Exercício 18

Cuidado com algumas particularidades da língua inglesa. Lembre-se sempre: Ela não é baseada na Língua Portuguesa.

Obs - As palavras e frases dos exemplos estão todas certas.

1. Comfortable - Não há a regra de "m" só antes de "p"e "b".
2. Interesting - Fortunately - Não há a limitação de a sílaba tônica ser oxítona, paroxítona ou proparoxítona.
3. I like my job - A transitividade também nem sempre é igual. Muitos pensam em Português e dizem I like of my job.
4. I am a doctor - I play the piano - Em Português não existem estes artigos nestes tipos de frases, são características da língua inglesa para estes dois casos: profissão e instrumentos musicais.
5. They have ten books. There are ten books here - Duas coisas importantes aqui: usamos have para posse e as flexões do verbo there to be para existência. Muitas pessoas falam "Have ten books here." E em português colocamos acento na primeira frase. "Eles têm 10 livros" por causa do sujeito plural.

Diário em redação

Tô colocando aqui o dia de ontem ( Domingo, 27/7/2008 ) como uma espécie de diário em Inglês pra ajudar a galera com redação. Muita gente sente muitas dificuldades em conectar as informações ao escrever. Dêem uma olhada, coloquei em destaque 10 pontos, algumas construções que os brasileiros ou não sabem, ou tendem a escrever como uma tradução do que é pensado em Português, ao pé da letra.

My family and I had a very nice day yesterday. We enjoyed ourselves doing a lot of interesting things.
I woke up a little after 7:30 a.m and, as it happens every day, my dog "Marmota" went crazy as soon as I called him a few seconds after getting up.
I took my bike and went to Aterro do Flamengo in order to exercise a little. The weather was great: sunny and cool.
I spent one hour riding and, before coming back home, I went to the supermarket to buy bread and matte for breakfast.
At home, it took us about 30 minutes to eat and get ready to go to the beach.
Then, we went to Barra da Tijuca by car, got there at 12:30 and spent two hours there.
After that we went to a restaurant to have lunch. We ate pizza, drank coke and watched a soccer match on TV.
Finally, in the evening, we played Burnout Revenge, had dinner at 9 o´clock, talked on the phone, took a shower and went to bed.

Estudando assuntos mais complexos

Oi pessoal! Vou começar a coluna deste mês agradecendo a todos que enviaram e-mails e àqueles que adquiriram livros e marcaram aulas. Muito obrigado! Vocês me fazem ser cada vez mais apaixonado pela minha profissão.

Gostei também de ver leitores pedindo tópicos mais difíceis. É isso aí, o caminho é este! Então, este mês, vou tratar de três assuntos um pouco mais complicados. São eles There to be, It takes e Wish. Em comum entre eles está o fato de proibirem expressamente a tradução imediata do pensamento do Português para o Inglês, o que eu sempre falo para todo mundo evitar mesmo.
Comecemos, pois, com o menos difícil dos três: o verbo There to be.

O maior problema que os alunos têm com ele é ignorá-lo quase sempre e aplicar o verbo Have, que é inadequado em alguns casos. Quando ele equivale a possuir é possível usá-lo sem sustos como em I have a lot of friends e They have two cars.

Mas quando este “ter” corresponde a existir, temos de fazer de forma diferente. Se você pensa em “Tem dois livros que eu quero comprar”, não se pode dizer Have two books..., usamos There are two books I wanna buy.

E a forma como se mexe neste tempo verbal é a mesma do mais simples caso do verbo to be.

Observe:

He is a good guy - He isn’t a good guy - Is he a good guy?
There is a pen here - There isn’t a pen here - Is there a pen here?

Ótimo, vamos ao próximo: It takes. Pense em “Eu levo 20 minutos para almoçar”. Ficaria I take 20 minutes to have lunch? De jeito nenhum. Vamos ter sempre It como sujeito da frase e variando os pronomes na forma oblíqua.
It takes ME 20 minutes to have lunch.
It took HIM 8 hours to get to São Paulo
It will take US a long time to walk this distance.

E para terminar: Wish. Esta palavrinha expressa desejo de fazer alguma coisa e é freqüentemente ignorada nas construções de frases.

“Eu queria ter muito dinheiro” é uma frase perfeita em Português, mas I wanted to have a lot of money é pra lá de inadequada em Inglês. Usamos Wish - I wish I had a lot of money. Nada de infinitivo e, repare, o desejo de um futuro diferente coloca o verbo no passado!
She wishes she lived in Barcelona.
Maria wishes Mike loved her.

Assimilado?
Great! Até a próxima.

Sabendo Inglês de verdade

Oi pessoal. Vamos tratar hoje de um assunto que engana muita gente: o nível de conhecimento da língua que a pessoa tem.
De início um fato: aquele que fez um curso regular completo ou, em forma de aulas particulares, terminou um material didático, dificilmente fala, entende, lê e escreve perfeitamente. Vamos ver por quê.
O aluno determinado a aprender o máximo possível deve encarar o estudo como uma longa e difícil faculdade de, por exemplo, medicina. As duas ou três horas semanais estão MUITO longe de ser suficientes para que a pessoa tenha condições de, um dia, dizer “EU FALO INGLÊS”.
Falar qualquer língua equivale a ter, em relação a ela, o mesmo conhecimento da língua portuguesa. Muitas crianças e adolescentes, estes principalmente, se acham satisfeitíssimos ao tirar 7 ou 8 numa prova. Mas pensem comigo: se você tiver que dar uma pequena palestra em Inglês sobre um assunto que goste muito e apenas 70% do que você falar estiver certo, você terá credibilidade?
Ser fluente em Inglês é falar sem precisar passar pelo pensamento em Português, assistir a um programa de TV sem nem mesmo perceber que está em outro idioma por já ser bem natural, ler um romance, digitar um texto num bate-papo etc.
E como isso acontece? Só com livros didáticos? Impossível. A pessoa deve procurar todas as formas de treinamento existentes: ouvir música, assistir a filmes e seriados em Inglês, visitar websites, ler jornais e revistas; enfim, tudo o que estiver ao seu alcance.
Então, com as aulas, muita leitura e bastante listening, as chances de a pessoa realmente falar Inglês ao fim de um método adotado crescem exponencialmente.
E que método adotar? Aqueles que forneçam o máximo de opções possíveis. Minhas escolhas são as coleções Interchange e Grammar in Use. A primeira tem um material auditivo de excelente qualidade, desenhos e cores que ajudam imensamente na compreensão de textos e assuntos bem atuais. A outra é, simplesmente, a melhor coleção de gramática do mundo na opinião da maioria dos professores.
E se, mesmo adquirindo tudo isso você achar insuficiente, ainda resta muito o que fazer: a revista Speak Up é uma delas, os infindáveis volumes de vocabulário e gramática das livrarias são outras e a internet é a maior delas. Quer, por exemplo, mais exercícios de verbo to be? Digite “verb to be” no Google e observe a resposta. Acabei de achar 57.100 resultados para minha busca. Dá para fazer o mesmo com qualquer outro ponto e, se for possível, imprimir centenas de páginas de exercícios.
Você consegue! Força!

Prevenindo alguns erros

Um assunto bem famoso, bem batido, mesmo para quem conhece pouco o idioma inglês refere-se aos falsos cognatos. Trata-se daqueles casos de palavras que parecem ser uma coisa, mas não são. Temos vários exemplos como parents, lunch e advice como substantivos e pretend e assume como verbos. Cuidado, então. Na maioria das vezes as palavras semelhantes às nossas são realmente o que parecem. Mas nem sempre.

Outro motivo que requer atenção: você sabe elaborar, de forma correta, as frases abordando o futuro? É fácil. Basta ficar de olho nas traduções ao pé da letra. Os dois tipos principais will e going to, às vezes podem ser usados tanto um quanto o outro (isso acontece muito em legendas de filmes), mas há uma diferença entre eles. Vamos lá.

Go é o equivalente em Inglês ao verbo ir, mas going to não necessariamente envolve o uso da ação ir. Por exemplo: tende-se, em Português, a usar sempre na fala “eu vou almoçar”, “eu vou ligar pra ele”, “nós vamos sair amanhã” ao invés de “almoçarei”, “ligarei” e “sairemos”. Fica meio esnobe, né? Todo mundo acha.

