     Text 1: Unilever’s brand new identity

            The UK based global foods and home and
     personal care products manufacturing company recently
     announced the launch of a new mission entitled
     ‘Vitality’ as the base of its future policy.
 5          Central to the new direction are a Mission
     Statement and logo. The new Mission reads,
     “Unilever’s mission is to add vitality to life. We meet
     the everyday needs for nutrition, hygiene, and personal
     care with brands that help people feel good, look good
10   and get more out of life.”
            Although the new brand logo forms an integral part of Unilever’s new
     campaign, which was officially launched in May, it did not appear on the
     company’s packaging until 1 July. The new logo tells the story of Unilever and
     vitality. It brings together 25 different icons representing Unilever and its
15   brands, the idea of vitality and the benefits we bring to consumers and the world
     we operate in.
            “Our mission is full of promise for the future, opening up exciting
     opportunities where we have competitive advantage for developing our business
     and our new logo will help us confidently identify ourselves in every aspect of
20   our business,” explained Antony Burgmans and Niall Fitzgerald, the Chairmen
     of Unilever worldwide. (From Britain Brasil magazine, p.7, July /August 2004)

     Text 2: Primavera do Leste

            Most towns or cities in Brazil usually take a strong pride in their historic
     past and have at least a few old buildings or monuments standing witness to
     earlier days. But in Primavera do Leste, a booming agribusiness town 230
     kilometers east of Mato Grosso’s state capital, Cuiabá, the oldest historic
 5   landmark you will find is a common filling station and truck stop with a banner
     saying: “Where it all began”.
            Where a few years ago there was virtually nothing but dust-covered
     savanna and patches of stunted growth, thousands of acres of soy and cotton
     fields now spread out as far as the eye can see, earning millions of dollars on
10   world markets and turning the still small city into one of Brazil’s latest new
     economic hubs. Regional roads and telecommunications, however, are two
     aspects local entrepreneurs and producers point out as very precarious, forming
     obstacles to further growth seriously affecting production and marketing costs.
            Founded only 17 years ago, everything in Primavera, as it is usually
15   referred to, is new - from its modern architecture to its growing population.
     Only the very young can proudly say they were born here. Valentim
     Martignano, one of the district’s oldest pioneers arrived here from Paraná state
     some 22 years ago, “All I saw was a gas station, a general store six houses and a
     lot of dust,” he recalls. Today the modern town boasts 50,000 inhabitants, and
20   projections by the Brazilian institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) are of
     a population of 100,000 in five years’ time. (From UPDATE, by William Vanvolsen,
     p.24, May/2003, American Chamber of Commerce publication)

WHAT DOES YOUR DADDY DO?

       It was the first day of school and the teacher thought she’d get to know

       The first little girl said, “My name is Mary and my daddy is a postman.”
The next little boy said, “I’m Andy and my Dad is a mechanic.”
       It was then little Johnny’s turn and he said “My name is Johnny and my
father is a striptease dancer in a cabaret for gay men.”
       The teacher gasped and quickly moved on, but later, in the school yard,
the teacher approaches Johnny privately and asks if it was really true that his
Dad dances nude in a gay bar. Little Johnny blushed and said, “Nah, he’s
actually an auditor for Arthur Andersen but I was just too embarrassed to say.”

       We have seen that through its monetary policies government can try to
control money to __________ (1) inflation, fight depressions, and provide full
__________. (2). By trying to control the amount of money in circulation, the

payments), this spending or restraint will have a major effect on the condition of
the economy.

ESAF / AFTN-98

Read the text below in order to answer questions 1 to 3.

Tax Audits
       Although only about one out of every 100 individual tax returns will be
audited in 1998, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is very good at selecting
returns for audit that will yield additional taxes. Nevertheless, if your return is
selected, it does not necessarily mean you will incur any additional tax liability.
       If you do not agree with the examiner’s report, you can meet with the
examiner’s supervisor to discuss your case further. If you still do not agree, you
have the right to appeal the findings through a separate Appeals Office. You can
also appeal to the U.S. Tax Court.

1.    The author states that the examiner’s report might be
a)    dishonest.
b)    unofficial.
c)    questioned.
d)    irrevocable.
e)    ambiguous.

2.    According to the text, when you meet the examiner’s supervisor
a)    the two of you must reach a final agreement.
b)    you wish to discuss the examiner’s liability.
c)    you have already accepted the examiner’s report.
d)    additional taxes are charged.
e)    you intend to discuss the examiner’s report in more detail.

3.    The text implies that
a)    Audits rarely result in additional charges.
b)    Additional taxes may be charged.
c)    Additional taxes must not be adopted.
d)    Audits are an unnecessary practice.
e)    Audits will soon be abolished.

It brings together 25 different icons representing Unilever and its 15 brands, the idea of vitality and the benefits we bring to consumers and the world we operate in. “Our mission is full of promise for the future, opening up exciting opportunities where we have competitive advantage for developing our business and our new logo will help us confidently identify ourselves in every aspect of 20 our business,” explained Antony Burgmans and Niall Fitzgerald, the Chairmen of Unilever worldwide.

  • 3. CURSOS ON-LINE – INGLÊS – PROF. CARLOS AUGUSTO CURSOS ON LINE Prof. Carlos Augusto -3- Se você tivesse que fazer a busca das palavras transparentes, das palavras com formação prefixal e sufixal das collocations e tudo o mais que vimos estudando você as encontraria no texto a seguir. Mas, gostaria que first and foremost você fizesse o vocabulary pre-test. A B 1. take a strong pride in a. ( ) sua população crescente 2. standing witness to b. ( ) até onde a vista alcança 3. one truck stop c. ( ) novos pólos econômicos 4. with a banner saying d. ( ) alguma vegetação rasteira 5. patches of stunted growth e.

( ) são o testemunho de 9. producers point out as i. ( ) parada de caminhões 10. the modern town boasts j. ( ) com uma faixa dizendo Text 2: Primavera do Leste Most towns or cities in Brazil usually take a strong pride in their historic past and have at least a few old buildings or monuments standing witness to earlier days. But in Primavera do Leste, a booming agribusiness town 230 kilometers east of Mato Grosso’s state capital, Cuiabá, the oldest historic 5 landmark you will find is a common filling station and truck stop with a banner saying: “Where it all began”. Where a few years ago there was virtually nothing but dust-covered savanna and patches of stunted growth, thousands of acres of soy and cotton fields now spread out as far as the eye can see, earning millions of dollars on 10 world markets and turning the still small city into one of Brazil’s latest new economic hubs. Regional roads and telecommunications, however, are two aspects local entrepreneurs and producers point out as very precarious, forming obstacles to further growth seriously affecting production and marketing costs. Founded only 17 years ago, everything in Primavera, as it is usually 15 referred to, is new - from its modern architecture to its growing population. Only the very young can proudly say they were born here. Valentim Martignano, one of the district’s oldest pioneers arrived here from Paraná state some 22 years ago, “All I saw was a gas station, a general store six houses and a lot of dust,” he recalls. Today the modern town boasts 50,000 inhabitants, and 20 projections by the Brazilian institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) are of a population of 100,000 in five years’ time.
