APRESENTAÇÃO Você já deve ter ouvido falar que o aprendizado de uma língua estrangeira se baseia na inter-relação de quatro habilidades: ouvir, falar, ler e escrever. No entanto, para garantir a eficiência desse esquema em sala de aula, é preciso assistir bem às aulas, o que requer disciplina, atenção às explicações do professor, resolução das tarefas ou projetos propostos e prática do conteúdo ensinado. É importante praticar individualmente, interagir com os colegas, com o material didático, com o professor e com qualquer pessoa do seu relacionamento. Assim, o livro, a sala de aula e o professor são apenas o ponto de partida, seus parceiros na construção do conhecimento. Suas ações e sua determinação poderão levá-lo a resultados bastante proveitosos. Empenhe-se na busca de outras fontes, como revistas, jornais, livros de literatura, letras de músicas, filmes, internet. Compartilhe com os colegas, com seu professor e com os amigos as descobertas que fizer. Entretanto, há alguns poucos estudantes que perguntam: “Para que aprender inglês na escola?”. Para conhecer outra cultura, outros costumes, através do aprendizado de uma língua. Para se incluir socialmente num mundo cada vez mais globalizado. Descartar esse direito é insensatez. Esta coleção contribui para o seu aprendizado de inglês, trazendo diálogos e textos autênticos sobre assuntos diversos. Eles são apresentados de forma a permitir a expansão do seu vocabulário, o domínio da estrutura gramatical e o aprimoramento de seu espírito crítico, além de desenvolver sua fluência na conversação e na leitura. São oferecidas inúmeras atividades destinadas a prepará-lo para enfrentar situações reais do cotidiano. Nossa proposta, com esta coleção, é ser o parceiro de alunos aplicados e de professores dedicados.

What is text speak? Text speak is a type of writing used for quick and short messages. It is common in social media, online chat, and text messaging. It uses many abbreviations such as: AML – All My Love; 2DAY – Today; B4 – Before; IRL – In Real Life. New technology, such as smartphones with predictive text and autocorrect, permits users to write full, real words, but the use of text speak is still very popular. The use of emoticons is also very common in online communications and texting. Emoticons are punctuation marks that express emotions, gestures, objects, and symbols. Examples: :-) – happy, :-( – sad, :-* – kiss, ;-) – wink. Text speak and emoticons are important parts of the new generations’ written language.

In aviation, the letters of the alphabet are expressed using words. They form a single universal alphabet, that is, each letter is represented by an internationally recognized word. These words are from a number of different languages: English, French, Greek, Latin, and Spanish. A is Alpha, B is Bravo, C is Charlie, D is Delta, etc. The names of airplanes are also a group of five letters, called prefix. The first two letters indicate if an airplane is private, PT (Papa Tango), or commercial, PP (Papa Papa). An airplane under the prefix PT LIE is called in full: Papa Tango Lima India Echo. PP SON is Papa Papa Sierra Oscar November. The pilot requests permission to land like this: “Control Tower, this is Papa Tango Whisky Hotel Kilo” (PT WHK). The Armed Forces (the Navy, the Army, and the Air Force) also use this alphabet. Based on <http://blog.privatefly.com/history-of-the-nato-phonetic-alphabet>. Accessed November 13, 2015.
