I.When reporting a statement made in the Present Simple, the verb usually shifts to the Past Simple if the reporting verb is in the past.

II.The Modal Verb 'must' always remains 'must' in Reported Speech, as it is impossible to express obligation in a reported past context.

When the Classroom Goes Online

Over the past decade, the English classroom has changed more than it had in the previous hundred years. Mobile phones, social networks, artificial intelligence tools and online platforms are now part of students’ daily lives, and the teaching of English can no longer ignore this reality.

However, the use of technology in language education is not a matter of simply replacing books with screens. What truly matters is how these resources are used. A video, a message exchange, a podcast or an online discussion only become educational when they are integrated into meaningful learning situations, connected to students’ experiences and guided by clear pedagogical objectives.

Teachers who understand this shift no longer see themselves as the only source of knowledge. Instead, they act as mediators who help learners build meaning, develop autonomy and reflect on language use in real communicative contexts. This perspective is strongly supported by the principles of the Brazilian National Common Core (BNCC), which emphasizes the social and functional use of language.

In this sense, learning English is not just about memorizing structures or rules. It involves interpreting texts, negotiating meaning, expressing identity and participating in global conversations. When the classroom goes online, it does not lose its educational role — it expands it.

Scientists criticize food manufacturers for massive profits from sales of unhealthy ultraprocessed food 


    Certain ultraprocessed foods, or UPFs, are contributing to worldwide obesity, chronic health conditions and premature death, yet the food industry continues to aggressively market new and existing products in this category for massive profits, according to an unprecedented three-part series authored by 43 global experts in nutrition and supported by the United Nations Children’s Fund, or UNICEF, and the World Health Organization.

    More than 50% of the $2.9 trillion paid to shareholders by food corporations between 1962 and 2021 “was distributed by UPF manufacturers alone,” according to research published Tuesday in the leading medical journal The Lancet.

    “We found evidence that UPF consumption is increasing everywhere around the world, fueled by powerful global corporations,” said coauthor Carlos Augusto Monteiro, professor emeritus of nutrition and public health in the School of Public Health at Brazil’s University of São Paulo.

    “To keep this business model, which is highly profitable, the industry cannot afford to make minimally processed foods as they did in the past, so they use extensive political lobbying to stop effective public health policies that support healthy eating,” said Monteiro, who coined the term “ultraprocessed food” in 2009 when he developed the NOVA classification system, which categorizes foods into four groups by their level of industrial processing.

    Companies can “double or triple their profits” by turning corn, wheat, beans and other whole foods “into a colorless and flavorless sawdust which is then reconstructed with artificial flavorings and additives,” said Barry Popkin, the W.R. Kenan Jr. Distinguished Professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill’s Gillings School of Global Public Health.

Q3893487 Inglês
 O Discurso Indireto (*Reported Speech* ou *Indirect Speech*) é a estrutura usada para relatar o que outra pessoa disse, sem citar suas palavras exatas. Esse processo geralmente envolve mudanças nos tempos verbais (chamado *backshift*), nos pronomes e nos advérbios de tempo e lugar, para adequar a fala relatada ao novo contexto temporal e espacial do narrador.

Acerca das regras de transformação do discurso direto para o indireto, marque V, para as afirmativas verdadeiras, e F, para as falsas:

(__)Ao relatar uma fala, o *Simple Present* do discurso direto ("I *work* here") geralmente muda para o *Simple Past* no indireto ("He said he *worked* there").
(__)O *Simple Past* do discurso direto ("I *saw* the movie") geralmente muda para o *Past Perfect* no indireto ("She said she *had seen* the movie").
(__)Advérbios de tempo e lugar também mudam para refletir a perspectiva do narrador, como "now" mudando para "then" e "here" mudando para "there".
(__)Não é necessário fazer qualquer alteração no tempo verbal se o verbo principal de relato (*reporting verb*) estiver no presente (e.g., "She *says*...").

Após análise, assinale a alternativa que apresenta a sequência correta dos itens acima, de cima para baixo:
