TEXT 2
Because she was correcting homework and planning lessons, Britany went to bed late – and then she overslept!
She had a quick shower but she didn’t have any time to put on her makeup. Luckily, she doesn’t wear much anyway, but she had wanted to put on some lipstick at least. Too bad! She made herself a coffee and checked the mail. But nobody, it seemed, had remembered her birthday – except for John and Clare whom she had invited for dinner later in the day.
At school, none of her colleagues seemed to have remembered that it was her birthday either and that made her miserable, but at least the children in her second grade class were in a happy mood. It cheered her up, and so every time one of them did something good or gave her a correct answer, she gave them a gold star. They loved that. Luckily, she had enough stars so everyone went home with at least one!
When she got home, Britany was still tired, so she lay down to have a bit of rest but she didn’t get much sleep because her parents rang from the UK to wish her a happy birthday. At least somebody had remembered! When she finished the call there was no time left for sleeping. She had to get dinner ready.
A few minutes later the doorbell rang. She opened the door. There were a lot of people outside. All of them were wearing party hats! A few of them were carrying plates of food. Most of them were colleagues from her school, but there were many others, too. And then they started to sing ‘Happy Birthday …’.

Comentário do professor
O título Surprise! é o mais adequado porque resume com precisão a ideia central do texto: Britany passa o dia achando que ninguém lembrou do seu aniversário, mas ao abrir a porta encontra uma festa improvisada.
Essa mudança de sentimento configura o clímax da narrativa: a situação de esquecimento transforma-se numa cena festiva em que muitas pessoas aparecem usando chapéus de festa e cantando para ela, gerando a sensação de surpresa para a protagonista e para o leitor.
Além disso, o título é breve e contundente; como interjeição, transmite a emoção imediata e o tom anedótico do texto, alinhando forma e finalidade. Por isso, Surprise! encapsula tanto o conteúdo quanto o efeito pretendido pela narrativa.
