In this construction, the word &lt;strong&gt;will&lt;/strong&gt; is a modal auxiliary verb.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are the three main ways that we use &lt;strong&gt;will&lt;/strong&gt; to talk about the future.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;No plan&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We use &lt;strong&gt;will&lt;/strong&gt; when there is no prior plan or decision to do something before we speak. We make the decision at the time of speaking. Look at these examples:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Hold on. &lt;strong&gt;I'll&lt;/strong&gt; get a pen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;We &lt;strong&gt;will&lt;/strong&gt; see what we can do to help you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Maybe &lt;strong&gt;we'll&lt;/strong&gt; stay in and watch television tonight.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In these examples, we had no firm plan before speaking. The decision was made at the time of speaking.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We often use &lt;strong&gt;will&lt;/strong&gt; with the verb think:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;I think &lt;strong&gt;I'll&lt;/strong&gt; go to the gym tomorrow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;I think &lt;strong&gt;I'll&lt;/strong&gt; have a holiday next year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;I don't think &lt;strong&gt;I'll&lt;/strong&gt; buy that car.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Prediction&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We often use &lt;strong&gt;will&lt;/strong&gt; to make a prediction about the future. Again, there is no firm plan. We are saying what we think will happen. Here are some examples:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;It will rain tomorrow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;People won't go to Jupiter before the 22nd century.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Who do you think will get the job?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Be&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The verb &lt;strong&gt;be&lt;/strong&gt; is an exception with &lt;strong&gt;will&lt;/strong&gt;. Even when we have a very firm plan, and we are not speaking spontaneously, we can use &lt;strong&gt;will&lt;/strong&gt; with be. Look at these examples:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;I will be in London tomorrow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;There will be 50 people at the party.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;The meeting will be at 9.30 am.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;To be going to&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Intention&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We use the special &lt;strong&gt;to be&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;going to&lt;/strong&gt; construction when we have the intention to do something before we speak. We have already made a decision before speaking. Look at these examples:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;color:#000099;"&gt;I have&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;color:#000099;"&gt; won $1,000.

The decision was made before we spoke.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Prediction&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We often use &lt;strong&gt;to be going to&lt;/strong&gt; to make a prediction about the future. Our prediction is based on evidence. We are saying what seems sure to happen.

Uma aluna nossa, NOEMI, do Certificados Internacionais - assim como a CECÍLIA o fez com outro texto - traduziu o texto sobre a diferença dos cérebros entre Girls and Boys. O texto é &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Boys' And Girls' Brains Are Different: Gender Differences In Language Appear Biological &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;e está postado mais abaixo. Por favor, leiam e comparem com o original. Neste momento não vou dar minha opinião. Dei uma lida e fiz poucas correções. Desde já, muito obrigado Noemi pelo esforço e pelo estímulo.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#000099;"&gt;TRANSLATED BY NOEMI&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;O cérebro de meninos e meninas.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Embora pesquisas tenham concordado que as meninas tenham habilidades superiores em linguagem, até agora ninguém realmente proveu uma base biológica que possa contar para suas diferenças.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;Pela primeira vez – e numa inequívoca descoberta – pesquisas da Universidade Nothwestern e da Universidade de Haifa, mostraram que áreas do cérebro associadas à linguagem trabalham mais em meninas do que em meninos durante tarefas de linguagem, e que meninos e meninas dependem de diferentes parte do cérebro quando as realizam.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;Usando imagens de ressonância magnética funcional, as pesquisas mediram atividades cerebrais em 31 meninos e 31 meninas entre 9 e 15 anos de idade, quando eles soletravam e escreviam tarefas de linguagem.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;As tarefas eram enviadas em duas modalidades sensoriais – visuais e auditivas. Quando as visuais eram apresentadas, as crianças liam as palavras sem ouvi-las. Apresentadas no modo auditivo, eles ouviam palavras mas não as viam.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;As pesquisas descobriram que as garotas mostravam significativamente maior ativação nas áreas de linguagem do cérebro do que os meninos. A informação nas tarefas vai através das áreas de linguagem do cérebro das meninas – áreas associadas a pensamentos abstratos através da linguagem.