AULA 6: Produção Escrita:

Summarising & Note-taking

Atenção! Você deve incorporar estas atividades ao PORTFÓLIO da disciplina de Inglês.

ATIVIDADE 1

1. Leia, abaixo, o trecho de um texto e, em seguida, resuma, em uma sentença, a ideia central do texto.

History of engineering The history of engineering can be roughly divided into four overlapping phases, each marked by a revolution: l  Pre-scientific revolution: The prehistory of modern engineering features ancient master builders and Renaissance engineers such as Leonardo da Vinci. l  Industrial revolution: From the XVIII through early XIX century, civil and mechanical engineers changed from practical artists to scientific professionals. l  Second industrial revolution: In the century before World War II, chemical, electrical, and other science-based engineering branches developed electricity, telecommunications, cars, airplanes, and mass production. l  Information revolution: As engineering science matured after the war, microelectronics, computers, and telecommunications jointly produced information technology.

Resposta: Podemos destacar que a evolução e desenvolvimento da engenharia está de certa forma intrinsecamente ligada a algumas revoluções e revoltas.

ATIVIDADE 2

1. Leia, na coluna esquerda, as divisões de um abstract (resumo de artigo acadêmico) e, na coluna direita, indique qual divisão do abstract corresponde cada trecho.

Text: How urban societies can adapt to resource shortage and climate change
Partes do texto	Indicar qual é divisão correta de cada parte do resumo
With more than half the world’s population now living in urban areas and with much of the world still urbanizing, there are concerns that urbanization is a key driver of unsustainable resource demands. Urbanization also appears to contribute to ever-growing levels of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Meanwhile, in much of Africa and Asia and many nations in Latin America and the Caribbean, urbanization has long outstripped local governments’ capacities or willingness to act as can be seen in the high proportion of the urban population living in poor quality, overcrowded, illegal housing lacking provision for water, sanitation, drainage, healthcare and schools. But there is good evidence that urban areas can combine high living standards with relatively low GHG emissions and lower resource demands.	(X ) Contextualização (   ) Objetivo (   ) Metodologia (   ) Resultado(s) (   ) Conclusão
This paper draws on some examples of this and considers what these imply for urban policies in a resource-constrained world.	(   ) Contextualização (   ) Objetivo (X ) Metodologia (   ) Resultado(s) (   ) Conclusão
These examples suggest that cities can allow high living standards to be combined with levels of GHG emissions that are much lower than those that are common in affluent cities today.	(   ) Contextualização (   ) Objetivo (   ) Metodologia (X ) Resultado(s) (   ) Conclusão
This can be achieved not with an over-extended optimism on what new technologies can bring but mostly by a wider application of what already has been shown to work.	(   ) Contextualização (   ) Objetivo (   ) Metodologia (   ) Resultado(s) ( X ) Conclusão
