English language learner. Its funny how most of them cant talk
about cars, though. Well, they know they can drive a car.Some also
knows that you can park a car. If the car wont start, everybody
knows that we may have to push the car.Now, imagine you are at a
traffic light and your car stalls. What do you do?You have to get
out of the car and push it. Of course that wont happen to a classy
car or a brand-new car. Problems like that may happen to old wrecks
(latas velhas).When youre driving on a road and your car breaks
down, you have to call a tow truck (guincho) to tow the car. You
cant just leave your car in there.The thing is: if you have a car,
you have to take good care of it. By doing so, youll avoid lots of
problems. So, remember its always a good idea to have your car
serviced from time to time.Hora de praticar1 Relacione a combinao

dont you? Is it a high-speed computer? A state-ofthe-art computer?
Now what are the things you do with your computer?Im quite sure
that you use your computer a lot. Before using it, you have to
switch it on. If your computer crashes, and sometimes it does, you
have to reboot it we can also say restart the computer.When you do
what you have to do, you switch it off. When we cant switch it off,
we may take some extreme measures and shut it down. If you buy a
new computer, you have to install it and link (or network) it to
the other computers you may have at home.All your files are held on
you computer. Its also correct to say that all your data is stored
on your computer. We all need an antivirus program. You know there
are people out there who may want to hack into your computer. If
that happens you may lose all your work.Oh! I cant forget to say
that everybody hates being disturbed when they are on the
computer.Hora de praticar1 No texto que voc acabou de ler (e
