Questões de Concurso

During a visit to the school library, a group of 4th graders wants to interview a renowned children's book author. They are preparing a list of questions to ask about the author's inspirations and writing process. As part of their preparation, they need to understand the structure of questions in English. The students are specifically learning to form questions using various question words and sentence structures. Based on their lesson, which aims to help them recognize and apply the basic form of questions, they are asked to identify the correct way to ask about the author's favorite childhood book in an interview setting.

Read the following passage and identify the correct object pronoun to complete the sentence:

'My sister asked ____ to help _____ with the homework.'

Read the following passage:

'Sally's cat is very playful. It loves to chase after ____ tail and play with ____ toys. ____ bed is soft and comfortable, and it always sleeps in it at night.'

From the passage, identify the appropriate possessive pronouns to complete the sentences, indicating ownership and relationship with the nouns. Which possessive pronouns should be used to properly fill in the blanks in the passage?

The Internet has changed people lives, speech styles, jobs, communication, and education. Modern cell phones, digital cameras, and other new devices have affected the way we use language. People communicate with each other through electronic mail, instant messaging, and texts. They might “chat” in different virtual rooms, join interesting online groups, comment on news websites, and write in blogs and “wikis.” These practices construct new forms of “discourse, identity, authorship, and language” (Kern, 2006, p.183). The English language is widely used on the Internet and is considered to be the most common Internet language. English language has many new expressions and abbreviations that appear on the Internet. These Internet expressions have grown in popularity. People use several terms to describe them, such as texting language, textese, Internet language, digital language, and chatting language. Such expressions build up a new variety of English that is very common among Internet users, bloggers, chatters, gamers, and teenagers in general. It is considered an informal written language, much like slang, which is an informal spoken variety of the language. This paper uses the term “texting language” (TL) to mean all these kinds of messages, expressions, and abbreviations.
