Good Morning, people !
How are you guys doin' ?
Ontem retornei a minha rotina de aulas de francês. Estava com saudades.
Conversando com o professor, falávamos sobre a prova de francês, o DELF. Falei para ele que para o Canadá, a que deve ser feita é o TCQ e, ele me disse que a nota que devo conseguir (pelo menos hoje), seria o equivalente ao B1 do DELF, que indica nível intermediário. Concordei quando ele disse que estando fora, o aprendizado será mais rápido, justamente porque estamos em contato com a lingua 24 horas por dia.
Mas acredito que, se eu conseguir uma nota equivalente a nível intermediário de francês e, uma que fique entre intermediário/avançado no inglês já será de grande valia.
O negócio é se preparar. Ele disse que vai passar uma provinha daqui a umas 2 semanas. Eu não tinha feito provas ainda, porque minhas aulas de francês são particulares, não são em escola de idiomas.
Enfim...
Vamos ao último post sobre o site Ielts for Free.
Não tem muito mais informação para compartilhar.
Tenho dois arquivos do word, onde eu salvei questões de reading e, vou tentar compartilhar, de algum jeito em outro post.
Quanto ao writing, compartilho abaixo, os modelos que o site deu:
Task I model answer
Dear Uncle John,
I am so excited that you’ll soon be here! I’m sorry that I won’t be
there you at the station – I have a work meeting I really have to go to but
I’ve left the keys with David. Just go and see him so you can let yourself in.
I’m sure you remember, but he’s the man living at number 21. Make yourself at
home – there will be food in the fridge and your bed will be made.
The easiest way to get to the house is to jump in a taxi –it’s not
expensive and the buses are so unreliable! I was thinking that when I get back
we could perhaps go out for dinner? I’ll be back no later than six, so we could
go to that restaurant we went to last time you came.
Well, I think that’s everything. It’s going to be great catching up!
Safe trip,
Patrick

Task II model answer
There is a strong
argument to be made for charging an entry fee to public venues dedicated to
the arts, but there is also a case in favour of making them free, as will now
be discussed.
Primarily, the decision to charge for certain forms of entertainment yet
offer others without cost to the visitor requires a degree of subjective
judgement about their worth. For some, a museum is far more important than a
trip to the cinema, yet it could be argued that they are equally deserving
forms of artistic entertainment.
In addition, there are far more deserving areas that are in desperate need of
funding, such as healthcare. The cultural importance of looking at art simply
does not equate with the importance of ensuring that citizens are healthy. In
many countries, a visit to a museum is free, yet the cost of a university
education is prohibitive.
Yet these points must be balanced with the understanding that unlike other
forms of entertainment, the number of people visiting museums who would be
willing to pay a significant entry fee is low. Given the choice of a museum
trip or surfing the internet, the majority of people in recent generations
would likely opt for the latter, meaning that the galleries would be forced
to close if they were not funded.
To conclude, although there would be clear benefits to charging a fee for
entry to such artistic venues, it is unlikely that one would be levied as
this would almost certainly result in their closure. The best course of
action at this point would be entry by donation, rather than a fixed fee.
