Nesse nosso encontro, resolvi apresentar um pequeno texto. \u00c9 um texto antigo, mas que traz muitas palavras interessantes. Tais palavras n\u00e3o costumam aparecer em cursos de ingl\u00eas tradicionais. Sendo assim, anote as palavras que voc\u00ea n\u00e3o conhece.

IN THIS WORLD NOTHING IS CERTAIN, BUT DEATH AND TAXES<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0At the end of 19th century, the question was how to tax commerce via the telegraph. At the end of 20th century, the question is how to tax commerce via Internet. 1. The introductory quotation by Benjamin Franklin points out that death and taxes<\/strong><\/p>\n a. show that there is nothing certain in this world. 2. According to the text, a major concern at the moment is how to<\/strong><\/p>\n a. exempt companies from paying taxes derived from e-commerce. 3. A reduction in government\u2019s tax collection<\/strong><\/p>\n a. could be caused by the basic characteristics of the Internet. 4. Which of the statement below does not reflect the content of the text?<\/strong><\/p>\n a. Anonymity is one the features of the Internet. 5. Taxing e-commerce is<\/strong><\/p>\n a. an irrelevant worry Meus coment\u00e1rios:<\/strong><\/span> aqui temos um cl\u00e1ssico exemplo de como as bancas exploram o conhecimento de vocabul\u00e1rio dos (as) candidatos (as). Note as alternativas \u201ca\u201d e \u201cb\u201d da quest\u00e3o 2. As palavras \u201ctax\u201d e \u201clevy\u201d (no caso foi utilizada sua forma plural, \u201clevies\u201d) s\u00e3o sin\u00f4nimas, ou seja, ambas significam \u201cimposto\u201d. Inclusive, note que essas duas alternativas s\u00e3o opostas. Agora um SEGREDO: muitas bancas colocam, quase sempre, uma quest\u00e3o que apresenta 2 alternativas opostas e, quase em 100% dos casos, uma das duas \u00e9 a resposta certa. Comece a prestar aten\u00e7\u00e3o nesse fato. Perceba, tamb\u00e9m, que na quest\u00e3o 5, as alternativas \u201cb\u201d e \u201cd\u201d dizem praticamente a mesma coisa, o que faz com que ambas sejam invalidadas (se uma fosse correta, a outra poderia ser considerada correta, tamb\u00e9m…e n\u00e3o pode haver duas alternativas corretas, certo? Da mesma forma, as alternativas \u201ca\u201d e \u201ce\u201d seguem a mesma linha. Sobrando, assim, a alternativa correta \u201cc\u201d (que \u00e9 oposta \u00e0 alternativa \u201ca\u201d.

NESTE MUNDO NADA \u00c9 CERTO EXCETO A MORTE E IMPOSTOS
No final do s\u00e9culo 19, a quest\u00e3o era como tributar via tel\u00e9grafo. No final do s\u00e9culo 20, a quest\u00e3o \u00e9 como tributar via Internet.
N\u00e3o \u00e9 uma quest\u00e3o em v\u00e3o. Recentes estimativas sugerem que o com\u00e9rcio eletr\u00f4nico entre empresas alcan\u00e7ar\u00e1 $1,3 trilh\u00e3o at\u00e9 o ano 2003.
Desnecess\u00e1rio dizer, os governos est\u00e3o preocupados em se certificar que o anonimato e a natureza da Internet sem fronteiras n\u00e3o levem a uma redu\u00e7\u00e3o na sua receita tribut\u00e1ria.<\/p>\n
Pois bem, that\u2019s it for today.<\/p>\n
