SIMPLE PRESENT TENSE
O Simple Present Tense é usado para descrever ações
habituais ou uma verdade em geral. Você não encontrará
dificuldade neste tempo verbal, porque para todas as
pessoas o verbo ficará igual , exceto na terceira pessoa do
singular ( he , she , it ), onde o verbo receberá um “s”.
Exemplos:

Thieves always steal.
Pay Attention:
- Se o verbo terminar em: s, ss, ch, sh , x , z ou o ,
acrescenta-se “es”.
George does his homework every night.

consoante, tira-se o y e acrescenta-se “ies”.

Tarefa Mínima
Text one:
The tree is a beautiful machine that works for the benefit
of man. Most forms of life on Earth need oxigen. We do
not get oxigen from industrial machines. We get it from
the tree machine. The tree machine makes the oxigen that
we need to take from the air.
Industrial machines pollute the air. Trees do not
pollute the air. On the contrary, they clean it. The
industrial machines make a lot of noise. The tree machine
does not make any noise. On the contrary, it filters noise.
The tree machine does not need coal, oil, gas or
electricity to work. Its fuel comes from water, sun light
and carbon dioxide. When a tree dies, it helps new plants.
The combination of water, insects, and micro-organisms
in the soil causes the decomposition of a tree. When a tree
dies, it gives nutrients to the soil for other trees use as
fuel. So, the tree does not die, really. It recycles its
substance for the benefit of all animal and plant life.
Please remember: the tree is your friend. Do not
destroy it.

Michael Schumacher
Michael Schumacher was born in HurtHermuhlheim, Germany, on 3 January 1969. When he
was only four years old he was given a toy kart, and later
a lawnmower engine was fitted to it. Schumacher´s
parents thought he was not safe driving his kart on the
pavements around their home so they arranged for him to
use the local kart track.
At the age of 15, he won his first major
championship – the German Karting championship. When

immediately began winning. At the age of 22, he took part

FAST FOOD
The American fast-food culture dates back to the period after the
Second World War. During the War, the Americans had developed
the production of dehydrated, tinned and powdered food on an
industrial scale; most of this was sent abroad to feed troops at the front.
When the War ended, the USA found itself with a massive
production potential for this type of food but no starving soldiers to eat
it – so the manufacturers began to market it to the general public.
Housewives started baking cakes out of packets and made sure they
kept up their stock of powdered milk.
The present scenario is well known: American fast food and fizzy
drinks like Coca-Cola and Pepsi are being successfully exported to
countries around the world.
