bem agora passando ao que interessa. Como eu já disse, na semana passada estive de férias, e a minha prof de ESL (inglês para os alunos internacionais) mandou-nos ler o seguinte texto:
" At the University of Minnesota, there were four sophomores taking organic chemistry. They did so well on all the quizzes, midterms, and labs that each had an "A" so far for the semester. These four friends were so confident that, the weekend before the final exam, the decided to go to the University of Michigan and party with some friends there. They had a great time; however, after all the hard partying, they slept all day Sunday and didn't make it back to Minnesota until early Monday morning.
Rather than taking the final exam then, they decided to find their professor after the exam and explain to her why they had missed it. They told her that they had gone to the University of Michigan for the weekend planning to come back in time to study, but, they had a flat tire on the way back, didn't have a spare, and couldn't get help for a long time. As a result, they missed the final.
The professor thought it over and then agreed they could make up the final the following day. The studentswere elated and relieved. They studied that night and went in the next day at the time the professor had told them. she placed them in separate rooms, handed each of them a test booklet, and told them to begin.
The students looked at the firts problem, worth five point. It was a problem they had studied before. "Cool", they thought at the same time, each one is in separate room. "This is going to be easy." Each finished the problem and then turned the page. On the second page was written: "(For 95 points): Which tire?" "Para quem nao teve paciência para ler em inglês vou fazer uma tradução muito rápida:
4 estudantes da faculdade do Minnesota, eram super bons alunos, tinham sempre A nos testes. Decidiram ir para uma festa durante o fim de semana na faculdade do Michigan. Apanharam uma ressaca que não se sentiram prontos para o exame final que tinham na segunda feira. Combinaram entre todos faltar ao exame e irem falar com a professora. Como desculpa disseram que tinham ido à faculdade do Michigan e que tiveram um furo no pneu e nao conseguiram ajuda para regressar a tempo de estudar para o exame.
A professora deixou-os fazer o exame no dia seguinte. Os alunos foram para casa estudar para o exame. Quando no dia seguinte chegaram à faculdade, a professora, dividiu-os em 4 salas. Mandou-os iniciar o teste. Na primeira pagina estava um problema que valia 5 que já tinha sido feito na aula, os alunos pensaram "Fixe!". Na segunda pagina a pergunta era a seguinte: Que pneu?
já nao posso usar esta desculpa quando nao fizer algum trabalho para a aula dela!
