Questões BNCC EF07LI22

Why does the same language sound different? While listening to a teen podcast, Ana hears two guests speaking English. A visitor from Scotland says, “I’m gonna get a wee snack,” and another guest, from Trinidad, says, “I’m liming with my cousins later.” Ana understands the general ideas from the conversation and the topic (free time), but she notices the comments section.

One listener writes: “This is not real English. They should speak properly.” Another listener replies: “I didn’t know ‘wee’ means ‘small’. Cool!” The host asks volunteers to answer the first comment in a respectful way, because the show wants people to feel welcome, even when they speak English in different ways.

Based on the text, identify the reply that best challenges the prejudiced comment and recognizes language variation in English.

Scrolling through the comments on her travel video, Bruna reads a short debate. In the clip, a surfer from New Zealand says: “Yeah nah, it was heaps cold, but the waves were choice.” One viewer writes, “He can’t speak English. Why didn’t you interview someone who speaks proper English?” Another answers, “I understood him. That’s just his accent.” A third adds, “English is English. Stop being so sensitive.”

Bruna wants to reply in English. She does not want to insult the viewer, but she also does not want to support the idea that there is only one “correct” way to speak. Her goal is to keep the comment section respectful and help people focus on understanding the message, even when the words and expressions sound different.

Consider Bruna’s goal in the text. Identify the reply she should post to reduce linguistic prejudice and recognize English variation in a respectful way.

While recording a short podcast about languages, Maya talks with three guests from different places. One uses a soft “r” in words like car, another says “I’m after eating” to mean he has just eaten, and a third uses “you all” when speaking to a group. After the episode, a listener writes: “Their English sounds strange. Only one way of speaking should be accepted.” Maya answers: “English changes from place to place and from group to group. These differences are part of how languages live and grow. What matters is understanding and respect, not judging people as wrong.” Her comment is later shared by many listeners, who say they learned that a language can have more than one natural form.

Analyse the text and identify the idea that best reflects Maya’s reply.

Late on Saturday, three cousins keep a video call while planning a visit to their grandmother. One says, “I’ll take the lift to my flat and bring some crisps.” Another answers, “I’ll use the elevator to my apartment and buy chips.” A third laughs and adds, “In my town, people also say petrol instead of gas.” No one in the call stops to correct the others, because everyone understands the message. At the end, their aunt says that these differences are common in English around the world: the language can change from place to place, but it still serves the same purpose of sharing ideas, feelings, and daily life.

Analyze the text and identify how the different words used by the cousins should be understood.