Peguemos por exemplo a frase “Vou ligar pra ele”. Ela tanto pode ser “I am going to call him” como “I’ll call him”. Vai depender de um detalhe: o planejamento da ação.
Trocando em miúdos com casos bem claros: se esta frase foi dita como um plano de ação para o futuro, usaremos o Going to. Então “Vou ligar pra ele este fim de semana” = “I am going to call him this weekend”.

Ao passo que, se esta frase foi dita como uma decisão imediata, não planejada, devemos usar will. Como a situação em que duas pessoas estão estudando matemática e, ao surgir uma dúvida, resolvem ligar para um amigo naquele mesmo instante. Fala-se “I’ll call Paul. Maybe he can help us”. (Vou ligar pro Paul. Talvez ele possa nos ajudar).

Assimilado? Legal. Então vamos a mais um tópico em que devemos ter cuidado para não errar. Em nossa cultura é comum chamarmos as mulheres mais novas de senhorita e as mais velhas de senhora. Ao aprendermos Miss e Mrs (pronuncia-se “mísses”), tendemos, de imediato, a ligar o primeiro à jovem e o segundo à outra. O vínculo, na verdade, é quanto ao estado civil. Usamos Mrs para casadas e Miss para solteiras. Isto independe da idade e deve-se mencionar sempre o sobrenome. Mrs Williams, Miss Parr, Mrs Helen White… Assim não há o risco de mal entendidos.

Vou ficando por aqui.
Até o mês que vem.

ESTUDANDO E ENSINANDO INGLÊS

Hi everybody!
Tive, esta semana, dois casos idênticos que mexeram muito comigo e queria compartilhar com vocês e fazer uma análise a respeito que talvez ajude alguns. Duas alunas, por volta de 30 anos, e em dias diferentes, ao perceber que estavam tendo muita dificuldade de aprender choraram copiosamente.
Acho que tive uma reação adequada de tranqüilizá-las e passar-lhes confiança para o futuro, para a continuidade das aulas. Elas melhoraram e estão confiantes, porém alguns fatos vêm me chamando a atenção repetidamente em relação a:

1 - Crianças e adolescentes - Por favor, estudem e não faltem às aulas. Inglês e Português não são matérias que devemos tirar uma nota para passar. Devemos assimilar e usar o que aprendemos pelo resto da vida e sempre aprendendo mais.Sem saber Inglês, um bom emprego é quase impossível. Com um bom planejamento dá pra se divertir sem deixar de estudar.

2 - Pais - Façam o que puderem para estimular seus filhos. Se for financeiramente possível, não meçam esforços para que eles aprendam Inglês.

3 - Professores - Conquistem os alunos através de dedicação, inteligência e criatividade.Se vocês puderem fazer (muitos cursos e escolas vetam qualquer material que não for o principal), usem figuras com eles e façam exercícios de repetição à exaustão. Levem recortes de objetos como um livro, uma bola, uma árvore, um supermercado, um ônibus e vão exercitando vocabulário e gramática (principalmente to be e simple present).Ex: Imprimam em 2 folhas a figura de um livro.Com uma das folhas mostrando a eles perguntem: "What is this? Is this yellow? Is it good for you? Do you like this?”.Agora com as duas repitam o procedimento com as frases plurais.Eles adoram e admiram muito quem faz, cria algo para eles.

4 - Alunos adultos - Não se desesperem. Todos são capazes de aprender. É um pouco mais difícil a partir dos 20 anos por causa de preocupações e horários referentes a faculdade, estágios, trabalhos, cônjuges e filhos, eu sei. Mas com estudo diário (15 minutinhos de contato com a língua já ajuda muito) e uma quantidade razoável de leituras, músicas, filmes e seriados, é possível conseguir.Não fiquem só em livros didáticos, diversifiquem. Pensem no Inglês como um carro e que a fala, a compreensão auditiva, a escrita e a gramática são, cada uma, uma roda. E se uma delas não vai bem, o carro não anda direito.

Fiquem com Deus.
