Then, when my sister Lilian started learning the language, I thought that it was a good idea for me too.<br />Firstly, I went to Welcome school, because Lilian, my sister, encouraged me to study. Secondly, it had a good discount for two people from the same family.<br />Besides, I had that time, a better financial situation and I could pay. My sister gave up, because she didn’t have time, but I didn't. Althought nowadays the technology has been present at English school, I still prefer the contact teacher/student. Nothing replaces this. The teacher, of course, can use the technology but is necessary the language knowledge to teach.<br />There are four years that I have been studying English and I have difficulty in speaking. I think it is possible to improve it by living for some period in a native country. Actually, I think it is necessary.<br />Another difficulty I have is the listening, because it is too fast. I’ve been listening and watching all kinds of music and movies and I understand them well. </div><div align="justify">I have no big problems with listening and reading.<br />To sum up, with the globalization, speaking and understanding English is essential.</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5357594712486919618-4922619481993270997?l=mmacieldealmeidaprodocencia.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Marcelo Maciel de Almeidahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06607618467157844850noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5357594712486919618.post-9306959338800884922009-02-18T09:57:00.001-08:002009-02-18T09:57:57.629-08:00<span xmlns=''><p><strong>FCE FINAL TEST – Reading and Use of English<br /></strong></p><p><strong>Teacher: Marcelo Maciel de Almeida (mmacieldealmeida@yahoo.com; macieldealmeida@hotmail.com)<br /></strong></p><p><strong>Welcome Language Centre<br /></strong></p><p><strong>Name: _________________________________________________________________________<br /></strong></p><p><strong>Grade: ______<br /></strong></p><p><br /> </p><p><br /> </p><p><strong>1) READING – PART I -</strong> You are going to read an article about online safety. For questions 1-8, choose the answer (A, B, C or D) which you think fits best according to the text.<br /></p><p><br /> </p><p><strong>BE WEB WISE</strong><br /> </p><p><strong>Protect your computer, by all means, but don't forget to protect yourself, advises web safety expert, Amanda Knox.</strong><br /> </p><p>We're always being urged to stay safe online. But in an era where the internet is part of our everyday lives - for work, fun, study, shopping, even managing finances - it's not always easy to spot the dangers. Web safety expert, Amanda Knox, explores some of the issues lurking in cyberspace.<br /></p><p>Her first piece of advice is to install software and a firewall to protect your computer from viruses, hackers and criminals who want to steal your data or financial information. "Think of these as your first line of defence," says Amanda. <br /></p><p>So much for protecting yourself against intruders, but what about other problems? Say you've accidentally deleted an important file or you've been at the mercy of a natural disaster. Katy Marsh runs an online photography business from home and when a fire destroyed part of her house it could easily have spelled ruin for her business too. "Luckily I keep a regular back-up of my data so it wasn't a catastrophe." Amanda advises that while back-ups are good to have we must ensure we protect our computers to start with.<br /></p><p>Whilst most of us are aware of the need to protect our computers, it seems we're more lax when it comes to looking out for ourselves, at least according to a recent web awareness survey. Web safety specialists say better personal awareness is needed and this is due in part to the rise of 'Social Networking' sites like 'Bebo', 'MySpace' and 'Facebook', which allow us to connect with people around the world with similar interests and professional backgrounds. Chris Simpson, a computer programmer, learnt the hard way. "I joined a free online networking group in the hope of making some professional contacts to help me find a new job. After a month, one of my online contacts invited me to take out a subscription to a club that promised access to a network of job recruiters. It turned out to be a waste of money. I ended up a laughing stock with my mates - they couldn't believe that someone in my job could get taken in so easily." No wonder then that Amanda warns, "It's easy to get complacent and let our guard down when we meet someone with the same interests online."<br /></p><p>This brings us to other potential pitfalls. Are the people you meet online who they really claim to be? Can you be sure the person you're chatting with is in fact a 22-year-old Maths undergraduate from London and not someone merely masquerading as a student to win your trust? Khaled, a postgrad from Manchester University, quickly realised that it was unwise of him to post his phone number and email address in the public forum of an online academic discussion group. He was soon bombarded with unwanted emails and nuisance phone calls. Yet, it's astonishing how many highly educated people do this without considering the consequences that anyone in the world could use the information to make (unwanted) contact. <br /></p><p>When networking and joining online communities it's better to be cautious about the amount of personal information you share. For example, it isn't always necessary to use your real name as a username when registering for a service. You could instead use a pseudonym, or a name that doesn't give away your real identity to other users. And is it really important to tell the world details about your school, college or any local clubs you're a member of? Sometimes it pays to be a little vague and simply say something like 'I'm studying at college in Madrid at the moment and I'm a member of a local tennis club'. <br /></p><p>If you do experience problems from another user be prepared to report them for misusing the service. You'll be doing other users a favour too. And if all else fails, check to see if it is easy to delete your account and leave the service if you choose to and that you have the option to delete all your details.<br /></p><p>A general rule of thumb is not to post any information about yourself that you would not be happy for the world to know - not just now but in years to come. This includes photographs of yourself, particularly embarrassing shots of you at that party which you may later regret! It's not always easy to remove information after it's been posted so you - not to mention your future employer - may have an unpleasant surprise a few years down the line.<br /></p><p><br /> </p><p><strong>1.

