Hierarquia

Diz que um leão enorme ia andando, chateado, não muito rei dos animais, porque tinha acabado de brigar com a mulher e esta lhe dissera poucas e boas1. Ainda com as palavras da mulher o aborrecendo, o leão subitamente se defrontou com um pequeno rato, o ratinho mais menos que ele já tinha visto. Pisou-lhe a cauda e, enquanto o rato forçava inutilmente para fugir, o leão gritou: “Miserável criatura, estúpida, ínfima, vil, torpe: não conheço na criação nada mais insignificante e nojento. Vou te deixar com vida apenas para que você possa sofrer toda a humilhação do que lhe disse, você, desgraçado, inferior, mesquinho, rato!” E soltou-o. O rato correu o mais que pôde, mas, quando já estava a salvo, gritou pro leão: “Será que Vossa Excelência poderia escrever isso pra mim? Vou me encontrar agora mesmo com uma lesma que eu conheço e quero repetir isso pra ela com as mesmas palavras!”2

Moral: afinal ninguém é tão inferior assim.

Submoral: nem tão superior, por falar nisso.

1 Quer dizer: muitas e más. 2 Na grande hora psicanalítica, que soa para todos nós, a precisão da linguagem é fundamental. (FERNANDES, Millôr. Fábulas Fabulosas. 11ed. Rio de Janeiro: Nórdica, 1985, p. 112.)

Como ensinar


Se eu fosse ensinar a uma criança a arte da jardinagem, não começaria com as lições das pás, enxadas e tesouras de podar. Eu a levaria a passear por parques e jardins, mostraria flores e árvores, falaria sobre suas maravilhosas simetrias e perfumes; a levaria a uma livraria para que ela visse, nos livros de arte, jardins de outras partes do mundo. Aí, seduzida pela beleza dos jardins, ela me pediria para ensinar-lhe as lições das pás, enxadas e tesouras de podar. Se fosse ensinar a uma criança a beleza da música, não começaria com partituras, notas e pautas. Ouviríamos juntos as melodias mais gostosas e lhe falaria sobre os instrumentos que fazem a música. Aí, encantada com a beleza da música, ela mesma me pediria que lhe ensinasse o mistério daquelas bolinhas pretas escritas sobre cinco linhas. Porque as bolinhas pretas e as cinco linhas são apenas ferramentas para a produção da beleza musical. A experiência da beleza tem de vir antes. Se fosse ensinar a uma criança a arte da leitura, não começaria com as letras e as sílabas. Simplesmente leria as estórias mais fascinantes que a fariam entrar no mundo encantado da fantasia. Aí então, com inveja dos meus poderes mágicos, ela desejaria que eu lhe ensinasse o segredo que transforma letras e sílabas em estórias. É muito simples. O mundo de cada pessoa é muito pequeno. Os livros são a porta para um mundo grande. Pela leitura vivemos experiências que não foram nossas e então elas passam a ser nossas. Lemos a estória de um grande amor e experimentamos as alegrias e dores de um grande amor. Lemos estórias de batalhas e nos tornamos guerreiros de espada na mão, sem os perigos das batalhas de verdade. Viajamos para o passado e nos tornamos contemporâneos dos dinossauros. Viajamos para o futuro e nos transportamos para mundos que não existem ainda. Lemos as biografias de pessoas extraordinárias que lutaram por causas bonitas e nos tornamos seus companheiros de lutas. Lendo, fazemos turismo sem sair do lugar. E isso é muito bom.

Q3642617 Inglês
Saving What’s Precious

The World Monuments Fund is an organization _____________works to preserve important historical and architectural sites ____________ the world. Every two years, the WMF releases a list of sites ______________ particular danger of becoming ruins, and in 2014, it chose 67 sites in 41 countries. As this is a problem I feel strongly about, I decided to find______________ more about some of these places ___________ my blog.

