Hey, there!

Você sabe que o inglês faz parte do seu dia a dia, certo? Ele está presente em games que você joga, em músicas que você ouve, em websites que você acessa e, possivelmente, até mesmo em etiquetas das roupas que você usa. Além disso, a língua inglesa é amplamente utilizada na comunicação entre pessoas de diferentes nacionalidades, seja presencialmente, seja on-line. Aprender inglês, portanto, é importante para ter acesso a tudo isso e poder participar ativamente de interações nesse idioma.

A coleção English Play foi preparada para que você possa desenvolver sua capacidade de utilizar a língua inglesa em diversos contextos e situações, seja para ler, ouvir, falar ou escrever em inglês.

Além disso, você pode conhecer aspectos da cultura de países de língua inglesa e da diversidade linguística.

Ao longo da obra, você explora vários gêneros textuais escritos e orais e temas relevantes para você e a sociedade. Você participa de diversos tipos de atividades e descobre novas formas de pensar, sentir e agir no mundo. Para tornar tudo ainda mais desafiador e divertido, incluímos alguns “ingredientes” de games. Assim, ao aprender a língua inglesa, você joga, brinca, representa, ou seja, you play.

Como sabemos que seu papel é fundamental no processo de aprendizagem, convidamos você a se engajar nesse processo, junto com seus colegas e professor(a), de forma colaborativa, prazerosa e enriquecedora. Let’s play and learn!

Discovering literature in English The aim of this section is to introduce you to literature in English by presenting a short version of a popular Shakespeare’s play – A Midsummer Night’s Dream. But, first, let’s learn a little bit about William Shakespeare.

Read the text below and do exercises 1 and 2.

William Shakespeare (26 April 1564 (baptised) – 23 April 1616) was an English author who wrote 37 plays, 154 sonnets and also two long poems in his lifetime. He lived in Stratford-upon-Avon, in Warwickshire, England. His plays are still performed today. He is often quoted in modern writing.

By 1594 he was an actor in The Chamberlain’s Men acting company.

His plays are of different kinds, or genres. There are histories, tragedies and comedies. These plays are among the best known in English literature and are studied in schools around the world. Shakespeare wrote his works between about 1590 and 1613.

Shakespeare has been credited for adding new words and phrases to the English language and for making some words more popular. He created over 1,700 English words.

Now read this short version of a popular Shakespeare’s play, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and do exercises 4-7.

On the Web A Midsummer Night’s Dream http://livro.pro/ iwga5t (Acesso em: 15 abr.

2019).

Story Egeus wants his daughter Hermia to marry Demetrius. Hermia does not want to marry him. She loves another man named Lysander. Hermia and Lysander decide to run away. Demetrius follows them. Helena, Hermia’s best friend, is in love with Demetrius. She follows him. All four become lost in the woods near Athens.

Meanwhile, Oberon and Titania are having an argument. Oberon decides to teach Titania a lesson. He puts a love potion into her eyes while she is asleep. This potion will make her fall in love with the first thing she sees when she wakes.

Oberon finds Helena and Demetrius. He tells Puck to give Demetrius some of the love potion so that he will love Helena. Puck makes a mistake and puts the potion in Lysander’s eyes. When Lysander wakes up, he loves Helena instead of his real sweetheart Hermia!

fairy = fada woods = bosque

The workmen are practising a play in the woods for the upcoming marriage of Theseus and Hippolyta. Puck plays a trick on Nick Bottom by giving him donkey ears. The other actors run away, so Bottom goes to sleep. He is sleeping near Titania. She wakes up and falls in love with him.

Oberon realises everything is all mixed up. He gives some of the love potion to Demetrius. Now Demetrius and Lysander both love Helena. Sad and confused, all the lovers fall asleep. At last, Puck rights all the wrongs. He makes Lysander love Hermia again, and makes Demetrius love Helena.

Everyone is happy.

The workmen perform their play after the wedding of Theseus and Hippolyta. Oberon has stopped Titania being in love with Bottom. They are happy with each other again. The fairies use their magic to bless all the lovers.