While researchers couldn't identify a particular facial feature that means a woman may be looking for a casual hook-up, they found it was generally those who were more attractive.</div><div><br /></div><div align="justify"><br />It’s no use being coy. If you’re looking for a fling, it might just be written all over your face.</div><div><br /><br /></div><div align="justify">A new study by U.K. researchers found that you can tell just by looking at someone’s face whether they’re interested in casual sex or long-term commitment. And, not surprisingly, women tend to be more attracted to the guys who look like true boyfriend material, while men are drawn to faces that seem to say “one-night stand,” found the study, published Tuesday in the journal Evolution and Human Behavior.<br />Researchers created composite images of college students who identified themselves as either looking for a fling or true love and asked 700 participants to separate the hussies from the prudes. And most of the time, their instincts were accurate – 72 percent of the participants were right more than half the time, although they couldn’t exactly explain their guesses.<br />“They had the gut instinct, but they didn’t understand it,” says Lynda Boothroyd, a psychology professor at Durham University in Durham, England, and lead author of the study.<br />For guys, a face like Clive Owen’s — a square jaw, prominent eyebrows and nose and smaller eyes — tends to belong to the sluttier of the sex. Men with softer features were more likely to be looking for a long-term relationship. (In other words, Matthew Fox really would make a good boyfriend.)<br />As for women, it’s the hotties who are more likely to have flings. Both men and women who participated in the study thought that the more attractive women would be interested in something short-term, and they were right — although Boothroyd and her colleagues couldn’t pinpoint a specific facial detail about the images, just that they were slightly more classically attractive.<br />Boothroyd’s theory sounds a little like common sense: If you’re better-looking, you simply have more opportunities to get some action, especially when you’re 18, she says.<br />It could also be something of a self-fulfilling prophecy, says Caroline Keating, a psychology professor at Colgate University. Keating wasn’t involved in the Durham University study, but she has done her own research involving the psychology of facial features.<br />If you’re more attractive, people might expect you to have more partners. And more often than not, we fulfill those expectations people have of us.<br />“The way we think of ourselves is a reflection in part of how others see us,” Keating says. “So when we go out in the world, we’re looking at ourselves through a reflection of other people’s views.”<br />Because of the effect those expectations have on our behavior, our first impressions about people turn out to be right, says Keating.<br />“Physical appearance cues tell us more about people than we’re even consciously aware of,” Keating says. “So in fact, we do judge a book by its cover. And the funny thing is, it often works for us.” </div><div><br /></div><div align="justify"><strong>GLOSSARY:</strong><br /></div><div align="justify"><strong>- casual hook-up: </strong>casual sex</div><div><strong>- coy:</strong> adjective intentionally secretive: <em>She's very coy about her age.</em></div><div><strong>- cue:</strong> signal</div><div align="justify"><strong>- gut instinct:</strong> feelings or instincts that tell people whether something is right or wrong</div><div align="justify"><strong>- have a fling:</strong> to have a short sexual relationship with someone: <em>She's been having a fling with her boss.</em><br /></div><div align="justify"><strong>- hussy:</strong> a woman or girl who is sexually immoral: <em>"You asked him out?

