Phrasal Verbs
• A phrasal verb is a combination of a verb and preposition, a verb and an adverb, or a verb with
both an adverb and a preposition.
• A phrasal verb has a meaning which is different from the original verb. That's what makes them
fun, but confusing. You may need to try to guess the meaning from the context, or, failing that, look
it up in a dictionary.
• The adverb or preposition that follows the verb are sometimes called a particle. The particle
changes the meaning of the phrasal verb in idiomatic ways.
Idiomatic Usage
It is the figurative or idiomatic application in everyday speech which makes phrasal verbs so
important:
The literal meaning of “to get over”, in the sense of “to climb over something to get to the other
side”, is not relevant here. Here "get over" means "recover from" or "feel better".
Look somebody up - to go and see someone who you know when you`re visiting the place where
they live

My friends
My name is Anna Julia. I don`t have much money, but I have a lot of friends. I`m a busy
woman, I have a lot of work to do, so I have little time to spend on my friends, but I enjoy every
minute we are together. A few friends call me just Anna. Their names are Victoria, Clara, Jason,
Brian, Carlos and Milena. Victoria is richer than me. In fact, she is the richest of the group. But I`m
not her friend because of her money. She isn`t snobbish. She is nice and friendly to everyone. She is
older than Clara, but Clara is taller than her. Jason is more handsome than Brian, but Brian is more
intelligent than Jason. Carlos is the strongest and Milena is the funniest. All of them have good and
bad points. But I don`t care about their bad points. I love them the way they are. How about you?
Do you have many friends?

8) Read the notes of the short film “Second Wind” and answer the questions.
Overview
Every day he must make a new flower from a tin and plant it into the dry ground. This is the point
of his existence, as there is nothing else left in the world but metallic rustle of the apocalypse
flowers.
Film notes
Second Wind is a short film that attempts to solve a difficult problem - to show the tragic destiny of
the planet in small form. Maybe this is why the film has no words in it, but only the main
character’s cry of despair. This person is forced to live in the vacuum of the dead nature, but, like a
reckless poet, he reads his naive poem every day to the dry wind and flowers made of cans. There
are neither words nor rhymes in this poem – there is only wind, the second wind.
( ) This film is considered fiction because it shows the tragic destiny of the planet.

Para tornar mais expressivas as mensagens transmitidas nos textos de curta- metragens, os
autores deste tipo de gênero podem utilizam-se de figuras de linguagens que, em inglês, chamamos
de "figures of speech”.
Ironia e metáfora são, entre outras, figuras de linguagem. O autor usa de ironia quando quer
dar ao texto um efeito crítico ou humorístico.
Metáfora é quando o autor utiliza uma palavra ou uma expressão em lugar de outra sem que
haja uma relação real entre estes termos.
Na frase, “…as there is nothing else left in the world but the metallic rustle of the apocalypse
flowers”, o autor usou a metáfora “the apocalypse flowers” como forma de mostrar o cenário de
destruição do planeta.
1) Write “M” for metaphor or “I” for irony according to the meaning of each sentence.

Questão 5 – (H5) One of the things that made an incredible impression on me in the film was
Frida’s comfort in and celebration of her own unique beauty. She didn’t try to fit into conventional
ideas or images about womanhood or what makes someone or something beautiful. Instead, she
fully inhabited her own unique gifts, not particularly caring what other people thought. She was
magnetic and beautiful in her own right. She painted for years, not to be a commercial success or to
be discovered, but to express her own inner pain, joy, family, love and culture. She absolutely and
resolutely was who she was. The trueness of her own unique vision and her ability to stand firmly in
her own truth was what made her successful in the end. (HUTZLER, L.)

Yesterday my brother and I went to see a football game. We watched our two favourite
teams, the Eagles and the Hawks. It was the second week of the season and the day was colder than
the week before. We arrived at the stadium at 11:30 am, which is earlier than usual. We were
excited because I love the Hawks and he loves the Eagles.
The seats were good, but I wanted seats closer to the field. However, we sat and enjoyed the
game. Well, we enjoyed it until we started arguing. My brother and I both think our team is better
than the other team. He always says to me that the Eagles are faster, stronger, and smarter than the
Hawks. I never agree. On this day, he was wrong. The Hawks played better than the Eagles. They
looked stronger than the Eagles. They won by 15 scores.
