AUDIO TRANSCRIPTS

AUDIO 1 - TASK 3
Speaker 1: I feel like the world is changing at such a fast pace.
Speaker 2: I know, I wonder what life will be like in fifty years?
Speaker 1: I think life will be very different. How people work and study will definitely change.
Speaker 2: Well, we saw how the pandemic reshaped working and learning. I think remote learning and working will continue to grow and AI will probably replace all our jobs!
Speaker 1: No way! AI won’t replace all our jobs, but it will definitely impact the workplace. My friend is a copywriter, and he said they now work with an AI system, which can create content much faster than a human. He needs to check the content though, so he still has a job.
Speaker 2: See, it’s already happening. And what about transport? Do you think we will have flying cars?
Speaker 1: Well, rich people will probably have some form of a flying car, but I don’t think they will be accessible to everyone.
Speaker 2: Do you think people will move away from cities to live in the countryside?
Speaker 1: I think more people will probably move away in search of a slower pace of life. And remote learning and working makes it possible.

AUDIO 2 - TASK 5 (Part A)
I will → I'll
She will → She'll
He will → He'll
It will → It'll

AUDIO TRANSCRIPT

Conversation 1
Speaker A: Have you seen any good movies recently? I could do with some recommendations.
Speaker B: How about the Hangover sequel? It isn’t as good as the first one, but it is still hilarious. I think there might be a third and final one too, but I haven’t seen it.
Speaker A: I’m not really in the mood for a comedy, how about an action movie? I want to watch something thrilling and fast-paced.
Speaker B: What about Bullet Train?
Speaker A: What’s it about?
Speaker B: It’s about five assassins who are all on the same bullet train in Japan.
Speaker A: Who’s in it?
Speaker B: Brad Pitt and Sandra Bullock. I don’t remember the names of the other actors. It’s action-packed. The plot is a bit confusing, so you have to pay attention, but the ending is excellent.
Speaker A: I think I might have seen the trailer for that. It looks good. Thanks, I’m going to watch it tonight.

Conversation 2
Speaker C: Have you ever read Psycho, by Robert Bloch?
Speaker D: Yes, twice! Did you like it?
Speaker C: Yes, I did. The main character, Norman, is crazy.
Speaker D: I know. It’s such a terrifying story. I couldn’t put it down. I love horror novels. My favorite author is Stephen King. Have you read any of his books?
Speaker C: I've read The Shining, but I had nightmares afterwards. I've seen the movie too, but it is very different.
Speaker D: It is, but it’s good and still scary. It’s the same with Psycho, the director Alfred Hitchcock created an incredible adaptation.

AUDIO TRANSCRIPT

ONE
Simon: I had a normal childhood. I grew up in a small city in the United States with my parents and my older brother Pete. He was annoying when we were young. We used to fight like cats and dogs, but now we get on very well. I have mostly good memories of my school days. After school, I used to play soccer with my friends in the park, and in my teens, my friends and I started a band. I used to play the drums, Simon played the bass, and Chris was the singer. We used to practice for hours in Simon’s garage.
TWO
Kat: My dad was a diplomat, so we used to move around all the time. We moved to a different country every three years. It was a great experience to see so many places, and I used to get excited when we found out where we were moving to next. It was a bit difficult saying goodbye to friends, but we tried to keep in touch. We didn’t use to have the Internet back then, so I wrote letters. Overall, I used to enjoy school. I studied hard and got good grades in all my classes except for math. I have never been good with numbers.

AUDIO TRANSCRIPT

Speaker 1: I hated school and knew I didn’t want to go to university. I wanted to own my own hair salon, so I decided to train to be a hairdresser. I did a two-year course. I really enjoyed it because it was all practical. There were exams at the end of each term, but I revised and managed to pass them all. After the course, I got a job in a local salon and worked there for five years. I worked hard, gained experience, and saved my money. In 2018, I opened my own salon, and it is doing well.
Speaker 2: I went to university to study marketing. I knew I wanted a business career. After I got my degree, I moved to the city, and after many interviews, I finally got a job in an international company. I have been working there for six years. I work long hours, but I earn good money. I attend regular training sessions to keep up to date on all the new developments and software. I also get to travel all around the world on business trips. I am not sure I want to be doing this all my life, but for now, I am enjoying it.
Speaker 3: I have always found languages interesting. I went to a bilingual elementary school, so I speak English and French and in high school, I studied Spanish. I currently have a B2 level diploma, but I plan to take an exam next month to achieve a C1 level. In September I start university. I am doing a course in Modern languages. I would like to work as a translator one day.

Speaker 1: Well, I love shopping, so I would say I’m more of a spender. When payday comes around, I always buy myself something. I feel I deserve it as I work hard. I have plenty of time to save for the future.
Speaker 2: I am a bit of both. I usually put some money away each month, but if there is something I want to buy and it’s not too expensive, I usually get it.
Speaker 3: Honestly, I’m not very good with money, and I tend to waste it on things like takeout and taxis, which all add up each month. I rarely save anything.
Speaker 4: That’s easy. I’m a saver. I am very careful with money. I have a healthy savings account which I have been paying into since I was twenty. My mom taught me the value of money from a young age and how important it is to save for a rainy day.

