Read text VI.

EVERY GENERATION HAS A LEGEND. EVERY JOURNEY HAS A FIRST STEP. EVERY SAGA HAS A BEGINNING.

 

This is the first chapter of the mythic Star Wars saga.

 

Set thirty years before the original Star Wars film, Episode I introduces young Anakin Skywalker, a boy with special powers, unaware that the journey he is beginning will transform him into the evil Darth Vader.

 

Obi‐Wan Kenobi, the wise old Jedi from the original series, is a determined young apprentice and Palpatine, well known as the evil Emperor, is an ambitious Senator in the Galactic Republic.

 

It is a time when the Jedi Knights are the guardians of peace in a turbulent galaxy and a young Queen fights to save her people. In the shadows an evil force is waiting for the right moment to strike.

B

Comentário do professor

A sequência correta 4,6,3,1,2,5 relaciona cada palavra do texto ao sentido adequado no contexto.

Saga = tale. Em inglês, saga refere‑se a uma narrativa longa e heroica; aqui indica a história épica — um tale.

Unaware = oblivious. No trecho, Anakin é descrito como sem consciência do destino que o aguarda, isto é, oblivious (alheio, sem perceber).

Strike = attack. “In the shadows an evil force is waiting for the right moment to strike” usa strike no sentido de lançar um ataque — equivalendo a attack.

Evil = bad. A palavra qualifica força ou personagem maléfico; semanticamente corresponde a bad (mau, maligno).

Wise = prudent. Ao chamar Obi‑Wan de sábio, o texto enfatiza julgamento sensato e cautela, características de alguém prudent.

Journey = trip. “Every journey has a first step” refere‑se à jornada/viagem empreendida pelos personagens, ou seja, a trip (trajeto/viagem).
