O hábito de buscar referências na língua materna pode ser
uma das principais armadilhas no aprendizado de um novo
idioma. Embora a língua inglesa esteja presente em boa parte do
mundo por meio da Internet, dos livros, dos filmes e das séries,
para muitas pessoas a compreensão do idioma ainda é um bicho
de sete cabeças. Por esse motivo, é comum ouvir queixas durante
as aulas como “não consigo aprender inglês” ou “inglês não é
para mim”.
A diferença da língua materna é o que mais causa
dificuldade para os estudantes lusófonos, principalmente pelo
fato de a principal origem do português ser o latim e a do inglês
ser o anglo-saxão. Essa disparidade causa impactos no som,
na escrita e na estrutura do idioma. Pela mistura do anglo-saxão
com outros idiomas e culturas, o inglês difere-se do português
não apenas na escrita, mas também na pronúncia. Se desprender
do habitual idioma materno e precisar falar palavras de uma outra
forma é uma dificuldade recorrente entre os estudantes.

A ortografia da língua inglesa é mais regular que a do português, o que facilita a leitura do inglês para os lusofalantes, uma vez que as palavras são, em sua maioria, pronunciadas conforme são escritas.

Who votes for the Academy Awards?
After the glitzy red-carpet arrivals, the feel-good
montages, and the host’s opening roast, the Oscars
ceremony switches to its raison d’être: revealing the
previous year’s highest achievers in cinema. One after
another, the presenters list the nominees, open a lavish
envelope, and reveal the winner in each category. The
champions breathlessly accept their awards and, over and
over, effusively thank their mothers, God, and the
academy... What is this obscure body? The academy—that
is, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences—is the
organization that votes for the Oscar winners.
The academy is an exclusive Hollywood institution
that has its own governing body, 17 separate branches, and
a thorough rule book on membership eligibility and voting
processes. Since 2016, when the board announced that it
would diversify its membership, the academy has grown to
about 8,000 members. It doesn’t publicize the names of all
those members, but each spring it releases a list of the
individuals it has invited to join its ranks.
The rest of the academy members are not listed,
but we can guess who a few are by looking at some of the
requirements to join the institution. To qualify, an individual
must work in the film industry. This means that neither
individuals who work exclusively in television nor members
of the press may join. Oscar nominees are often considered
for membership automatically, while other candidates must
be sponsored by two active members of the branch they
wish to join. Each branch also has its own specific
requirements.

Maya Angelou (1928-2014) had a broad and distinguished career both inside and outside the literary realm. She is most famous for her work as a poet, memoirist, and civil rights activist, working with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X. She also worked in entertainment as a singer, a dancer, an actor, and a director. Her poetry was inspired and informed by her life and work, and this personal connection made her poems profound and powerful. Over the course of a career spanning the 1960s to her death in 2014, she captured, provoked, inspired, and ultimately transformed American people and culture.

The text coming next was submitted to study through activities such as reading and interpretation, aiming at featuring
language’s referential function in a practical way, since its author focuses on:
A survey released on Thursday (18) by MapBiomas shows that, in 2022, 77% of the illegal mining areas in the Brazilian Amazon were less than 500 meters away from water streams, such as rivers and lakes. According to satellite images recently revealed, the Amazon had 186,000 hectares of illegal mining areas near water streams, out of a total of 241,000 hectares occupied by illegal miners (known in Brazil as “garimpeiros”) in the region. At the time, the Amazon accounted for 92% of all the area mined in the country. “The proximity of gold mines to watercourses is the DNA of mining activities in the Amazon, especially gold, which is almost always linked to rivers and their alluvial deposits. While deforestation is confined to the area mined, the siltation caused by mining near the edges of rivers and other water streams coupled with the contamination of water by mercury, and more recently by cyanide, reach much larger areas,” said Cesar Diniz, a technical coordinator of mining mapping at MapBiomas. The survey also showed that around 10% of the area mined in the Amazon (25,100 hectares) is located within Indigenous Lands, especially in the Kayapó, Munduruku and Yanomami lands. MapBiomas points out that Indigenous lands are the best-preserved areas in the Amazon: from 1985 to 2022, they lost less than 1% of their native vegetation, compared to 26% recorded in private areas.

Q3128648
Inglês
Every language has, due to several factors, variations in its structure, speech, grammar and pronunciation. That is, in the
same language we may find different ways of speaking, that enrich even more the linguistic content and the dynamism in
communication. Some of these possibilities are related to the linguistic variations that occur in specific regions, namely, there
is a difference in words and phonemes, according to the place where certain language is spoken. For example, does a person
who was born in Rio Grande do Sul speak in the same way as someone who was born in Bahia? Certainly not. Each region
has its own variations of a same language. The same applies to international examples, such as The United States, England,
New Zealand, The Virgin Islands, and South Africa, to quote just a few of the locations where English is mainly spoken, in
different places and regions, different forms develop. This linguistic phenomenon happens in locations with different
cultures, habits, customs and traditions, thus creating other language structures, diverse lexicon, as well as sounds and
accents. The dimmension of linguistic variation described is:

Call Me Libertad
Some of the things we see are apples with worms,
Maggots, expired juices, and other badly spoiled food.
Others are denied basic care, like fever or cold medicine.
The medical department solution?
“Drink a lot of water.”
Every day we wonder who will be deported next.
Every morning we look around for our friends.
We make sure they are still here.
Those who are deported are taken at the wee hours,
Setting that fear among us as if we were kids afraid of the dark.
While we wait behind these walls, all we can do is watch.
Watch all that we've worked for all these years go down in flames.
And our families?
They are scattered, living with relatives.
And our children?
They ask and wonder, “When is Daddy coming home?”
We don't ask for much. Just for liberty and justice for all.
