Choose the alternative that presents the four correct ones.
The strategy used for Reading Comprehension,
that consists of quickly running one’s eyes across the
whole text, is called:
Study these sentences and decide if they are true ( T ) or false ( F ).
( ) The words in bold in the text can be classified, respectively, as: “them” object pronoun; “Our” possessive adjective; “we” subject pronoun.
( ) The affirmative form of the following sentence: “But it hasn’t become popular.”, is “But it has became popular.”
( ) The infinitive forms of the following verbs: ‘spoke’, ‘brought’ and ‘spread’, are: ‘speak’, ‘bring’, and ‘spread’.
( ) In the sentence: “But maybe the popularity of English won’t last that long either.” , the underlined word is being used in the simple future.
Choose the alternative which presents the correct
sequence, from top to bottom.
1. In the following sentence:”…. English is a fairly complicated language to learn and it brings its culture with it. “ the underlined words are classified as an adverb and an adjective. 2. “It’s important to have a language that the people of the earth have in common.” The negative form of the sentence is:” It’s important to don’t have a language that the people of the earth have in common.” 3. “Our world has become very global.” The bold words in the previous sentence are an example of the present perfect tense. 4. “There are more people who speak English as a second language than people who speak English as a first language..” The relative pronoun in bold can be replaced by that without changing its meaning.
Choose the alternative which presents the correct ones:
In the sentence “The taxi, an old Rover smelling of old cigarette smoke, trundled along the empty, country road at an unhurried pace”, the words “empty” and “country” are used as
Team Composition
In a large organization, it is often the case that different roles emerge. In Tayloristic teams, these different roles are grouped together as a number of role-based teams each of which contains members of the same role. In contrast, agile teams use cross-functional teams. Such a team draws together individuals performing all defined roles. Rotations from one role to another are common. It is also possible to have highly specialized experts (for example, security analysts and usability engineers) shared among several teams in an organization.
One advantage to role-based teams is that teams whose work products are independent of each other can work in parallel as long as there is not much knowledge flow among the different functional sub-team. However, in knowledgeintensive software development that demands information flow from different functional sub teams, role-based teams tend to lead to islands of knowledge and difficulty in its sharing among all the teams. As hand-offs between teams usually are based on document flow, the knowledge of one team that is required by the other team must be externalized and documented. Although reviews try to minimize the knowledge loss, externalization and documentation processes cannot guarantee that all knowledge is captured and even if most of it was rigorously captured, there is still no guarantee or way to check its correctness till the project sign-off.
Cross-functional teams should be used to facilitate better knowledge transfer. This is especially the case for agile methods since they are recommended to be used where there is a lot of uncertainty and unknown knowledge about the domain and system requirements, and the technologies to be used are new and unexplored.

TEXTO I
English for Specific Purposes
English for specific purposes (ESP) refers to language research and instruction that focuses on the specific communicative needs and practices of particular social groups. Emerging out of Halliday, Macintosh, and Strevens’ (1964) groundbreaking work nearly 40 years ago, ESP started life as a branch of English language teaching, promising a stronger descriptive foundation for pedagogic materials. In the years since, ESP has consistently been at the cutting-edge of both theory development and innovative practice in applied linguistics, making a significant contribution to our understanding of the varied ways language is used in particular communities. Drawing on a range of interdisciplinary influences for its research methods, theory, and practices, ESP has consistently provided grounded insights into the structures and meanings of texts, the demands placed by academic or workplace contexts on communicative behaviors, and the pedagogic practices by which these behaviors can be developed.
