Atividade 1º Ensino Médio

2. Simple Present
• Trata-se de um tempo verbal utilizado para descrever ações em geral, rotina, hábitos e
costumes.
• Ao contrário da língua portuguesa, em inglês, os verbos no simple present não são
flexionados em todas as pessoas, exceto na terceira pessoa do singular
(he/ele, she/ela, it/ele, ela) em frases afirmativas.
EXEMPLOS: I dance with you. (verbo sem S no fim porque o sujeito é I)
He dances with you (verbo com S no fim porque o sujeito é HE, 3ª pessoa do
singular)
• Outra peculiaridade é o uso dos verbos auxiliares do e does em frases interrogativas e
negativas.
EXEMPLOS: Do you go to the gym? (Usou-se o DO porque é uma interrogação dirigida a YOU)
Does she go to the gym? (Usou-se DOES porque é uma interrogação dirigida a
SHE, 3ª pessoa do singular.
As sentenças destes exemplos, na negativa, são:
You don’t go to the gym. (DON’t por acompanhar YOU)
She doesn’t go to the gym. (DOESN’T por acompanhar a 3ª pessoa SHE – e o verbo Go não
recebe S no fim porque o auxiliar DOES já foi flexionado)

3. TEXT
• The Breakfast Club (Clube dos Cinco
– Brazil or O Clube – Portugal) is a 1985
American coming-of-age comedy-drama film
written, produced, and directed by John
Hughes.
• The storyline follows five teenagers,
Each a member of a different high
school clique, who spend a Saturday
in detention together and come to realize
that they are all more than their respective
stereotypes, while facing a strict
disciplinarian.
• The Breakfast Club's title comes from
the nickname invented by students and staff
for morning detention at New Trier High
School. Thus, those who were sent to
detention before school starting time were
designated members of "The Breakfast
Club".
• The story is about the constant
struggle of the teenagers to be understood
by adults and by themselves. It explores the
pressure put on teenagers to fit into their
own realms of high school social constructs,
as well as the lofty expectations of their
parents, teachers, and other authority
figures.
• On Saturday, March 24, 1984, five
students report at 7:00a.m. for all-day
detention at Shermer High School in
Shermer, Illinois. The principal Richard
Vernon assigns them a 1,000-word essay, in
which each must describe "who you think
you are." pass the hours by talking and
arguing. As the detention comes to its final
moments, the group requests that Brian
complete the essay for everyone, and Brian
agrees, leaving the essay in the library for
Vernon to read after they leave.

4. The Essay
Dear Mr. Vernon,
We accept the fact that we had to sacrifice a whole Saturday in
detention for whatever it was we did wrong. What we did WAS
wrong, but we think you're crazy to make us write an essay telling
you who we think we are. What do you care? You see us as you
want to see us... In the simplest terms and the most convenient
definitions. But what we found out is that each one of us is a brain,
and an athlete, and a basket case, a princess, and a criminal. Does
that answer your question?
Sincerely yours,
The Breakfast Club