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;Para sua surpresa, entretanto, este não é absolutamente o caso dos meninos. Nos garotos, o desempenho preciso depende, ao ler palavras, de como as áreas visuais do cérebro funcionam.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;Uma explicação alternativa é que meninos criam associações visuais e auditivas tais, que significados associados à palavra são trazidos à mente simplesmente por ver ou ouvir a palavra.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;Enquanto a segunda explicação coloca os homens em desvantagem na mais abstrata função da linguagem, aquelas espécies de associações sensoriais podem ter provido um benefício para o homem primitivo, cuja sobrevivência exigiu deles reconhecer rapidamente o perigo associado à visão e aos sons.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;Se o padrão feminino depende de um sistema de linguagem abstrata, a dependência masculina nas áreas sensoriais do cérebro se estende até a idade adulta – uma questão ainda não resolvida – isto poderia explicar por que mulheres sempre provém mais o contexto e representação abstrata que os homens.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;Pergunte a uma mulher por direções e você pode ouvir algo como: vira à esquerda na rua principal, ande uma quadra , passe a drogaria e então vira à direita onde há uma floricultura na esquina e um café do outro lado da rua.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;Tal informação carregada de direções pode ajudar as mulheres porque toda informação é relevante para a abstração do conceito de “onde virar”, entretanto o homem pode necessitar de apenas um sinal e ficar distraído com uma informação adicional.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3354249055729884773-4844712038918297691?l=flavio-english.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://flavio-english.blogspot.com/feeds/4844712038918297691/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3354249055729884773&amp;postID=4844712038918297691&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3354249055729884773/posts/default/4844712038918297691'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3354249055729884773/posts/default/4844712038918297691'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://flavio-english.blogspot.com/2008/03/traduo-international-certificate.html' title='TRADUÇÃO - INTERNATIONAL CERTIFICATE'/><author><name>Flavio Notaroberto</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00063311200639855608</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_6cp_ddFXPCo/R886LQz1HPI/AAAAAAAAABU/OWcPDdmrkwY/S220/DSC00113.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3354249055729884773.post-1027359502559109991</id><published>2008-03-23T14:50:00.008-03:00</published><updated>2008-03-23T20:49:09.469-03:00</updated><title type='text'>PÁSCOA - INTERNATIONAL CERTIFICATE COURSE</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;Um vídeo para que lembremos e reflitamos sobre o significado da Páscoa.

Estudos da língua, entretanto, sustentam que há somente cerca de 400 palavras em inglês cuja grafia é completamente irregular. Infelizmente, muitas destas estão entre as mais utilizadas.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;Os problemas com o sistema de grafia da língua inglesa tiveram origem durante o processo de desenvolvimento do idioma, o qual se estendeu por um período de 1.000 anos. Algumas dificuldades apareceram de imediato, quando os romanos tentaram escrever inglês arcaico utilizando as 23 letras do alfabeto latino. O inglês arcaico utilizava aproximadamente 40 vogais e consoantes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;A influência da língua francesa, após a conquista normanda, também teve um impacto sobre a grafia inglesa. Entre outras modificações, escribas franceses introduziram o “qu” em substituição ao “cw” utilizado na inglês arcaico, como por exemplo a palavra queen (rainha), e o “gh” no lugar de “h”, como por exemplo em night.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;A introdução da prensa tipográfica em 1476 levou ao surgimento de um sistema padrão de grafia, que refletia a fala da região de Londres. A pronúncia de vogais também sofreu modificações durante o século XV, mas devido ao advento do prensa, a grafia nunca alcançou o mesmo estágio de desenvolvimento.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;Anteriormente, escribas simplesmente adotavam uma nova grafia para representar uma nova pronúncia. Portanto, a grafia moderna representa, em muitas maneiras, a pronúncia obsoleta de palavras que data da Idade Média.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;Apesar de muitas tentativas para reformar o sistema de grafia inglês, nenhuma modificação foi introduzida desde o século XVI – principalmente devido ao fato de que não há comum acordo sobre a melhor alternativa!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;O Inglês no Mundo&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;Ao final do séc. XVI, o idioma de Shakespeare era falado por cerca de cinco milhões de pessoas – a população da Grã-Bretanha na época. Desde então, espalhou-se por todo o mundo a partir da colonização da América do Norte, que deu origem ao inglês americano, com algumas diferenças em vocabulário, gramática e ortografia. Durante a expansão do Império Britânico entre os séculos XVII e XIX, o inglês tornou-se o idioma oficial em países como o Canadá, Austrália, Índia e parte da África. Quando esses países se tornaram independentes, o inglês continuou a ser utilizado, geralmente com adaptações locais, criando novas variedades do idioma.