Smatphones are banned in Brazilian Schools
Brazil’s president has signed a law to limit smartphone use in schools, starting in February. This rule will apply to elementary and high schools across the country. Phones will only be allowed in emergencies, for educational activities, or for students with disabilities. The goal is to help students focus better and reduce distractions caused by phones.
Officials explained that children are using the internet at younger ages, which makes it harder for parents to monitor them. Limiting smartphones at school can help students concentrate on studying. A recent survey found that nearly two-thirds of Brazilians support banning smartphones in schools, and over threequarters believe these devices are harmful for kids.
Some families and students agree with the move, saying it will encourage more interaction and help classmates focus better. However, others believe it won’t solve all school issues, like bullying and harassment.
As of 2023, about two-thirds of Brazilian schools already limit smartphone use, while 28% ban them completely. Some states, such as Rio de Janeiro and Goias, have passed local laws restricting phones in schools, but enforcement has been challenging. In Sao Paulo, discussions are ongoing about banning phones in both public and private schools.
Globally, concerns ______________ smartphone use ______________ children have led to similar measures. Countries ______________ China, France, and parts of the U.S. have introduced restrictions to reduce distractions and protect children’s mental health. A report ______________ UNESCO found that one in four countries has already limited smartphone use in schools.

Gabarito comentado – Compreensão de texto (Reading Comprehension)
Tema central: A questão avalia a capacidade de interpretar informações explícitas e implícitas em um texto em inglês, habilidade essencial no cargo de Professor de Inglês e frequentemente cobrada em concursos públicos. A habilidade-chave aqui é identificar se as sentenças estão de acordo com o texto e justificar a resposta baseando-se nas informações fornecidas pelo autor.
Análise detalhada das sentenças:
1) "Brazil created the new smartphone rule to encourage parents to buy smartphones."
- Isso não aparece em nenhum trecho do texto. O objetivo da lei, conforme explicitado, é reduzir distrações e ajudar alunos a focar, não incentivar a compra de aparelhos. Falsa (F).
2) "Two-thirds of Brazilians support banning smartphones in schools."
- O texto aponta que “a recent survey found that nearly two-thirds of Brazilians support banning smartphones in schools”. Ou seja, o dado é apresentado claramente. Verdadeira (T).
3) "Schools around the world have no rules about phones."
- O texto oferece exemplos contrários: “Countries such as China, France, and parts of the U.S. have introduced restrictions”. É um caso clássico de generalização indevida. Falsa (F).
4) "Some students agree that limiting phones will help them focus."
- A frase: “Some families and students agree with the move, saying it will help classmates focus better” comprova a veracidade. Verdadeira (T).
Estratégia de resolução:
Mantenha-se atento a palavras-chave, expressões generalizantes (“all”, “no one”, “always”), e relacione cada afirmativa ao texto-base. Frases que exageram ou alteram o sentido original costumam ser falsas.
Alternativas:
Somente a sequência F • T • F • T está de acordo com o texto, assim, a alternativa C é a correta.
Análise das alternativas incorretas:
- Sequências que marcam “T” para a afirmação 1 ou 3 demonstram erro de compreensão ou falta de atenção a detalhes explícitos do texto.
- Marque “F” sempre que a justificativa da sentença não estiver fundamentada no conteúdo textual.
Dica extra: Sempre confira se a afirmativa corresponde exatamente ao que o texto diz – cuidado com inferências pessoais e armadilhas de tradução literal!
Gabarito: C (F • T • F • T)
