B- Nomeie os parágrafos de 1 a 4 com os meios de transporte apropriados e em seguida faça uma lista com as principais características de cada um. Car Traveling - Air Transport - Rail Transportation - Water Transportation

• 1-_____________________________ is by far the most effective transport mode.

Notably because of prices, only 12.5% of the tourists travel by plane. It has

revolutionized the geographical aspect of distances; the most remote areas can

now be attained, any journey around the world can be measured in terms of

hours of traveling. With jets that can reach up to 1950 km/hr, international

tourism is no longer an ongoing adventure. Businesspeople are among the

biggest users of airline facilities.

• 2- -_____________________________ is usually an independent mean of

transport. The driver decides where, when and how he is going to get to a

destination. It is the only transportation mode that does not require transfers, in

the sense that the whole journey, from door to door can be achieved without

even stopping. It is the dominant mode in the world tourism (77% of all

Page 4: INGLÊS INSTRUMENTAL (para turismo)

Pag 4

journeys), notably because of advantages such as flexibility, price,

independence, etc. Tourists will often rent vehicles to journey within their

destinations.

• 3- _____________________________ is mainly concentrated towards short

journeys of about a week. Cruising has become a significant tourist industry; big

cruisers are like floating resorts where guests can enjoy luxury and

entertainment while moving towards their multiple destination. The principal

geographic locations of the main cruise lines are the Caribbean, the

Mediterranean and South China/Pacific Ocean. This industry is characterized

by a high level of market concentration with a few companies, such as Carnival

and Princess.

• 4- _____________________________ is also another option, it was the dominant

form of mass public transport before the car age in the developed economies,

and still remains the main travel mode in less developed economies. Even if

trains are very fast, the network is not too flexible, pre-established routes have

to be followed. The railway network usually reflects more the commercial needs

of the national economy then the holiday tourist flow which can make it a

second choice as a traveling mode. The railway systems of several countries,

notably in Europe, have seen massive investments for long-distance routes and

high-speed engines.

ADJECTIVES

Adjetivos são usados para descrever nomes ou pronomes. Eles acrescentam novas idéias a eles. Costumamos dizer que o adjetivo modifica o significado do nome ou

do pronome. Observe os exemplos:

1- menina bonita – beautiful girl 2- uma casa bonita e confortável – a big and comfortable house 3- Nações Unidas – United Nations 4- Fundo Monetário Nacional (FMI) – International Monetary Fund

Regra: Como você pode perceber, em inglês, o adjetivo vem antes do substantivo.

BE CAREFUL

• Adjetivos não têm forma singular ou plural nem masculino ou feminino. Adjetivos se mantém invariáveis. Nunca adicione “S” no final de um adjetivo.

NOT: difficults books

• Adjetivos também podem ser aplicados no final das frases para descrever um substantivo.

Example: My doctor is excellent.

• Não use o adjetivo depois de um substantivo.

NOT: an apple red

The Coldest and the Windiest

Antarctica is the most southern continent in the world. It is like nowhere else on earth. It is

much larger than Europe, and nearly twice the size of Australia. It is an icy plateau with the

South Pole at its center. Antarctica is the coldest and the windiest place in the world, even

colder and windier than the North Pole. In the summer, the sun shines for twenty –four hours a

day, but in the winter it´s completely dark for about three months. Very few plants grow there,

but there is some wildlife, including whales, seals, and penguins. Today, a few scientists work in

Antarctica, but they only spend fairly short periods there. Many scientists in Antarctica are

studying the ozone layer. The ozone layer is getting thinner and thinner worldwide. The

biggest hole is over Antarctica, where the weather is getting warmer. Scientists think that this

cold and lonely place can teach us a lot about the earth and how to keep it safe.

1- Assinale Verdadeiro ou falso:

A Europa é menor que a Antártica.

O Pólo Norte é o lugar mais frio e também o lugar onde há mais ventos no mundo.

Na Antártica, nunca escurece no verão.

Há alguns animais na Antártica, mas poucas plantas.

O clima está ficando cada vez mais frio na Antártica.

READING

I hate my hometown. For one thing, there are too many cars, and there is too much smog,

especially at rush hour. The air pollution is terrible. This problem is particularly bad downtown

in the business district. Too many people drive their cars to work. I think there should be more

police officers at busy intersections. They could stop traffic jams. We also need fewer parking

garages downtown. The city spends too much money building them. It´s easy to park, so too

many people drive to work. On the other hand, the city doesn´t spend much money on public

transportation. There aren´t enough subway lines, and the train system needs a lot of

improvements.

Visiting New York: Tourist tips

A: What should people do to make their visit to New York City safe and pleasant?

B: I think the biggest mistake people make is to try to do too much in a short time. There´s so

much to see and do that you need to have a plan. It´s best to start planning before you get

here. So, you have information about hotels, restaurants, sightseeing and so on. Visitors can

use our website to get the information to start planning before they come here.

A: How safe is New York city to tourists?

B: New York is a much safer place than many people think, but id doesn´t mean that people

have to be careful. Tourists in New York ought to be careful just like in any big city in the world.

For students, I would say to travel in groups. If you get lost, it is easier as a group to find your

way. You really shouldn´t go out on your own, you should find someone to go with you. Another

thing to remember is: don´t be afraid to ask for directions. Even if your English isn´t perfect.

people usually stop to ask for directions, and it is not only foreign people, Americans visitors

also find their way around. You will find New Yorkers very friendly.

A: Is there any other advice you can give visitors?

B: Another thing to remember is not to leave anything valuable in your car if you have one. You

shouldn´t leave suitcases on the backseat. New York is an wonderful city, tourists can see

fantastic musicals, take a walk at central park, enjoy Italian and Chinese food, go shopping at

the fabulous department stores. All I can say is that most people have a great time when they

come to New York.
