In the question below you will be analyzing two reading activities that an EFL (English as a Foreign Language) teacher has prepared for her students in the 8th grade (8o ano do Ensino Fundamental).

 

ACTIVITY 3

 

 
ACTIVITY 4

READ THE FOLLOWING TEXT.

 

An amazing species with an uncertain future

 

The Atlantic bluefin tuna can reach over 4 metres in length and average around 250kg in weight.

 

When chasing prey they travel at speeds that can exceed 70 kph.

 

But the bluefin tuna stock in the Mediterranean Sea is at serious risk of collapse.

 

A massive and hi-tech commercial fishing fleet and illegal fishing could mean that this magnificent species is gone from Mediterranean waters.

 

It isn’t too late... yet.

 

WWF is demanding a sensible and science-based management scheme in the long term, but this is not happening and the species is collapsing.

 

The only way to allow the recovery of bluefin tuna stocks in the Atlantic and Mediterranean - and ensure a sustainable fishing industry - is to temporarily ban global trade through the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES).

 

The time to act is now.

After Activity 4, the teacher expected the students would realize that

  1. both texts are sales ads that blame the restaurants for encouraging the illegal fishing and global trade of endangered species.
  2. both texts intend to call the readers’ attention to the threats against living beings, but they refer to different endangered species.
  3. even though both texts deal with the same topic, the text in Activity 3 is a commercial advertisement, while the text in Activity 4 is magazine article.
  4. the text in Activity 3 illustrates the problem reported in the text in Activity 4 and both encourage the reader to take action to avoid a disaster.
  5. while the text in Activity 3 criticizes restaurant owners, the text in Activity 4 reveals that the ones truly responsible for this ecological disaster are the fishermen in the Atlantic waters.

Comentário do professor

A alternativa indica que o texto da Atividade 3 ilustra o problema apresentado na Atividade 4 e que ambos incentivam o leitor a agir para evitar um desastre ambiental.

Na Atividade 3 há uma mensagem direta de alerta sobre o desaparecimento do atum-rabilho, sugerindo mudança de comportamento (retirá‑lo do cardápio), ou seja, uma estratégia persuasiva voltada à ação imediata.

Na Atividade 4, fatos sobre pesca intensiva, risco de colapso e apelos institucionais (ex.: proposta de suspensão do comércio internacional) reforçam o mesmo sentido de urgência — expressões como "The time to act is now" explicitam o convite à intervenção.

Portanto, ambos os textos cumprem função argumentativa e pragmática semelhante: mostram o problema (sobrepesca e risco de extinção) e convocam medidas concretas para preservação.
