Questão de Língua Inglesa
O texto abaixo deve ser considerado para as questões 37, 38 e 39. Olinda! Legend has it that a view gave rise to the name of Pernambuco’s first capital. In 1535 provincial lord Duarte Coelho, having climbed to the top of a hill, is believed to have said “What a lovely spot for a town”. The truth of this is anyone’s guess. By the same reasoning one would expect to find places like Poxaquebonita and Quelugarchique on the map – when in fact they do not exist. Still, the story is colorful – and gives you a destination this sunny morning: Alto da Sé, the hill from which Duarte Coelho supposedly waxed poetic. So you tramp up Rua do Amparo. With Carnaval just days away, Olinda is as pretty as a flower garden in spring. Cobblestone alleys branch off in interesting directions, but you stay on course. Time to explore later, you think. First the view... Without warning, a giant female puppet cuts across your path. Three-meters tall, she sports an enormous papier-maché head and is dressed for a party. Adapeted from Speak up. nº225-ed. Peixes. p. 29a34. 2006. 8
