Grammar workout revisiting grammar points seen so far in the course & CA 1 (Midterm Test)
It is important that you take notes on the date of the Midterm Test and get better prepared for it. Take advantage of the first 40 minutes of the lesson, which are going to be devoted to revisitation and
consolidation of the main grammar and vocabulary points studied up to this point of the course. The Midterm Test focuses on communicative and functional aspects and the exercises are based on the
objectives of the lessons 1 to 15. The estimated time of the test is 60 minutes and it is divided in three parts:
Listening = 10 marks
Reading = 10 marks
Language in use (grammar and vocabulary) = 10 marks / Total = 30 marks*
*In the Progress Report (Relatrio de Aproveitamento) the total of 30 marks is converted to 20 marks.

you will be required to write a text in appropriate style with no reference to dictionaries or other materials. The choices for the written production are based on the topics and language structure
practised during the course through the Communicative Writing tasks.
The estimated time for this Final Test is 100 minutes and it is divided in four parts:
Listening = 10 marks
Reading = 10 marks
Language in use (grammar and vocabulary) = 10 marks
Communicative writing = 10 marks / Total = 40 marks*
*In the Progress Report (Relatrio de Aproveitamento) the total of 40 marks is converted to 30 marks.

D) Enumeration
first(ly)
second(ly)
finally
next
in the (first) place
in fact
moreover
too
what is more
Examples:
The house faces north, so it never gets the sun. Also, it is rather damp.
The children do not like one another. Moreover, they often quarrel and start to fight.
She hardly ever goes to the theatre. In fact, she has not been for months.
B) Comparison
compared with
in comparison with
similarly
Examples:
I used to work fifteen hours a day. In comparison with that, my present job is more like
holiday!
The doctor advised him to give up smoking. Similarly, he recommended him to eat
much less and take plenty of exercise.
C) Contrast and concession*
besides
naturally
but
nevertheless
however
of course
in contrast
on the contrary
instead
on the other hand
still
whereas
while
yet
Examples:
He did not show anyone the papers. Instead, as soon as he got a chance, he burnt them.
She is not as pretty as she used to be. Nevertheless, she is still a very attractive girl.
His first novel took him only a few weeks to write, while his next one took over a year.
*Some of these can both be used for contrast and concession (for example: however), while
others such as on the contrary, on the other hand, are more clearly connected with contrastive
relationships between sentences.
last
to (begin with)
more important
on top of (that)
then
Examples:
His job involves a number of things. First, he is responsible for general administration in the
office. Secondly, he has to look after the financial side of the business... Finally, he has been
asked to build up outside contacts.
There were several good reasons for changing the plan. To begin with, it involved a lot
of money. On top of that, it needed too many people.
E) Exemplification
as (evidence of...)
for example
for instance
let us (take the case of...)
such as
thus
to show what (I mean)
Examples:
Most countries do not grow enough food for their needs. Let us take the case of the United
Kingdom.
Most people are superstitious in some way. Thus, a lot of people believe that the
number 13 is unlucky...
F) Inference
If not,...
In (that) case
otherwise
that implies
then
Examples:
He left the country the same day. In that case, he must have had his passport with him.
You must get some more petrol. Otherwise, we will not have enough to get us to the
next town.

