Its funny how most of them cant talk about cars, though. Well, they know they can drive a car.Some also knows that you can park a car. If the car wont start, everybody knows that we may have to push the car.Now, imagine you are at a traffic light and your car stalls. What do you do?You have to get out of the car and push it. Of course that wont happen to a classy car or a brand-new car. Problems like that may happen to old wrecks (latas velhas).When youre driving on a road and your car breaks down, you have to call a tow truck (guincho) to tow the car. You cant just leave your car in there.The thing is: if you have a car, you have to take good care of it. By doing so, youll avoid lots of problems. So, remember its always a good idea to have your car serviced from time to time.Hora de praticar1 Relacione a combinao da esquerda com seu significado direita.a. drive a car (dirigir um carro) b. park a car (estacionar um carro) c. push the car (empurrar o carro) d. car stalls (carro morre, carro afoga) e. get out of the car (sair do carro) f. classy car (carro sofisticado, cheio de classe) g. brand-new car (carro zero, carro novinho em folha) h. car breaks down (carro enguia) i. tow the car (rebocar o carro) j. leave your car (deixar seu carro) k. have your car serviced (levar o carro para manuteno)

Is it a high-speed computer? A state-ofthe-art computer? Now what are the things you do with your computer?Im quite sure that you use your computer a lot. Before using it, you have to switch it on. If your computer crashes, and sometimes it does, you have to reboot it we can also say restart the computer.When you do what you have to do, you switch it off. When we cant switch it off, we may take some extreme measures and shut it down. If you buy a new computer, you have to install it and link (or network) it to the other computers you may have at home.All your files are held on you computer. Its also correct to say that all your data is stored on your computer. We all need an antivirus program. You know there are people out there who may want to hack into your computer. If that happens you may lose all your work.Oh! I cant forget to say that everybody hates being disturbed when they are on the computer.Hora de praticar1 No texto que voc acabou de ler (e ouvir), h alguns verbos e adjetivos comumente usados para falar sobre computadores.
