Brazil

Brazil is a leader in entrepreneurship*, with an estimated one in eight adults being “entrepreneurs.” Much of the business that occurs in Brazil is done by single businesspeople either selling their homemade goods or providing their services. Foreign entrepreneurship is a bit of a rarity in Brazil. It is simple for a local businessperson to open a business by, in most cases, circumventing the typical red tape* associated with starting a business. The regulatory boards are so poorly managed and so open to bribes* that local entrepreneurs can easily sneak by without following proper procedure. For foreign businesspeople it is much more difficult. Foreigners draw attention to themselves (by merely being foreigners) and therefore fall prey to greater scrutiny. It is imperative for the foreign businessperson to hire a good “despachante” or broker to handle their interactions with government officials.

The word “despachante” is written in italics in the original text to emphasize its informal status in English, and its function as a slang term rather than a formal title.

The verb form in the clause “Foreigners draw attention to themselves” is incorrect because it should agree with “Foreigners” as a plural noun, and therefore should be “draws.”

In the sentence “Foreign entrepreneurship is a bit of a rarity in Brazil,” the use of the expression “a bit of a” serves to soften the meaning of “rarity,” implying that foreign entrepreneurship is uncommon, though not entirely absent.

This sentence demonstrates a grammatically correct use of the comparative form of the adjective “difficult,” as well as the proper comparative structure involving “than,” being appropriate when contrasting two items. The inclusion of the definite article "the" before "last one" does not alter the correctness of the comparison structure.

In the sentence “You will help keep me on solid ground”, the use of the auxiliary verb “will” correctly indicates that the speaker is referring to a voluntary or predicted action that is expected to occur in the future, thereby conforming to the structure and semantic intention of the Future Simple tense, which typically follows the pattern subject + will + base form of the verb.

Q3788891 Inglês
he meme implicitly promotes a prescriptive view of language by suggesting that teenagers should eliminate the repeated use of “like” in casual speech. From a sociolinguistic standpoint, this reflects an understanding of language variation that values standard forms over vernacular expressions, disregarding the sociocultural role that fillers and discourse markers play in identity construction and group belonging. Consequently, the humor masks an underlying linguistic bias.

In the meme’s humorous complaint about the overuse of “like” in teenage speech, the repeated insertion of the word serves as an example of a discourse marker rather than a literal lexical item. From a pragmatic perspective, discourse markers like “like” may fulfill conversational functions such as hedging, approximating, or signaling hesitation. Therefore, despite the perceived redundancy, their presence is not necessarily grammatically incorrect, but rather reflects informal speech strategies.

Ao considerar os princípios da abordagem comunicativa no ensino de Língua Estrangeira, é correto afirmar que, ainda que as estruturas gramaticais permaneçam relevantes para o desenvolvimento linguístico do aluno, sua apresentação deve ocorrer de forma isolada e sistemática, preferencialmente antes da exploração de contextos reais de uso da língua, pois isso garante que o estudante internalize previamente as regras que serão posteriormente aplicadas em situações comunicativas autênticas.

No ensino de Língua Estrangeira, quando se propõe uma prática pedagógica que valorize simultaneamente a construção da competência linguística e a problematização de temas transversais — como ética, diversidade cultural ou meio ambiente — está-se assumindo uma postura coerente com os princípios da interdisciplinaridade, que entende o conhecimento como algo dinâmico, contextual e socialmente situado, rompendo com uma visão fragmentada do conteúdo.

Text: (Excerpt about sugar consumption and health implications)

        Sugar has never been considered a health food, but lately, the science against it keeps growing stronger. New evidence shows going overboard on the sweet stuff can lead to high cholesterol and blood pressure […] not to mention excess weight gain.

        Problem is most people are eating more sugar now than they ever have. The average person consumes about 20 teaspoons of added sugar a day — 300 calories worth! — which is four times more than the amount recommended by most health experts, including the American Heart Association. Annually, all those teaspoons add up to 170 pounds of sugar.

        So why are we so addicted to sugar? First off, it is literally addicting. When you eat something sweet, you get a surge of dopamine, the chemical in your brain that brings you pleasure. Added sugar is also tough to dodge. Sweetener hides in foods that don’t even taste sugary, like breads, sauces and condiments. What’s more, it’s so hard to decipher the difference between added sugars and the kinds found naturally in whole foods. Eating naturally occurring sugars — like fructose in fruit and lactose in dairy — is generally considered healthy because they contain nutrients with metabolic benefits, such as fiber and antioxidants. Added sugars (sweeteners put into food for flavor) have no such perks. […]