You also need to know when not to use an article.<br />The bad news is that their proper use is complex, especially when you get into the advanced use of English. Quite often you have to work it out by what sounds right, which can be frustrating for a learner.</div><br /><br /><br /><div align="justify"><strong>Indefinite articles - a and an</strong><a id="AAn" name="AAn"></a><strong> (</strong><a href="http://www.learnenglish.de/grammar/determinertext.htm"><strong>determiners</strong></a><strong>)</strong><br />A and an are the indefinite articles. They refer to something not specifically known to the person you are communicating with.<br />A and an are used before nouns that introduce something or someone you have not mentioned before:-<br />For example:<br />"I saw an elephant this morning." "I ate a banana for lunch."<br />A and an are also used when talking about your profession:-<br />For example:<br />"I am an English teacher." "I am a builder."<br />Note!<br />You use a when the noun you are referring to begins with a consonant (b, c, d, f, g, h, j, k, l, m, n, p, q, r, s, t, v, w, x, y or z), for example, "a city", "a factory", and "a hotel".<br />You use an when the noun you are referring to begins with a vowel (a, e, i, o, u)<br />Pronunciation changes this rule. It's the sound that matters, not the spelling. If the next word begins with a consonant sound when we say it, for example, "university" then we use a. If the next word begins with a vowel sound when we say it, for example "hour" then we use an.<br />We say "university" with a "y" sound at the beginning as though it were spelt "youniversity".So, "a university" IS correct.<br />We say "hour" with a silent h as though it were spelt "our".So, "an hour" IS correct.<br />(Lots of people get this wrong - including native speakers.)<br /></div><br /><br /><div align="justify"><strong>Definite Article - the (</strong><a href="http://www.learnenglish.de/grammar/determinertext.htm"><strong>determiners</strong></a><strong>)</strong><br />You use the when you know that the listener knows or can work out what particular person/thing you are talking about.<br />For example:<br />"The apple you ate was rotten.""Did you lock the car?"<br />You should also use the when you have already mentioned the thing you are talking about.<br />For example:<br />"She's got two children; a girl and a boy. The girl's eight and the boy's fourteen."<br />We use the to talk about geographical points on the globe.<br />For example:<br />the North Pole, the equator<br />We use the to talk about rivers, oceans and seas<br />For example:<br />the Nile, the Pacific, the English channel<br />We also use the before certain nouns when we know there is only one of a particular thing.<br />For example:<br />the rain, the sun, the wind, the world, the earth, the White House etc..<br />However if you want to describe a particular instance of these you should use a/an.<br />For example:<br />"I could hear the wind." / "There's a cold wind blowing."<br />"What are your plans for the future?" / "She has a promising future ahead of her."<br />The is also used to say that a particular person or thing being mentioned is the best, most famous, etc. In this use, 'the' is usually given strong pronunciation:<br />For example:<br />"Harry's Bar is the place to go."<br />"You don't mean you met the Tony Blair, do you?"<br />!Note - The doesn't mean all:-<br />For example:<br />"The books are expensive." = (Not all books are expensive, just the ones I'm talking about.)<br />"Books are expensive." = (All books are expensive.) </div><br /><br /><br /><div align="justify"><strong>No article</strong><a id="NoArticle" name="NoArticle"></a><br /><strong>We usually use no article to talk about things in general:-</strong><br />Inflation is rising.<br />People are worried about rising crime. (Note! People generally, so no article)<br />You do not use an article when talking about sports.<br />For example:<br />My son plays football.<br />Tennis is expensive.<br />You do not use an article before uncountable nouns when talking about them generally.<br />For example:<br />Information is important to any organisation.<br />Coffee is bad for you.<br />You do not use an article before the names of countries except where they indicate multiple areas or contain the words (state(s), kindom, republic, union). Kingdom, state, republic and union are nouns, so they need an article.<br />For example:<br />No article - Italy, Mexico, Bolivia, England<br />Use the - the UK (United Kingdom), the USA (United States of America), the Irish Republic<br />Multiple areas! the Netherlands, the Philippines, the British Isles </div><br /><br /><br /><div align="justify">SOURCE:</div><br /><br /><div align="justify"><a href="http://www.learnenglish.de/grammar/articlestext.htm">http://www.learnenglish.de/grammar/articlestext.htm</a></div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5357594712486919618-2905969798991293106?l=mmacieldealmeidaprodocencia.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Marcelo Maciel de Almeidahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06607618467157844850noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5357594712486919618.post-14693674025284537602009-02-09T10:24:00.000-08:002009-02-09T11:02:18.054-08:00<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Le87uN76GVw/SZB9nF5de-I/AAAAAAAAAgw/tjVVBx0R-CI/s1600-h/cartecameleon%20051.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5300874871966628834" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 251px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Le87uN76GVw/SZB9nF5de-I/AAAAAAAAAgw/tjVVBx0R-CI/s320/cartecameleon%2520051.jpg" border="0" /></a> - spread the cards faced down on the table.<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Le87uN76GVw/SZB8F5_KaRI/AAAAAAAAAgo/e512vxvJpVg/s1600-h/Speed_Bump.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5300873202322008338" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Le87uN76GVw/SZB8F5_KaRI/AAAAAAAAAgo/e512vxvJpVg/s320/Speed_Bump.jpg" border="0" /></a> - speed bumps<br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Le87uN76GVw/SZB7l8OYXNI/AAAAAAAAAgg/glS7304bCfM/s1600-h/frantic_businessman.gif"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5300872653166894290" style="WIDTH: 259px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Le87uN76GVw/SZB7l8OYXNI/AAAAAAAAAgg/glS7304bCfM/s320/frantic_businessman.gif" border="0" /></a> - a frantic businessman</div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Le87uN76GVw/SZB6cj04w7I/AAAAAAAAAgY/OcrlBco3RVU/s1600-h/shut+the+door.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5300871392487064498" style="WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Le87uN76GVw/SZB6cj04w7I/AAAAAAAAAgY/OcrlBco3RVU/s320/shut+the+door.jpg" border="0" /></a> - Before leaving home, don't forget to shut the door<br /></div><br /><br /><div><br /></div><br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Le87uN76GVw/SZB5-p0XunI/AAAAAAAAAgQ/9k3-WTtBl-4/s1600-h/delighted.bmp"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5300870878699436658" style="WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Le87uN76GVw/SZB5-p0XunI/AAAAAAAAAgQ/9k3-WTtBl-4/s320/delighted.bmp" border="0" /></a> - After eating the pudding, the child looked delighted.</div><br /><br /><div><br /></div><br /><br /><div align="justify"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Le87uN76GVw/SZB40hDNYvI/AAAAAAAAAgI/R6Ap7nR4vMI/s1600-h/Amityville%20HOUSE.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5300869605035434738" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 266px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Le87uN76GVw/SZB40hDNYvI/AAAAAAAAAgI/R6Ap7nR4vMI/s320/Amityville%2520HOUSE.jpg" border="0" /></a> - One advantage of living in a big house is the space you have. <span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>On the other hand,</strong> </span><span style="color:#000000;">there is a lot of housework to be done. </span></div><br /><div align="justify"> </div><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Le87uN76GVw/SZB3cx0_9ZI/AAAAAAAAAgA/fFVovRFEMqQ/s1600-h/worth.bmp"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5300868097710749074" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Le87uN76GVw/SZB3cx0_9ZI/AAAAAAAAAgA/fFVovRFEMqQ/s320/worth.bmp" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Le87uN76GVw/SZB2ktuJjvI/AAAAAAAAAf4/QyYEMbRFvOk/s1600-h/e-macdonalds.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5300867134535601906" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Le87uN76GVw/SZB2ktuJjvI/AAAAAAAAAf4/QyYEMbRFvOk/s320/e-macdonalds.jpg" border="0" /></a> - Hamburgers at MacDonalds aren't a proper meal for you.