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;Estima-se que mais de 300 milhões de pessoas têm o inglês como língua materna e cerca de 1 bilhão o utilizam como segunda ou terceira língua. A ascensão dos Estados Unidos como superpotência teve um papel relevante na internacionalização do inglês, atualmente o idioma mais comum em publicações técnicas.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.britishembassy.gov.uk/"&gt;http://www.britishembassy.gov.uk/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Bibliografia:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Enciclopédia Compacta de Conhecimentos Gerais, Editora Três Ltda., 1995O Reino Unido.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3354249055729884773-6097557527930007493?l=flavio-english.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://flavio-english.blogspot.com/feeds/6097557527930007493/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3354249055729884773&amp;postID=6097557527930007493&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3354249055729884773/posts/default/6097557527930007493'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3354249055729884773/posts/default/6097557527930007493'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://flavio-english.blogspot.com/2008/03/international-certificate-grafia-e.html' title='GRAFIA E PRONÚNCIA NO INGLÊS'/><author><name>Flavio Notaroberto</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00063311200639855608</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_6cp_ddFXPCo/R886LQz1HPI/AAAAAAAAABU/OWcPDdmrkwY/S220/DSC00113.JPG'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3354249055729884773.post-4617497449521453655</id><published>2008-03-16T00:27:00.016-03:00</published><updated>2008-03-16T16:26:51.068-03:00</updated><title type='text'>INTERNATIONAL CERTIFICATE COURSE - ACCENTS</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Australian English&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;Australian English is similar to other versions of English, except for local idioms and pronunciation.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;However, if you speak another kind of English (for example, Indian English or US English), your Australian students may need time to become accustomed to your pronunciation,&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;particularly when you speak quickly.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;Research has shown that mistakes in grammar and even in pronunciation do not necessarily prevent mutual understanding, but that different intonation (the patterns of stress on parts of words, and the rise and fall of your voice) can be a more serious barrier to understanding.

Não há nada de errado em gostar de um brinquedo ou jogos em particular, mas um hábito equilibrado de brincar é melhor para o desenvolvimento. Em outras palavras, é bom para sua criança brincar em grupos e de diferentes maneiras.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;Cada tipo de brincadeira contribui para o próprio caminho do progresso psicológico. Sua criança consegue alguma coisa diferente brincando com diferentes brinquedos. Encoraje (anime) seu filho a conseguir um hábito equilibrado de brincar, oferecendo uma troca (mudança) de atividades. Você pode sugerir novos tipos de jogos e novos brinquedos.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;Um hábito equilibrado de brincar é tão importante quanto boa alimentação ou amor.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;Segundo o Dr. Richard Woolfson (um psicólogo educacional (pedagógico), com 30 anos de experiência, professor especializado em creche (escola maternal) e primário, um pouco dos três tipos de brincadeiras a cada dia ajuda o desenvolvimento saudável das crianças.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;BRINCADEIRA CRIATIVA:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;Desenhando, pintando, tocando música, cozinhando ou fazendo alguma coisa. Não importa o que o seu filho faça ou se o resultado foi perfeito. Através da brincadeira criativa, seu filho expressou-se, aprendeu o processo (técnica), descobriu a causa e o efeito e progrediu nas suas realizações.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;BRINCADEIRA IMAGINATIVA:&lt;/strong&gt; Começa na cabeça do seu filho/a. Pode ser brincar de rolar, criar um novo jogo, dar voz ao brinquedo, inventando aventuras ou brincando do jogo das palavras. Através da brincadeira imaginativa seu filho começa a entender o mundo, investigando fatos e ficção e desenvolver relacionamentos positivos com ele mesmo e com outras pessoas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;BRINCADEIRA ATIVA:&lt;/strong&gt; É quando seu filho age no mundo. É correndo, saltando, agarrando e dançando. Tudo o que reforça (intensifica) e estimula a coordenação. Brincadeira ativa é também uma ótima maneira de aprender trabalhar em equipe, liberta a tensão (ansiedade) e faz sentir a verdadeira liberdade.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;Brincar deve ser levado a sério, no que se refere (no que diz respeito) às crianças. Brincar traz uma imensa contribuição para o desenvolvimento dos seus filhos, de muitas e importantes maneiras.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;color:#000000;"&gt;Quando uma criança brinca, ela aprende tudo sobre ela mesma e o que ela pode fazer. Brincar ajuda fazer amigos, desfrutar da companhia e descobrir o mundo em volta dela. Seu filho se diverte enquanto brinca e ao mesmo tempo está fazendo exercício, descobrindo e se desenvolvendo emocional e psiquicamente. É isso que faz a brincadeira tão formidável.