The goal of discipline is to learn the basic techniques of reading and interpretation of texts in English related to Mining. Preparing students for the challenges of the globalized world and provide them with necessary tools in English.
Sabe-se, hoje em dia, a importância do Inglês como um diferencial na tomada de decisões. O peso de uma língua estrangeira na hora de arranjar um emprego é muito grande! A quantidade de manuais, catálogos e etc em Inglês, são grandiosos. Então, pensando em adequar os alunos ao mundo concorrido de trabalho, vamos aprimorar o Skimming (leitura superficial de algo) e o Scanning (leitura mais aprofundada de algo) através do Inglês Instrumental. Para tanto, vamos ter algumas aulas de gramática antes de entrar nas aulas de tradução de texto.
Antes de tudo, gostaria que respondessem algumas perguntas:
Verbos terminados em Y precedidos de consoante se acrescenta IED sem o Y
TO STUDY = STUDIED (estudar)
Verbos terminados em Y precedidos de vogal se acrescenta ED com o Y
TO PLAY = PLAYED (jogar, brincar)
Verbos no passado (IRREGULAR):
Os verbos irregulares no passado não têm regra e podem mudar por completo ou não mudar nada.
PRESENTE INFINITIVO
PASSADO TRADUÇÃO
TO EAT ATE ComerTO LET LET Deixar, sairTO SPEAK SPOKE FalarTO MAKE MADE Fazer
Nas formas negativas e interrogativas, usa-se o verbo auxiliar DID
e o verbo principal fica no infinitivo sem o TO.
Negativa – She did not work yesterday. (Ela não trabalhou ontem)
Interrogativa – Did she work yesterday? (Ela trabalhou ontem?)
Forma abreviada – Did not = didn’t
Quando usarmos o DID nas frases com verbos irregulares, os verbos voltam para o infinitivo.
He made a cake. (Ele fez um bolo)
Negativo – He didn’t make a cake.
Interrogativo – Did he make a cake? O verbo voltou para a forma infinitiva
Esta regra serve para o
passado regular e irregular.
E) Complete the sentences with the simple past of the verbs in the parentheses and translate:Complete as frases com o passado simples dos verbos e m parênteses e traduza:
1) Priscilla ____________________ (talk) to her friends all day.
F) Complete the sentences with the simple past of the irregular verbs in parentheses and translate:Complete as frases com o passado simples dos verbos irregulares nos parênteses e traduza:
1) She ______________________ (bring) a lot of friends to our party.
O Presente Contínuous é formado pelo presente do verbo to be (am, is , are) + verbo principal + ing
She is working. (Ela está trabalhando)Negativa – She is not working. (Ela não está trabalhando)Interrogativa – Is she working? (Ela esta trabalhando?) Formas abreviadas – AM = ‘M AM NOT = ‘M NOT ARE = ‘RE ARE NOT = AREN’T IS = ‘S IS NOT = ISN’T O Presente Contínuos é usado para expressar ações que: Acontecem no momento da fala Look! It’s raining. (Olhe! Está chovendo) O Presente Contínuo é geralmente usado com advérbios de tempo: at the moment (no momento), at present (no presente), now (agora) e etc. Lucas is studying at the moment. (Lucas está estudando neste momento) Para se fazer o Passado Contínuo é só colocar o verb to be no passado (was, were) He was playing. Negativo - He wasn’t playing. (WAS NOT) Interrogative – Was he playing?
G) Complete the sentences with the Present Continuous in parentheses and translate:Complete as frases com o Presente Contínuo nos parênteses e traduza:
1) My sister and I ________________________________ (do) our homework now.
Agora que já estamos sabendo um pouco da gramática da Língua Inglesa, vamos traduzir o texto a seguir:
Leia o texto abaixo e responda às questões de 1 a 4:
3.1 .One Man in a Boat
Fishing is my favorite Sport. I often fish for hours without catching anything. But yhis does not worry me. Some fishermen are unlucky. Instead of catching fish, they catch old boots and rubbish. I am even less lucky. I never catch anything – not even old boots. After having spent whole mornings on the river, I always go home with an empty bag. “You must give up fishing¹” my friends say. “It’s a waste of time.” But they don’t realize one important thing. I’m not really interested in fishing. I am only interested in sitting in a boat and doing nothing at all!