in short
in conclusion
J) Reformulation
in other words
rather
on the whole
to sum up
Examples:
She spends a lot of money on clothes. She is also fond of buying expensive jewellery. In
short, she is extremely extravagant.
The car is not new but it is in good condition. The price too is very reasonable. On the
whole, I think it is quite a good bargain.
The film has a very unusual plot, with plenty of action. Both the acting and photography.
To sum up, this is a film you should not miss.
H) Time*
after (a while)
afterwards
at first
at last
at (the same time)
since (then)
so far
then
(up to) then
Examples:
He tried to open one of the small windows. At first it remained firmly closed but, in the
end, after a great deal of effort, he managed to open it a few inches.
... and the fire has finally been brought under control. Several men are still missing.
Meanwhile the causes of the explosion are still being investigated.
*That is, indicating temporal relationships. This is a very open-ended group of devices, as the
number of bracketed item shows. For example, instead of at the same time, we may have: at that
time/at that moment.
I) Result
accordingly
as a result
consequently
then
therefore
thus
Examples:
Most people were opposes to the scheme on the grounds that it was too expensive.
Accordingly, it is now being re-examined to see if costs can be reduced.
Seven inches of snow fell during the night, blocking most main roads. As a result, traffic
conditions have been chaotic.
Associao Cultura Inglesa So Paulo 2013
Examples:
Towards the end of the party he got up and danced on the table. In other words, he
made a complete fool of himself.
Most people felt that the project was not worthwhile in proportion to the amount of
time it would take to complete it and equally the financial expenditure involved. To put
it more simply, it was a waste of time and money.
K) Replacement
Again
Alternatively
(better) still
on the other hand
Examples:
It is very likely that we shall go by car, even though it is a long drive, because we shall
need some means of transport while we are there. Alternatively, we might fly out and
hire a car when we arrive.
If things get any worse, we might have to arrange apublic meeting to discuss the matter.
Better still, we could even organise a demonstration.
L) Transition
As far as... is concerned
As for...
Incidentally
now
to turn to...
with (reference) to...
Examples:
We can leave most of the details of the proposal until the next meeting. Now, as far as
money is concerned, this needs careful consideration.
In the end, he decided to sell his car. This, incidentally, proved to be a mistake.
In order to make your text more cohesive and better to read, you also use of synonyms
to avoid repetition.
Examples:
These cars were first made in 1972. When they were first produced, they were not very
popular.
If you have any thoughts on the subject, please let me know. I will be interested to hear
your ideas.

Is there a practical, powerful and clean source of energy for the world? Some say
nuclear energy would be the best answer to this. From my point of view, nuclear
energy cannot be a good alternative because it has more negative points than positive
ones.
Dear Mr Johnson,
First of all, nobody can deny that nuclear energy is cleaner than oil, coal and gas
because it produces no smoke and toxic gases which are usually released when we
burn fossil fuels. Smoke from fossil fuels lead to air pollution and some diseases such as
lung cancer, bronchitis, asthmas, etc. That is why it is obviously healthier to use nuclear
energy.
On the other hand, nuclear energy has some disadvantages. Firstly, using nuclear
energy is very dangerous because reactors produce nuclear waste products emitting
dangerous radiation, which is extremely harmful for the body and can cause death. It
can also cause unexpected horrible accidents with extensive damages to both the
environment and people, like the nuclear accident in Chernobyl.
John Smith
Secondly, nuclear energy encourages the use of nuclear weapons, which is a threat to
the peace in the world. In addition, nuclear energy is so expensive that not every
country can use it.
Lastly, there are lots of other sources of energy that can replace nuclear energy such as
wind energy, solar energy and water energy, which are widely available and also
environmentally-friendly and unlimited.
To sum up, despite the advantages of nuclear energy, using it is still too dangerous. We
should limit its use if we want to use it and we have to be very careful. We could
possibly use other sources of energy which are clean and powerful instead nuclear
energy.

I = Interviewer, C = Commentator
I In the studio today is Philip Turner, an expert in migration
at the Institute of Economic Studies, who I hope is going to
shed some light on recent trends in UK migration.
Welcome, Philip.
C Thanks. Good to be here.
I So, Philip, its pretty apparent that the majority of the
Polish migrant workers who came here in the last four or
five years are heading home now. Why is that? Is there no
longer any work for them?
C Well, some Polish workers held highly-qualified jobs
doctors and nurses and so onbut most of them didnt.
They did rather unglamorous work such as potato picking
or cleaning, driving buses, working on building sites, that
kind of thing. And yes, that work is more difficult to come
by. Well actually miss them, particularly in agriculture,
because even though a few people here complained about
immigrants taking British jobs, these werent actually the
jobs that British people were queuing up to take.
I But that isnt the whole story, is it? That doesnt explain
why we are also losing skilled workers
C Probably the main reason why theyre leaving is that the
exchange rate, which was once seven zloty to the pound,
now gives only around four. At the same time the Polish
economy is growing at a faster rate than ours, and key
workers like nurses and plumbers are more and more in
demand back home. On top of that, theres the incentive of
getting back to the relatives or families they left behind.
I And you say well miss them
C Well, yes I think Britain will be a poorer place for not
having them. Not just because its a reminder that our own
economy isnt doing so well, which of course it isnt, but
because Polish culture was good for us.