My first discovery was the Fort of Graca, in Elvas, Portugal. Built in the 18th century, this superb military building played an important role in several wars. However, the building’s strategic importance declined over the years and signs of decay are now appearing. Today, the WMF supports the continued maintenance of the fort, and plans to reuse it as a tourism center.

My research then led me to the Sankore Mosque in Timbuktu, Mali, West Africa. Built in the 14th century, the mosque was integral to the city’s importance as a spiritual and intellectual center in the 15th and 16th centuries. Today, the mosque is vulnerable to fighting and rapid urbanization in the region. The WMF hopes to draw attention to this, and to protect this precious monument.

My online journey then took me to the Christ Church Cathedral in Zanzibar, Tanzania, East Africa. Completed in 1879, the Cathedral’s exquisite design makes its history difficult to take in: it lies on the site of what was, until 1873, a major slave market. The Cathedral is now both a place of worship and a memorial to the slaves who suffered there. Recently, large cracks appeared in the Cathedral’s walls. However, with the help of the WMF, they are now repaired.

A very special site on my list was the Damiya Dolmen Field in Jordan, home to 300 stone tombs which date back to 3600 BC. The Damiya Field is in danger of collapse due to mining in the area. However, thanks to pressure from the WMF, the Jordanian government is taking steps to protect it.

Lastly, I found out about the 19th century Alhambra Palace in Santiago, Chile. It replicates parts of the 13th century Alhambra palace in Spain, and, until a major earthquake hit the country in 2010, existed as a cultural institution supporting artists. The effects of the earthquake, together with old age and weather, made the building unsafe and it is currently closed. The WMF hopes that its involvement with the palace can help it to open to the public once again.

( ) The gap between the syllabus contents and the students’ experience evidently accounts for the lack of interest and even for the dropout levels that we presently find in Brazilian’s schools.
( ) Learning Foreign Languages at the average school have been entirely based on the study of grammatical rules and its memorization, as well as its priority focus on written language without any contextual link with the students’ reality.

Saving What’s Precious

The World Monuments Fund is an organization _____________works to preserve important historical and architectural sites ____________ the world. Every two years, the WMF releases a list of sites ______________ particular danger of becoming ruins, and in 2014, it chose 67 sites in 41 countries. As this is a problem I feel strongly about, I decided to find______________ more about some of these places ___________ my blog.

My first discovery was the Fort of Graca, in Elvas, Portugal. Built in the 18th century, this superb military building played an important role in several wars. However, the building’s strategic importance declined over the years and signs of decay are now appearing. Today, the WMF supports the continued maintenance of the fort, and plans to reuse it as a tourism center.

My research then led me to the Sankore Mosque in Timbuktu, Mali, West Africa. Built in the 14th century, the mosque was integral to the city’s importance as a spiritual and intellectual center in the 15th and 16th centuries. Today, the mosque is vulnerable to fighting and rapid urbanization in the region. The WMF hopes to draw attention to this, and to protect this precious monument.

My online journey then took me to the Christ Church Cathedral in Zanzibar, Tanzania, East Africa. Completed in 1879, the Cathedral’s exquisite design makes its history difficult to take in: it lies on the site of what was, until 1873, a major slave market. The Cathedral is now both a place of worship and a memorial to the slaves who suffered there. Recently, large cracks appeared in the Cathedral’s walls. However, with the help of the WMF, they are now repaired.

A very special site on my list was the Damiya Dolmen Field in Jordan, home to 300 stone tombs which date back to 3600 BC. The Damiya Field is in danger of collapse due to mining in the area. However, thanks to pressure from the WMF, the Jordanian government is taking steps to protect it.

Lastly, I found out about the 19th century Alhambra Palace in Santiago, Chile. It replicates parts of the 13th century Alhambra palace in Spain, and, until a major earthquake hit the country in 2010, existed as a cultural institution supporting artists. The effects of the earthquake, together with old age and weather, made the building unsafe and it is currently closed. The WMF hopes that its involvement with the palace can help it to open to the public once again.