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DESENVOLVENDO A CONFIANÇA ATRAVÉS DA BRINCADEIRA&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;EXPLORAÇÃO:&lt;/strong&gt; Aprendendo através da descoberta, seu filho desenvolve confiança em suas habilidades e aptidões.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;MOVIMENTOS:&lt;/strong&gt; Logo que seu filho possa se movimentar, ele quer brincar. O ¨Eu vou lá por mim mesmo¨ é a expressão que mostra que a confiança do seu filho está crescendo. Brincar é também uma forma fantástica de exercício, e como os fatos nos mostram, crianças precisam fazer exercícios regularmente, brincar. Esta é uma nova e excitante experiência para crianças, e elas amam.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CRIATIVIDADE:&lt;/strong&gt; Toda criança pode ser criativa, brincando. Seu filho ficará encantado quando você sorrir com seus desenhos e pinturas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;RELACIONANDO-SE SOCIALMENTE:&lt;/strong&gt; Brincar com amigos é uma ótima maneira para seu filho aprender importantes lições como: compartilhar (repartir algo com alguém, dividir) e trocar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;RESOLVENDO PROBLEMA:&lt;/strong&gt; A confiança dos seus filhos cresce resolvendo um quebra-cabeça, eles vão preferir fazer isso sem muita ajuda.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;LINGUAGEM:&lt;/strong&gt; Brincando com outros, o vocabulário, a fala e a capacidade de comunicação se intensificam.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3354249055729884773-8270166891593000345?l=flavio-english.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://flavio-english.blogspot.com/feeds/8270166891593000345/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3354249055729884773&amp;postID=8270166891593000345&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3354249055729884773/posts/default/8270166891593000345'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3354249055729884773/posts/default/8270166891593000345'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://flavio-english.blogspot.com/2008/03/international-certificate-course-aula.html' title='INTERNATIONAL CERTIFICATE COURSE - INAUGURAL'/><author><name>Flavio Notaroberto</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00063311200639855608</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_6cp_ddFXPCo/R886LQz1HPI/AAAAAAAAABU/OWcPDdmrkwY/S220/DSC00113.JPG'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3354249055729884773.post-6155155904343972708</id><published>2008-03-11T00:24:00.003-03:00</published><updated>2008-03-11T10:31:51.470-03:00</updated><title type='text'>INTERNATIONAL CERTIFICATE COURSE - WARM UP</title><content type='html'>VIDEO EM INGLÊS SOBRE COMO OS BEBÊS PODEM DESENVOLVER BEM A CAPACIDADE VERBAL. 100% EM INGLÊS.

In hearing words, boys' performance depended on how hard auditory areas of the brain worked.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;An alternative explanation is that boys create visual and auditory associations such that meanings associated with a word are brought to mind simply from seeing or hearing the word.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;While the second explanation puts males at a disadvantage in more abstract language function, those kinds of sensory associations may have provided an evolutionary advantage for primitive men whose survival required them to quickly recognize danger-associated sights and sounds.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;If the pattern of females relying on an abstract language network and of males relying on sensory areas of the brain extends into adulthood -- a still unresolved question -- it could explain why women often provide more context and abstract representation than men.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;Ask a woman for directions and you may hear something like: "Turn left on Main Street, go one block past the drug store, and then turn right, where there's a flower shop on one corner and a cafe across the street."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;Such information-laden directions may be helpful for women because all information is relevant to the abstract concept of where to turn; however, men may require only one cue and be distracted by additional information.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3354249055729884773-2305843360881825445?l=flavio-english.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://flavio-english.blogspot.com/feeds/2305843360881825445/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3354249055729884773&amp;postID=2305843360881825445&amp;isPopup=true' title='4 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3354249055729884773/posts/default/2305843360881825445'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3354249055729884773/posts/default/2305843360881825445'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://flavio-english.blogspot.com/2008/03/international-certificate-course.html' title='INTERNATIONAL CERTIFICATE COURSE - WARM UP'/><author><name>Flavio Notaroberto</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00063311200639855608</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_6cp_ddFXPCo/R886LQz1HPI/AAAAAAAAABU/OWcPDdmrkwY/S220/DSC00113.JPG'/></author><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3354249055729884773.post-3503898287014103968</id><published>2008-03-05T14:20:00.005-03:00</published><updated>2008-03-11T10:29:57.296-03:00</updated><title type='text'>INTERNATIONAL CERTIFICATE COURSE - INAUGURAL</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;criança não trabalha; criança dá trabalho&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;This video is in Portuguese.

