Questão

How do you sum up a life in five minutes? Leo is recording short audio profiles in English to learn more about his classmates. During his interview, Aisha says: “I grew up in a small town near a river. After a big flood, my family moved to another city. At first I felt lost, but I joined a skate group and made friends. I still miss my grandma’s cooking, so I started learning recipes at home. I’m okay talking about the move and my hobbies, but I don’t want to answer questions about my family’s money or private details.” Leo wants to continue the interview in a respectful way and get details that help listeners understand Aisha’s life story, not just quick opinions. Based on the interview excerpt, evaluate Leo’s options and choose the next question that best helps him learn Aisha’s life story while respecting her limits.

1. A) Ask, “Do you like your new city?”
2. B) Ask, “Did the flood destroy your house?”
3. C) Ask, “Your move must have been awful, right?”
4. D) Ask, “Can you give me your address and phone number?”
5. E) Ask, “What was a normal day like in your old town, and what is different now?”

✅ Resposta correta: alternativa E

Resolução passo a passo

1. O objetivo de Leo é continuar a entrevista de forma respeitosa e obter detalhes que ajudem o público a entender a história de vida de Aisha, e não apenas opiniões rápidas. Além disso, Aisha deixou claro que aceita falar sobre a mudança e os hobbies, mas não sobre dinheiro da família ou dados privados.
2. Analisando as alternativas, a melhor pergunta é a E, "What was a normal day like in your old town, and what is different now?". Ela convida Aisha a descrever sua rotina na cidade antiga e comparar com o presente, o que gera narrativa, contexto e detalhes de vida. Está dentro dos temas que ela aceitou comentar e não exige informações privadas.
3. Por que as outras estão erradas:
4. A) "Do you like your new city?" pede apenas uma opinião fechada, com resposta curta, justamente o tipo de resposta rápida que Leo quer evitar.
5. B) "Did the flood destroy your house?" foca em um evento potencialmente traumático e em detalhes da casa, sem que Aisha tenha convidado essa conversa, o que pode ser invasivo.
6. C) "Your move must have been awful, right?" já traz um julgamento pronto e induz a resposta, além de presumir como Aisha se sentiu.
7. D) "Can you give me your address and phone number?" pede dados privados, que Aisha expressamente não quer compartilhar, e não ajuda a contar sua história.
8. Conclusão: a pergunta E respeita os limites de Aisha e abre espaço para uma narrativa rica sobre sua vida, cumprindo o objetivo da entrevista.

💡 Dica: Leia o trecho com atenção e escolha a pergunta que respeita os limites de Aisha e aprofunda sua história.
