JOBS AND PROFESSIONS - Inglês para iniciantes.

 

Fonte: http://www.markstivers.com/cartoons/main%202002.html]

 
Hello dear students!

Hoje falaremos sobre PROFISSÕES. Para fazer perguntas sobre JOBS  você pode usar o verbo auxiliar DO, veja os exemplos abaixo:

DO you have a job?  - Você tem uma profissão?

What DO you do?  - O que você faz?

Bom, o auxiliar DO sofre uma pequena alteração quando estamos perguntando sobre uma terceira pessoa: ele ou ela. Vejamos outros exemplos:

DOES she have a job?  - Ela tem uma profissão?

What DOES he do? - O que ele faz?

Very easy, isn't it?! 

Ok, para dizer qual é a sua profissão ou qual é a profissão de uma terceira pessoa (your mom or dad for example) você deve usar o verbo to be ( ser ou estar), veja os exemplos abaixo:

I am a teacher. -   Eu sou uma professora.

She is a nurse.  -  Ela é uma enfermeira.

He is a policeman. - Ele é um policial.

My mom is a waitress. - Minha mãe é uma garçonete.

My mom and my dad are photographers. -  Meu pai e minha mãe são fotógrafos.

LET'S LEARN!

Agora vamos conhecer alguns substantivos sobre profissões em inglês. Enjoy this video!

Com este segundo vídeo você poderá praticar o uso de frases sobre profissões com o verbo to be:

I LOVE CINEMA AND LITERATURE

BLINDNESS

The book was written by José Saramago, a Portuguese writer. The story is about an inexplicable blindness epidemic. At the beginning of the story, a character scream “ I am blind” and the blindness spreads to everyone in that town, which the writer gives no name to. Authorities do not know what to do, so they decided to leave all the sick people in an abandoned bughouse. Over there people fight for survival, and they act like selfish animals. Also, there is a character who is not blind; she is the wife of a man who first became sick. The woman doesn’t know whether she is blessed or cursed by being able to see in the land of the blind because she is the only one who can see the most beautiful and scariest scenes of the place. The book lets us explore our real conscience.

Vocabulary:

Written by = escrito por

Blindness = cegueira

Blind = cego

Spread to =  espalhar por

Sick = doente

Bughouse = manicômio

Survival = sobrevivência

HAVE YOU EVER FALLEN IN LOVE?

Has someone ever made you lose your concentration?

Have you ever sent someone a “love message”?

Have you ever taken someone home safety?

Have you ever been attached by someone’s magnetic personality?

Let's read some wise messages of love!

Love is never a relationship. It is an ongoing phenomenon. Lovers end, love continues – it is a continuum. It is a verb, not a noun.

(Osho)

All major religious traditions carry basically the same message, that is love, compassion and forgiveness the important thing is they should be part of our daily lives.
(Dalai Lama)

If you judge people, you have no time to love them

(Mother Teresa of Calcutta)

People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.
(Nelson Mandela)

WORLD CAR FREE DAY!

WORDS: THE BEST GIRLS TO PLAY WITH II

Os poemas que seguem foram produzidos por alunos do 3º ano "High School" da Escola de Educação Básica Arnaldo Moreira Douat. As atividades foram propostas pela "trainee teacher" Débora Raquel Wank. Depois de assistirmos alguns vídeos, analisarmos algumas imagens e discutirmos o assunto, os alunos responderam em forma de poema aquela pergunta do "Student's Day".


WHAT IS IT BEING A STUDENT TODAY?

The new generation

The new generation

Doesn’t have education

Because

There is no reflexion

Only competition

The children are jackass

Because they watch much TV

They sit down their ass

To the bullshits see

(Rafael R.C., Evander P.M., Erick B.)

In the past the students paid atention

With scary of oppression

They were attacked by the teachers

And did the lesson

But what they really wanted

Was revolution

In the new generation

Books and teachers

Were changed for telecomunication

(Alisson Z., Carine O., Mayara C.)

Don't hold on

The teacher voice is here inside
of my mind
Stop the control and oposition
I need to go out
The born of a new education
Don't hold on
How long?
Just give up the shout
Look at many tears
Tonight many stars
The sky was blue
but it was just so far
It was just so far
Please help my family and friends
Don't hold on
The song can't stop this moment
Don't hold on
Bye bye I'm going to another world
Don't hold on
I didn't care anything
How long?

(Eduardo R., Jessica A., Thuane I.)

Education

In the old days the students were weary
Today the students are happy
In the old days the students couldn't talk
Today the students feel easier
In the old days the students read many books
Today the students read web pages
In the old days the teacher was the only who taught
Today the students teach too
(Jéssica M., Ana Paula D.) 

Education

The education is not the best
But the only one who has the vocation
Of knowing what today is education
It  was before an opression
Today is entertainment
In the past there weren't reflexion
Today neither action

( Amanda C., Maria C.)

Education Revolution

The education is our priority
Because only with it
We reach the prosperity
The education without opression
The equilibrated education
Of having respect from both parts

One life, a revolution
Save the freedom of expression
Stop the feel of fear
Let's transform it in respect
Rise your hands for revolution
Save the freedom of expression

The education did not stay break in time
It evoluted and adopted the democracy
Where the teacher and the students
Give their opinions
But due to that revolution
The respect has been lost
And has ocurred the marginalization of education

(Paulo R., Jonathan S., Wellington)

$ MONEY $

"New car, caviar, four star daydream
Think I'll buy me a football team"

(Pink Floyd)

Hello Students!

Today's lesson is about money.  Do you like it? Where does the money come from? Trees?

You probably have heard that "Money doesn't grow on trees",  we need to work hard to get enough money to have a confortable life, and in some countries as in Brazil (unfortunately) most people need to work hard and all the time to meet basic needs such as food and shelter. 

Money can buy you many things: book, cars, houses, airplanes, football teams, people (yes), trips (all kinds), ships, etc. 

But money can't buy you LOVE ... No matter, because "The best things in life are for free".

There are different words for money, one of them is cash.

MONEY - Etymology

According to wikipedia, the word "money" is believed to originate from a temple of Hera, located on Capitoline, one of Rome's seven hills. In the ancient world Hera was often associated with money. The temple of Juno Moneta at Rome was the place where the mint of Ancient Rome was located. The name "Juno" may derive from the Etruscan goddess Uni (which means "the one", "unique", "unit", "union", "united") and Moneta either from the Latin word "monere" (remind, warn or instruct) or the Greek word "moneres" (alone, unique).

In the Western world, a prevalent term for coin-money has been specie, stemming from Latin in specie, meaning "in kind".

In Portugues the word "Monetário" comes from the Latin word "monere". That's it!

Now, let's watch a video by Marina Orlova. She explains why the world MINT has 5 different meanings: 1) a plant, 2) breath mint, 3) a place where money is made, 4) the condition of an item, 5) wealth, as in "She is worth a mint".
