not an obstacle to success. These inspirational leaders prove that. 
World Economic Forum 
Dec 2, 2016 

Disability need not be an obstacle to success," Stephen Hawking wrote in the first ever world disability report back in 2011. As one of the most influential scientists of modern times, the wheelchair-bound physicist is certainly proof of that. These four leaders show that disability is no barrier to achieving incredible things. 

Frida Kahlo 
Mexico's most famous artist was born with spina bifida, a condition that can cause defects in the spinal cord. At six, she contracted polio, which left one leg much thinner than the other. 

In spite of these challenges, she was an active child, but at 18 a bus accident left her with serious injuries. It was while recovering from the accident that Frida discovered her love of painting. She would go on to be one of the most famous Surrealists in the world. 

Helen Keller 
Born in the US in 1880, an illness left Helen Keller both blind and deaf before her second birthday. While the services available to people with disabilities were less extensive than they are today, Keller's mother sought out experts and ensured her daughter received the best education. 

In 1904, Keller graduated from Radcliffe College, becoming the first deaf-blind person to earn a Bachelor of Arts. It was at university that her career as a writer and social activist started. Today, the Helen Keller archives contain almost 500 speeches and essays on topics as varied as birth control and Fascism in Europe. 

She would go on to achieve international acclaim, becoming America's first Goodwill Ambassador, and to this day she remains an inspiration to the deaf and blind. 

Mark Pollock 
"I went blind at 22. From an athlete, I became a young man with a white cane, unsure how to live my life," Mark Pollock, a Forum Young Global Leader explains. But very soon, he found a deeper purpose in life, and realized his disability didn't have to stop him from achieving great things. 

"I began to race in deserts, mountains, across oceans, and on the 10th anniversary of going blind, I raced over 43 days to the South Pole." 

But in 2010, an accident left him paralyzed, and once again his world changed overnight: "My new life was shattered." 

He had a choice: to let his disability define him for the rest of his life, or to continue fighting. 

There was only ever one way it was going to go. 

"If I just sat in a wheelchair, I would be giving up completely," he remembers. 

Today, he's working with other leaders from science, technology and communications to fund and fast-track a cure for paralysis.

Ralph Braun 
Ralph Braun was still a young boy when he was diagnosed with muscular dystrophy, an incurable group of genetic diseases that leads to a loss of muscle mass. A few years after his diagnosis, Raiph began to lose his ability to walk. 

While doctors warned him he would never be able to lead an independent life, the lively young boy was already proving people wrong, building the first batterypowered scooter. His passion would eventually lead him to establish wheelchair manufacturer BraunAbility. 

He died in 2013, but as his company's website notes, his legacy lives on. 

"Necessity is the mother of invention, and Ralph's physical limitations only served to fuel his determination to live independently and prove to society that people with physical disabilities can participate fully and actively in life."

When we started for our drive the sun was shining brightly on Munich, and the air was full of the joyousness of early summer. 

Just as we were about to depart, Herr Delbruck (the maitred'hotel of the Quatre Saisons, where I was staying) came down bareheaded to the carriage and, after wishing me a pleasant drive, said to the coachman, still holding his hand on the handle of the carriage door, 

"Remember you are back by nightfall. The sky looks bright but there is a shiver in the north wind that says there may be a sudden storm. But I am sure you will not be late." 

Here he smiled and added, "for you know what night it is." Johann answered with an emphatic, "Ja, mein Herr," and, touching his hat, drove off quickly. 

When we had cleared the town, I said, after signalling to him to stop: "Tell me, Johann, what is tonight?" 

He crossed himself, as he answered laconically: "Walpurgis nacht." (...) "Well, Johann, I want to go down this road. I shall not ask you to come unless you like; but tell me why you do not like to go", I asked. 

For answer, he seemed to throw himself off the box, so quickly did he reach the ground. Then he stretched out his hands appealingly to me, and implored me not to go. 

There was just enough of English mixed with the German for me to understand the drift of his talk. He seemed always just about to tell me something - the very idea of which evidently frightened him; but, each time, he pulled himself up, saying, as he crossed himself: "Walpurgis nacht!"

98% of Black Britons said they have compromised selfexpression and identity to fit into the workplace, new findings show. The Black Britons Voices project is a comprehensive survey of over 10,000 Black Britons - the largest research initiative ever to be conducted with Black British communities. The project is a ground-breaking collaboration between @CamSociology, @TheVoiceNewspaper and 1-Cubed consultants. The research reveals a central split on the question of British pride in Black communities, and shows that racial prejudice and insensitivity in UK workplaces remain entrenched, with almost 9 in 10 respondents saying they have experienced racial discrimination at work.

