Question

Yesterday I was playing videogames in my room when I heard people screaming. I went out and

saw: my neighbors’ house was on fire!

In less than 10 minutes the firemen arrived and fought against the fire for one hour until they made

it. Wow! They are really brave! One of them entered the house and saved the Johnson’s dog that

was trapped in the fire.

I made a decision: I want to be a fireman when I grow up. I’ll be strong and brave enough to fight

against the fire, to save people’s lives and property. I can’t wait! I can already see it in the newspaper:

“Brave fireman rescues a family of four”, Mom will be really proud.

1. O texto fala sobre um garoto que observou o trabalho dos bombeiros em um incêndio. O exercício pede para identificar se as afirmações são verdadeiras [true (T)] ou falsas [false (F)]:

• The boy’s house was on fire. (F) É falso, pois o texto diz que o garoto viu fogo na casa de seu vizinho e não na casa dele (my neighbors’ house was on fire).

• The boy thinks the firemen are brave. (T) É verdadeiro, pois o garoto diz que os bombeiros são muito corajosos ("They are really brave")

• He admires the firefighters. (T) É verdadeiro, pois o garoto usa a expressão " Wow!" que, neste caso, significa admiração pelo trabalho, coragem e bravura dos bombeiros.

• It took long the firemen to arrive. (F) É falso, pois não demorou para os bombeiros chegarem. O texto diz que chegaram em menos de 10 minutos ("In less than 10 minutes the firemen arrived ").

• It took one hour to extinguish the fire. (T) É verdadeiro, pois o texto diz que os bombeiros lutaram contra o fogo durante uma hora até conseguirem ("fought against the fire for one hour until they made  it").

• The boy’s neighbors have a pet. (T) É verdadeiro, pois o texto diz que um dos bombeiros entrou na casa e salvou o cachorro dos Johnsons. ("One of them entered the house and saved the Johnson’s dog that  was trapped in the fire").

• A fireman saved the dog’s life. (T) É verdadeiro, pois o texto diz que um deles  salvou o cachorro dos Johnsons que estava preso no fogo. ("saved the Johnson’s dog that  was trapped in the fire").

• The boy wants to be a firefighter when he grows up. (T) É verdadeiro, pois o garoto diz que quer ser um bombeiro quando crescer ("I want to be a fireman when I grow up").

• He wants to be as strong and brave as the firefighters. (T) É verdadeiro, pois o garoto diz que será forte e corajoso para lutar contra o fogo ("I’ll be strong and brave enough to fight  against the fire").
