Regarding the use of vocabulary and the phenomenon of "false friends" in the relationship between English and Portuguese, mark T for True or F for False:
(__)The word "actual" in English is a false cognate that means "na verdade" or "real", and it should not be translated as "atual" in Portuguese.
(__)The English term "novel" refers to a long fictional narrative in prose (romance), while the Portuguese word "novela" is typically translated as "soap opera" or "short novel".
(__)"Comprehensive" is a cognate word that shares exactly the same meaning with "compreensivo" in Portuguese, usually describing someone who is empathetic.
(__)Lexical precision in academic English requires the use of phrasal verbs instead of Latinate single-word equivalents to increase the level of formality and abstraction.
Now, choose the CORRECT alternative with the sequence from top to bottom:

Gaia Pope: Family appeals for art in memory of teenager

The family of teenager Gaia Pope are appealing for people to create and donate artwork to honour her memory a year after her death.

The 19-year-old was reported missing from Swanage on 7 November. Her body was found 11 days later near the Dorset coast path.

Her family said as the anniversary of her disappearance approached they were "asking people to make something to show she is not forgotten".

The artwork will be displayed online.

Miss Pope, from Langton Matravers, near Swanage, made an allegation she was raped two years before her death.

Her family claimed an alleged failed police investigation "severely affected Gaia's mental and physical state".

Art, particularly pyrography (woodburning), became a form of therapy for the teenager, her family said.

Her mother Natasha Pope said: "I don't speak about my daughter in the past tense - I utter her name as I always have because I know she is still with me, every moment, in all we're doing.

"Gaia's art and poetry, inspired by the beauty of nature and the strength of femininity, is her way of connecting with her true self. In spite of all she's been through she is not defined by that.

"Our Gaia would want to provide a forum for others to find their voice and create."

Miss Pope's cousin Marienna Pope-Weidemann added: "Some things are so big, run so deep, they can only be expressed through art. Our love and our grief for Gaia feels that way.

"The love we've felt from the community felt that way too. We want to honour that, make it visible, maybe do something to show other survivors, families who's lost someone too soon, that they are not alone."

The family said the project was inspired by the #JusticeForLB social media campaign and want people to share their art on Twitter via #JusticeForGaia.

The #JusticeForLB campaign was set up by Dr Sara Ryan - the mother of 18-year-old Connor Sparrowhawk, who had epilepsy and drowned in a bath after having a seizure in Oxford.

Dorset Police is being investigated over the way it handled the rape allegation and its response to Miss Pope's disappearance.

In the sentence “Her family claimed an alleged failed police investigation 'severely affected Gaia's mental and physical state'”, the word “alleged” most nearly means:
- a) confirmed beyond doubt.
- b) accused without proof.
- c) supported by strong evidence.
- d) ignored deliberately.
- e) investigated thoroughly.

Making the Case: The Importance

of Listening in Language Learning

It has taken many years to bring the language teaching profession around to realizing the importance of listening in second and foreign language learning. As observed by Rivers, long an advocate for listening comprehension, “Speaking does not of itself constitute communication unless what is said is comprehended by another person”. Teaching the comprehension of spoken speech is therefore of primary importance if the communication aim is to be reached” (1966, pp. 196, 204). The reasons for the nearly total neglect of listening are difficult to assess, but as Morley notes, “Perhaps an assumption that listening is a reflex, a little like breathing - listening seldom receives overt teaching attention in one’s native language - has masked the importance and complexity of listening with understanding in a non-native language” (1972, p. vii).

In reality, listening is used far more than any other single language skill in normal daily life. On average, we can expect to listen twice as much as we speak, four times more than we read, and five times more than we write.

(Joan Morley,. In: Marianne Celce-Murcia, (Ed.). Teaching English as a
second or foreign language. Boston: Heinle&Heinle-Thomson, 2001. Adaptado)

In the fragment from the first paragraph “It has taken many years to bring the language teaching profession around to realizing the importance of listening in second and foreign language learning”, the bolded words form a collocation. In English, collocations with the verbs ‘do’ and ‘make’ are particularly frequent. One correct instance of such collocation is found in the bolded words in alternative:
- a) After all he went through, he made certain he’d never fly that airline again.
- b) I made my best to try and solve the problem with the possibilities I had.
- c) We did a break so everybody could think over the situation and act accordingly.
- d) We did photos of the whole event, so that we’d have recollections of it in the future.
- e) After hours of brainstorming and hard work, we were sure we’d done progress.

Read the text to answer question.

Based on theoretical, experimental, and experiential knowledge, teachers and teacher educators have expressed their dissatisfaction with method in different ways. Studies clearly demonstrate that, even as the methodological band played on, practicing teachers have been marching to a different drum.

In this sense, the post method condition is established as a timely response. It signifies interrelated attributes. First and foremost, it signifies a search for an alternative to method rather than an alternative method. While alternative methods are primarily products of top-down processes, alternatives to method are mainly products of bottom-up processes. In practical terms, this means that we need to refigure the relationship between the theorizer and the practitioner of language teaching. If the concept of method authorizes theorizers to centralize pedagogic decision-making, the postmethod condition enables practitioners to generate location-specific, classroom-oriented innovative strategies.

Secondly, the postmethod condition signifies teacher autonomy. The conventional concept of method “overlooks the fund of experience and tacit knowledge about teaching which the teachers already have by virtue of their lives as students” (Freeman, 1991). The postmethod condition, however, recognizes the teachers’ potential to know not only how to teach but also how to act autonomously within the academic and administrative constraints imposed by institutions, curricula, and textbooks. It also promotes the ability of teachers to know how to develop a critical approach in order to self-observe, self-analyze, and self-evaluate their own teaching practice with a view to effecting desired changes.

(B. Kumaravadivelu, Beyond Methods: Macrostrategies for language
teaching. Haven and London: Yale University Press. 2003. Adaptado)

The meaning of the word “overlook” as used in the second paragraph of the text is
- a) deepen.
- b) neglect.
- c) give rise to.
- d) enhance.
- e) recognize.