Throughout history, countless remarkable women have made invaluable contributions to the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). 

Their pioneering work has not only advanced human understanding in these disciplines, but also paved the way for future generations of female scientists and engineers, shattering stereotypes and challenging societal norms in the process. 

Over the past decade, we've witnessed a significant increase in the number of women and girls from all backgrounds and races expressing interest in STEM fields. 

This diversity enriches the pool of minds focused on answering some of the most challenging questions of our time. 

The surge in female participation has led to an explosion of new perspectives, ideas, and innovations, contributing significantly to scientific and technological advancement. 

There are now more women scientists, engineers, mathematicians, and technologists than ever before working tirelessly to solve complex problems, making our planet a better and more advanced place to live. 

This shift is not only encouraging but also critical for the future of global innovation. Despite progress in recent years, there is still a significant gender gap within STEM fields. 

According to the National Science Foundation, women in STEM make up only 28% of the workforce in science and engineering occupations. 

This under-representation of women in STEM can be attributed to a number of factors, including unconscious bias and lack of access to opportunities. 

However, it is crucial that we work towards increasing female representation in these fields, not only for the sake of gender equality, but also to ensure diverse perspectives and approaches to problem-solving within the women in STEM community. 

By empowering and supporting women in STEM, we can drive innovation and advancements that benefit society as a whole.

HBO's 'The Last of Us' is a video game adaptation that's actually good 
By Lauren Forristal 
January 13, 2023 

"The Last of Us is HBO's post-apocalyptic thriller based on the popular video game. 

It debuted on Sunday, January 15, 2023, on HBO channels. 

The series has nine episodes in total and follows the plot of the 2013 game in which a fungus outbreak turns half of the world's population into flesh-eating zombies -a.k.a. "clickers." 

Starring "The Mandalorian" actor Pedro Pascal as Joel (a hardened middle-aged survivor tormented by the trauma of his past), and "Game of Thrones" actress Bella Ramsey as Ellie (a feisty, 14 year-old girl), "The Last of Us centers around these two characters who, at first, want nothing to do with each other. 

Joel and his confidant, Tess (played by Anna Torv), are tasked with smuggling Ellie out of the quarantine zone in Boston and across the U.S. As the story progresses, Ellie and Joel's dynamic shifts as they start to depend on each other. 

"The Last of Us" is HBO's first foray into adapting a video game into a series. After so many video game adaptation fails, the show is a relief to many "Last of Us" fans. It was co-written by the game's creator, Neil Druckmann, so there was little room for it to flop in the first place. 

HBO's "The Last of Us" is Druckmann's love letter addressed to the millions of. loyal fans that help keep the decade-long franchise alive. 

On the surface, "The Last of Us" may just seem like another survival story with zombies. However, the НВО series doesn't focus on dramatic, long-winded shootouts and shots of the undead. 

Instead, it focuses on the human relationships between the uninfected as their world turns more uncertain by the minute. 

But what makes this show so great, in our opinion, is the fact that viewers don't need to play the game to understand it. 

Although HBO's "The Last of Us" is very accurate to the timeline of the game and has Easter eggs sprinkled throughout, there are some key differences that help the story speak to a larger audience.

O texto é de um site jornalístico (TechCrunch) e apresenta informações sobre a série The Last of Us, comentando sua qualidade, enredo, elenco, diferenças em relação ao jogo e recepção do público.
Isso caracteriza uma avaliação + análise crítica, típica de review.
Agora vamos alternativa por alternativa:
(A) TV series review. — CORRETA
O texto:
apresenta opinião (“…that’s actually good”, “the show is a relief to many fans”);
contextualiza o enredo;
comenta a fidelidade ao jogo;
explica por que a série funciona mesmo para quem não jogou;
faz juízo crítico (“doesn’t focus on…”, “what makes this show so great…”).
❗Tudo isso configura uma review (uma análise/avaliação crítica).
(B) TV series description.
Pegadinha:  Embora o texto contenha descrição (do enredo, atores, personagens), descrever não é o objetivo principal.
A descrição existe apenas como suporte para a avaliação, que é o foco.
Ou seja, é descritivo, mas não é um texto descritivo.
(C) video game adaptation. 
Pegadinha: Pode confundir porque a série é, de fato, uma adaptação de videogame, mas:
o texto não oferece a adaptação em si,
nem explica como adaptar um jogo,
nem apresenta o produto “adaptação”.
O tema é uma review sobre a adaptação, não a adaptação em si.
(D) video game explanation.
O texto não explica o videogame, sua mecânica, história completa ou funcionamento.

Não há linguagem comercial.
Não há calls to action (“watch now!”).
Não é propaganda da HBO.
