Ol\u00e1, galera! Hey, you guys!<\/p>\n
Today we are going to practice some listening and reading skills. We are going over the text “O Primeiro Dia” (The First Day) extracted from the short story collection Com\u00e9dias Brasileiras de Ver\u00e3o<\/em> (Brazilian Summer Comedies) by beloved Brazilian author and comedian Lu\u00eds Fernando Ver\u00edssimo. Are you up for it? This exercise is going to be divided into three parts:<\/p>\n 1. \u00a0Ou\u00e7a\/ Listen<\/strong> <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n 2. Leia\/ Read<\/strong><\/p>\n O Primeiro Dia<\/strong><\/p>\n No Brasil, como se sabe, o verdadeiro dia primeiro de janeiro \u00e9 a quarta-feira de cinzas – \u00e0 tarde. \u00c9 o dia nacional do recome\u00e7o solene, quando milh\u00f5es de pessoas em todo o pa\u00eds colocam a m\u00e3o sobre uma agenda nova e juram dizer a verdade, fazer o bem e somente o bem, organizar suas estantes, procurar seus amigos, para de fumar, beber menos, comer melhor, visitar a tia Cleoci e pelo menos se esfor\u00e7ar para entender a teoria qu\u00e2ntica, j\u00e1 que a econ\u00f4mica \u00e9 imposs\u00edvel. Enfim, come\u00e7ar uma nova vida. Da Capo<\/em>. Do zero. \u00c9 o primeiro dia da volta ao Para\u00edso antes da serpente original. Descontada a ressaca, somos os ad\u00e3os e as evas da segunda chance, prontos para reinaugurar o mundo. Isto se chama ch\u00e3o e isto parede, aquilo l\u00e1 fora sol e isto na minha m\u00e3o comprimido anti\u00e1cido, ou ser\u00e1 o contr\u00e1rio? Depende da nossa vontade e somente dela. O futuro \u00e9 uma folha pautada, esperando a primeira anota\u00e7\u00e3o do ano, que tanto pode ser “Dentista” na sexta quanto “Deus, levar question\u00e1rio” no s\u00e1bado. Dia de contri\u00e7\u00e3o e onipot\u00eancia. A virtude nos envolve como um halo e somos outros, somos decididamente outros, e certamente melhores. Uma sensa\u00e7\u00e3o que geralmente perdura at\u00e9 a quinta, quando vamos ao banco ver o saldo da conta.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The first day<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n In Brazil, as you know, the real first day of January is Ash Wednesday – in the afternoon. It is the national day of solemn resumption, when millions of people across the country place\u00a0their hands on a new appointment book\u00a0and swear to tell the truth, to do good and only good, to organize their shelves, to seek their friends, to quit smoking, to drink less, eat better, visit Aunt Cleoci and at least try\u00a0to understand quantum theory, since economic theory is impossible. Anyway, to start a new life. Da Capo. From scratch. It is the first day of the return to Paradise before the original serpent. Besides the\u00a0hangover, we are the Adams and Eves of the second chance, ready to reinaugurate the world. This is called floor\u00a0and this is a wall, that out there is the sun and this in my hand is an antacid tablet, or is\u00a0it the other way around? It depends on our will and our will only. The future is a lined\u00a0sheet, waiting for the first note\u00a0of the year, which can either be “Dentist” on Friday\u00a0as “God, take questionnaire” on Saturday. Day of contrition and omnipotence. Virtue surrounds us like a halo and we become others, we decidedly become others, and certainly better. A feeling that usually lasts until Thursday, when we go to the bank to check our\u00a0account balance.<\/em><\/p>\n At\u00e9 mais!
