Imperative Orders: resumo e simulado de Imperativo Inglês

(IFBA/2018)    

01     My name is Luka

I live on the second floor

I live upstairs from you

Yes, I think you’ve seen me before

05     If you hear something late at night

Some kind of trouble, some kind of fight

Just don’t ask me what it was

I think it’s ‘cause I’m clumsy

I try not to talk too loud

10     Maybe it’s because I’m crazy

I try not to act too proud

They only hit until you cry

After that you don’t ask why

You just don’t argue anymore

15     Yes, I think I’m okay

I walked into the door again

If you ask that’s what I’ll say

And it’s not your business anyway

I guess I’d like to be alone

20     With nothing broken, nothing thrown

Just don’t ask me how I am

¹⁸ Imani Gandy wrote: ‘Oddly, they feel the ¹⁹ need to denigrate Michelle to prop up ²⁰ Melania, when that’s so not the point. But ²¹ they’re too stupid to understand that’.

She kept saying, ― “Turn on the news.” And my mom didn‘t know what was happening. She was really worried and kept calling Dad. She had on the news and called out my two older brothers. We were homeschooled, so they were doing some homework she had assigned them. They ran out and were watching what was happening with Mom and I remember thinking, ―What‘s happening? Why‘s everyone so worried?” I think it was years later that 9/11 really spoke to me. […] – Lola

Friendlier footprints

Improving relations with the locals

 It’s not easy to provide five-star luxury in the most of a treasured wilderness without⁸ damaging the environment. But the King Pacific Lodge in British Columbia’s Great Bear Rainforest manages that difficult feat. For one thing, the lodge doesn’t even take up permanent space. Its 17 rooms sit on a floating boat, which is towed² from May to September into a cove containing large numbers of whales and rare white Kermode bears. Accessible only by boat or floatplane, the lodge charges guests a 3 percent conservation tax⁹, Which⁶ goes toward everything from building bear platforms to youth programs for the indigenous local tribe. “My business is dependent on leaving the area untouched¹,” says lodge president Michael Uehara. “We do not want to kill the goose that laid the golden egg³.”

Uehara and King Pacific owner Hideo Morita are pioneers in community cooperation. Both were adopted by the indigenous Gitga’at people⁵ in 2000 after their tourist company became the first to sign a protocol agreement with a native tribe. The Lodge recognizes the tribe as owners of the land, pays a co-management fee, mentors local youth and employs Gitga’at people, who, in turn, teach⁴ their culture to the guests.

(UFPB/1997)    

Brazilian cooking is exuberant and varied, reflecting the history and geography of this big country. In the northeast, there is an exciting mixture of the food of the Guarani Indians, the colonizing Portuguese and African slaves. The “Moqueca de Camarão”, for example, shows the influences of the local indians and of the Africans who were brought in by the Portuguese to work on the sugar plantations. The easiest method of cooking this dish is described below:

Press the garlic with the salt and add to the shrimp. Heat the oil in a frying pan and add the onion, tomatoes, coriander, pepper, and lemon juice and cook for 5 minutes. Add the coconut milk and cook again for 5 minutes. Serve with rice.
