Entendendo o exercício
Para fazer essas questões, é preciso ter um pouco de conhecimento geral e interpretar o material de onde elas foram retiradas.
Conhecimento geral é o que sabemos sobre o mundo em diversas áreas: ciências, música, esporte, política, filmes etc. Na questão, vemos que nos são apresentados dois músicos, um cientista e um esportista. Todos muito famosos.
Se você não conhece nenhum, pesquise sobre eles na internet, para adquirir essas informações. Ler livros, jornais, ver TV, assistir documentários também são ações que ajudam a conhecermos mais sobre o mundo.
A primeira questão pede que você:
- Escreva em inglês o que sabe sobre as pessoas da foto;
- Diga porque eles são famosos;
- E identifique o que eles têm em comum.
A segunda já fornece as informações sobre cada pessoa das imagens, e pede que você associe a pessoa certa à informação correspondente.
