2º BIMESTRE / 2016 1 BODY LANGUAGE
More than half of what we communicate is communicated not through words but through body language. This includes our posture, facial expressions, and gestures. Because body language is so important, you’ll want to know what yours is saying and how to interpret other people’s, too. Here are some examples of body language and its meaning. (Note: These meanings are for North America. Interpretations may differ a bit in other cultures.) If your posture is slumped and your head is down, this could mean that you are sad or lack confidence. If your posture is straight, but relaxed, you are expressing confidence and friendliness.
A smile is a sign of friendliness and interest. But people sometimes smile just to be polite. To get another clue from people’s faces, notice their eyes. Friendliness and interest are expressed when a person’s eyes meet yours (especially when you’re the one who’s talking) and then look away and meet yours again. A person who doesn’t look away is expressing challenge. A person who doesn’t look at you is expressing lack of interest or is shy. Hand gestures can mean a person is interested in the conversation. But repeated movements – like a pencil or tapping a foot – often mean the person is either impatient or nervous. Stay away from someone who points at you while talking with you: that person might be angry at you or feel surprised to you.

2º BIMESTRE / 2016 12 QUANTIFIERS
Quantifiers são expressões usadas para indicar e fornecer informações a respeito da quantidade de algo. Antes de prosseguirmos para os principais exemplos de quantifiers, é importante lembramos o conceito dos tipos de substantivos:
Countable são aqueles substantivos que podemos contar, não necessitando de nenhuma unidade de medida, permitindo a forma singular e plural.
Uncountable são os substantivos que não podemos contar, tornando-se necessária uma unidade de medida. Esses substantivos só apresentam a forma singular.
“Much”, “Many” e “A Lot of”
Os três indicam a mesma coisa: uma grande quantidade. No entanto, o uso de cada um irá depender justamente do tipo de substantivo.
- “Much” é usado nos casos de substantivos não-contáveis.
Ex: How much sugar do you need? = Quanto de açúcar você precisa? - “Many” é usado nos casos de substantives contáveis.
Ex: How many students are there? = Quantos estudantes estão lá? - “A lot of” é usado em ambos os casos.
Ex: I have a lot of thing to do. = Eu tenho um monte de coisas pra fazer.
“Too” e “So”
São usados para intensificar algo. A diferença é que “too” dá a impressão negativa de exagero, enquanto “so” indica uma grande quantidade, porém positiva.
Ex: There is too much traffic in New York. = Há tráfico demais em Nova York. I love you so much. = Eu te amo muito.
“Little”, “Few” e “Enough”
Os quantifiers “little” e “few” possuem o mesmo significado: uma pequena quantidade de uma coisa. A diferença entre os dois é que enquanto “little” se refere aos substantivos não-contáveis, “few” se refere aos contáveis.
Ex: There are a few people in theater. = Há poucas pessoas no teatro. Add a little sugar, please. = Adicione um pouco de açúcar, por favor.
“Enough” se refere a algo suficiente, podendo ser usado tanto nos casos de substantivos contáveis como nos incontáveis.