There is nothing wrong in liking one toy or game in particular, but a balanced diet of play is best for development. In other words, it's good for your child to play in lots of different ways.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#000000;"&gt;Each type of play contributes in its own way to all-round psychological progress. Your child gets something different out of playing with different toys. Encourage your child to achieve a balanced diet of play by offering a regular change of play activities. You can suggest new types of games and new toys.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#000000;"&gt;A balanced diet of play is as important as good food or love. According to Dr Richard Woolfson (an educational psychologist with 30 years' experience and a qualified nursery and primary school teacher), a portion each of three types of play each day helps with every child's healthy development:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* &lt;strong&gt;Creative&lt;/strong&gt; play is about drawing, painting, playing music, cooking, or making something (anything!). It doesn't matter what your child makes, or whether there's a perfect result. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#000000;"&gt;Through creative play, your child expresses himself or herself, learns about process, discovers cause and effect and gains pride in their achievements.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* &lt;strong&gt;Imaginative&lt;/strong&gt; play starts in your child's head. It can be role-playing, creating a new game, giving toys a voice, inventing adventures or playing a word game. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#000000;"&gt;Through imaginative play your child begins to understand the world, investigates fact and fiction, and develops positive relationships with themselves and other people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;color:#000000;"&gt;* &lt;strong&gt;Active&lt;/strong&gt; play is how your child moves in the world. It is running, jumping, catching and dancing - all of which build strength and boost coordination. Active play is also a great way to learn about teamwork, release tension and feel truly free.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;Play is a serious business, as far as children are concerned. Play makes an immense contribution to your child's development in lots of important ways.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;color:#000000;"&gt;As a child plays, they learn all about themselves and what they can do. Play helps them make friends, enjoy company and discover the world around them. Your child has fun while playing and at the same time is exercising, discovering and developing both emotionally and physically. That's what makes play so wonderful!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;IMPROVING CONFIDENCE THROUGH PLAY&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Exploration&lt;/strong&gt;. By learning through discovery, your child develops belief in their skills and abilities.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Movement&lt;/strong&gt;. As soon as your child can move, they want to play. The "I got there by myself" expression shows your child's growing confidence. Playing is also a fantastic form of exercise and as the facts show us, children need regular exercise.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Imagination&lt;/strong&gt;. Children use their imagination in pretend-play. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#000000;"&gt;This is a new and exciting experience for children, and they love it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Creativity&lt;/strong&gt;. Every child can be creative in play. Your child will be delighted when you smile at their drawings and paintings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Socializing&lt;/strong&gt;. Playing with friends is a great way for your &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#000000;"&gt;child to learn important social skills like sharing and taking turns.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Problem-solving&lt;/strong&gt;. Your child's confidence is boosted by solving a puzzle - they would rather do it without too much help.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Language&lt;/strong&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;color:#000000;"&gt;Playing with others builds up your child's vocabulary, speech and communication skills.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.neath-porttalbot.gov.uk/play/important.cfm"&gt;&lt;em&gt;http://www.neath-porttalbot.gov.uk/play/important.cfm&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3354249055729884773-9128179312456032400?l=flavio-english.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://flavio-english.blogspot.com/feeds/9128179312456032400/comments/default' title='Postar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3354249055729884773&amp;postID=9128179312456032400&amp;isPopup=true' title='21 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3354249055729884773/posts/default/9128179312456032400'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3354249055729884773/posts/default/9128179312456032400'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://flavio-english.blogspot.com/2008/03/why-is-play-important.html' title='INTERNATIONAL CERTIFICATE COURSE - INAUGURAL'/><author><name>Flavio Notaroberto</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00063311200639855608</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_6cp_ddFXPCo/R886LQz1HPI/AAAAAAAAABU/OWcPDdmrkwY/S220/DSC00113.JPG'/></author><thr:total>21</thr:total></entry></feed>
