Em um terminal de passageiros, há placas com as mensagens: “Information Desk”, “International Departures” e “Please keep your ticket”. Pessoas de diferentes lugares circulam pelo local.

Explique por que o inglês pode aparecer nessas placas junto com a língua local e como isso ajuda as pessoas no terminal.

Messages keep arriving on the PixelPatch forum, where teenagers from Brazil, South Korea, Egypt, and Canada are creating a free game about recycling. To discuss the game’s code and share new ideas, they write short messages in English. The group also creates versions of the game dialogue in Arabic, Korean, Portuguese, and French. A Brazilian student uses a dictionary to understand a suggestion from an Egyptian teammate and replies in simple English. Later, she helps translate the game dialogue for players in her city. By keeping common tags in English, the forum lets members find ideas posted by people they have never met.

Analyze the group’s practices. What role does English play in this online project?

“I can report the flood level, but my grandmother cannot read the app,” said Amina, a volunteer from a fishing community. A coastal warning network connects groups in Mozambique, Indonesia, and Brazil after unusual tides. Its online map uses English labels so teams in different countries can compare water levels, photos, and short notes. Many first reports, however, are written in Portuguese, Bahasa Indonesia, or local languages. During a test alert, English-only instructions reached some group leaders quickly, but several elders and new volunteers waited for help to understand evacuation details. The organizers want information to cross borders without making local residents dependent on an English speaker.

Analyze the organizers’ goal and the test alert. Which redesign best treats English as an international resource while protecting local access to safety information?

Messages appear every day on Clean Streets, an online volunteer project. Teenagers from Brazil, Morocco, South Korea, and Finland upload photos of plastic waste near parks and bus stops. They write their full reports in Portuguese, Arabic, Korean, or Finnish. However, each report has an English title and two English keywords. During a weekly video meeting, participants use short English phrases, maps, and chat icons to compare places. After the meeting, they create local posts in their own languages to invite neighbours to a clean-up day. The project guide explains that the English titles help volunteers find reports from different countries, while the local posts help residents understand how to join.

Analyze the communication choices in the project. What do they show about the use of English in this situation?

What do you do when a problem is bigger than your own language? Júlia, 13, bought a used digital camera to record short videos for her cousins. On the first day, the camera showed an error code and stopped saving files. She searched the code online and found a help forum with thousands of users. Júlia wrote her question in Portuguese and waited, but nobody replied.

Later, she noticed that most posts on the forum were written with short, simple sentences in English. She rewrote her question, using a few words she already knew and checking other words with an online dictionary. The next morning, she had answers from people who explained different ways to fix the problem. Júlia did not learn the camera language overnight, but she managed to understand the tips and solve the issue.

Based on the text, infer the main reason Júlia rewrote her question in English.

A 13-year-old student shares a short video online about a homemade robot built with cheap materials. The video is in English, even though the student speaks Portuguese at home. In a few days, comments arrive from people in India, Egypt, Mexico, and South Korea. Some ask how the robot moves, others suggest improvements, and one teacher writes that the video can help beginners learn simple science terms. The student says, “I used English because it helps more people understand my idea.” A classmate notices that the same language also appears in game instructions, travel signs, music apps, and videos made by young creators around the world.

Analyze the text and identify how English works in this situation.

Complete the sentence with must or have to to express obligation: "Students ___ submit their lab reports by Friday to receive a grade."