6.1. Reverse Logistics
Retail and returns online The volume of returns made by the online North American consumers will total 90 million in 2005 - representing approximately 5.8 billion dollars. These numbers were estimated by the new research infrastructure, retail performed by Jupiter Media Metrix, the market intelligence company with international operations, which also shows that as you increase the volume of discards, lost significant opportunities for cost savings those retailers that focus solely on improving the processes associated with those returns. According to analysts at Jupiter, to realize the financial benefits, companies must maximize the value of returned products, improving all their reverse logistics systems, including collection and analysis of consumption data. "Several third-party solutions have emerged to address consumer concerns about the convenience and speed up the processing of returns," said Darren Bien, an analyst at Jupiter. "While these solutions address the grievances and desires of consumers, retailers must look beyond the process of returning to see the significant potential for cost reduction. They should focus on the benefits in cost reduction of an enhanced reverse logistics system, including three main elements: data collection, distribution of products and effective reporting. " The main findings of the latest research and forecasts of retail infrastructure conducted by Jupiter were discussed at the Jupiter Retailing Forum in Chicago, 21-22 May, which concentrated on the problems faced by online retailers, a sector of U.S. $ 36 billion, and Ground Zero 5 Conference in Boston, 22-24 May, which examined how the corporate world is developing and expanding its B2B strategy to capture the full power of the digital

revolution. Below are some important items:
The first step in creating an effective reverse logistics program is to collect the data needed to understand the reason why the consumer to make the return of the product. Even when the return policy is "do not ask questions", according to Jupiter analysts, retailers must collect data consistent and well structured with regard to the reason for the return and the condition of the product. Companies that fail to do this also fails to analyze trends in product categories and specific consumer segments, or correct the source of the problem by reducing or eliminating certain types of returns.
Jupiter analysts warn companies to maintain policies that address all returns uniformly, otherwise run the risk of jeopardizing the quality of data collected. For example, Jupiter analysts have found that after a well known retailer changed its return policy, restricting the payment of the freight only to damaged goods, damaged product returns have risen significantly, while the returns associated with consumer behavior decreased proportionally.
The effective reporting and analysis of data provided by consumers is critical to quickly identify trends in reverse logistics process and are a way to reduce the number of returns.
"Companies need to better understand the reasons that lead consumers to return their products," said Bien. "Data collection is the only alternative for these companies to reduce discards, identify trends and, more importantly, redistribute faster products."

7. FOURTH TEXT
7.1. Logistics
Logistics is the management of the flow of goods between the point of origin and the point of destination in order to meet the requirements of customers or corporations. Logistics involves the integration of information, transportation, inventory, warehousing, material handling, and packaging, and often security. Logistics is a channel of the supply chain which adds the value of time and place utility.[clarification needed]
Today the complexity of production logistics can be modeled, analyzed, visualized and optimized by plant simulation software, but is constantly changing. This can involve anything from consumer goods such as food, to IT materials, to aerospace and defense equipment.
7.2. Origins and definition
The term logistics comes from the Greek logos (λόγος), meaning "speech, reason, ratio, rationality, language, phrase", and more specifically from the Greek word logistiki (λογιστική), meaning accounting and financial organization[citation needed].
Logistics is considered to have originated in the military's need to supply themselves with arms, ammunition and rations as they moved from their base to a forward position. In ancient Greek, Roman and Byzantine empires, military officers with the title Logistikas were responsible for financial and supply distribution matters[citation needed].
The Oxford English Dictionary defines logistics as "the branch of military science relating to procuring, maintaining and transporting materiel, personnel and facilities." Another dictionary definition is "the time-related positioning of resources." As such, logistics is commonly seen as a branch of engineering that creates "people systems" rather than "machine systems". When talking in terms of human resources
19
management, logistics means giving inputs, i.e. "recruiting manpowers", which ultimately work for the final consumer or to delivery.
According to the Council of Logistics Management, logistics contains the integrated planning, control, realization and monitoring of all internal and network-wide material-, part- and product flow including the necessary information flow in industrial and trading companies along the complete value-added chain (and product life cycle) for the purpose of conforming to customer requirements.
7.3. Main logistics targets
Logistics is one of the main functions within a company. The main targets of logistics can be divided into performance related and cost related. They are high due date reliability, short delivery times, low inventory level and high capacity utilization. But when decisions need to be made, there is always a trade off between these targets. This is what makes being a logistician challenging and interesting.