Learning ENGLISH with AI

DO VÍDEO PARA A PRÁTICA:

Copie e cole PROMPTS para

aprender INGLÊS com IA

ENGLISH IN BRAZIL

Paula Carnasciali

Julho de 2026

A Inteligência Artificial transformou a maneira como aprendemos idiomas. Hoje, ferramentas como ChatGPT e Google Gemini podem funcionar como verdadeiros parceiros de estudo, ajudando você a praticar a Língua Inglesa sempre que quiser e sem custo.
Neste artigo, reunimos os principais prompts apresentados no vídeo abaixo. Além de copiar e colar os comandos, você aprenderá como utilizá-los para desenvolver conversação, ampliar o vocabulário, melhorar a escrita e revisar gramática de forma prática.
Se você ainda está no início da sua jornada, não se preocupe. Assista ao vídeo com as legendas ativadas em Inglês. Dessa forma, você treinará o listening enquanto acompanha o conteúdo. Depois, basta utilizar os prompts para colocar tudo em prática.

Como usar estes prompts para INGLÊS
Você pode utilizar todos os comandos apresentados neste artigo em ferramentas como ChatGPT, Google Gemini ou outras IAs conversacionais.
Para obter melhores resultados:

• copie o prompt;
• cole na ferramenta de IA de sua preferência;
• responda sempre em Inglês;
• peça feedback sobre seus erros;
• repita a atividade mudando apenas o contexto.

Assim, você transforma um simples comando em uma sessão completa de prática do idioma.

1. Pratique conversação em tempo real
Uma das maiores vantagens da IA é poder conversar em Língua Inglesa sempre que quiser. Além disso, você pode praticar diferentes situações do cotidiano sem sentir vergonha de cometer erros.
Esse recurso funciona especialmente bem no aplicativo para celular utilizando o modo de voz.

Prompt para simular um restaurante

• “Can you pretend to be a waiter at a restaurant and take my order?” (Você pode fingir ser um garçom em um restaurante e anotar o meu pedido?)

⭐Desafio extra
Depois de dominar esse cenário, aumente a dificuldade.

• “Can you pretend to be a difficult customer while I play the waiter?” (Você pode fingir ser um cliente difícil enquanto eu faço o papel de garçom?)

Além disso, experimente adaptar esse mesmo prompt para situações como hotel, aeroporto, supermercado ou consulta médica. Dessa forma, você amplia seu vocabulário naturalmente.

2. Aprenda vocabulário em contexto
Em vez de decorar listas enormes de palavras, procure aprender expressões completas dentro de situações reais. Assim, o aprendizado se torna muito mais significativo.

Prompt para pedir expressões sobre um tema
“Can you give me 10 useful phrases for talking about movies?” (Você pode me dar 10 frases úteis para falar sobre filmes?)

👉Passo seguinte
Depois de receber a lista, peça que a IA utilize essas expressões em uma conversa.

• “Now, create a short dialogue where these expressions are used naturally.” (Agora, crie um diálogo curto onde essas expressões sejam usadas naturalmente.)

Como resultado, você aprenderá não apenas novas palavras, mas também a maneira correta de utilizá-las.

3. Melhore sua escrita em Língua Inglesa
A IA também pode funcionar como revisora dos seus textos. Portanto, aproveite esse recurso para corrigir e-mails, mensagens e redações.

Prompt para corrigir um texto

• “I wrote this email to him. Can you correct my grammar and suggest better vocabulary?” (Escrevi este e-mail para ele. Você pode corrigir minha gramática e sugerir um vocabulário melhor?)

⭐Desafio extra
Depois da correção, peça uma versão mais sofisticada.

• “Rewrite this paragraph using more advanced vocabulary.” (Reescreva este parágrafo usando um vocabulário mais avançado.)

Além disso, solicite que a IA explique cada correção. Assim, você entenderá seus erros e evitará repeti-los no futuro.

4. Faça quizzes personalizados
Outra maneira excelente de estudar é testar seus conhecimentos com pequenos desafios. Afinal, revisar o conteúdo de forma ativa ajuda muito mais na memorização.

Prompt para revisar verbos irregulares

• “Can you quiz me on 10 common irregular verbs with example sentences?” (Você pode me fazer um quiz sobre 10 verbos irregulares comuns com frases de exemplo?)

🌟Desafio rápido
Se quiser um desafio maior, experimente este comando:

• “Can you create a five-minute grammar challenge using only past tense questions and explain the correct answers?” (Você pode criar um desafio de gramática de cinco minutos usando apenas perguntas no passado e explicar as respostas corretas?)

Além disso, você pode pedir quizzes sobre qualquer assunto, como phrasal verbs, tempos verbais, preposições ou vocabulário específico.

5. Simule entrevistas de emprego e situações de viagem
Falar Inglês em situações importantes pode gerar ansiedade. No entanto, a prática antecipada aumenta sua confiança e melhora seu desempenho.

Prompt para entrevista de emprego

• “Can you pretend to be a job interviewer and ask me common interview questions?” (Você pode fingir ser um entrevistador de emprego e me fazer perguntas comuns de entrevista?)

🌞Desafio avançado
Quando estiver mais confiante, peça um feedback detalhado.

• “Ask me tough interview questions, then tell me what I did wrong and how I can improve.” (Faça perguntas difíceis de entrevista, depois me diga o que eu errei e como posso melhorar.)

Da mesma forma, você pode adaptar esse prompt para imigração, check-in de hotel, aluguel de carro ou qualquer outra situação de viagem.

Aproveite ainda mais os prompts para INGLÊS
Agora que você conhece diversos prompts para estudar a Língua Inglesa, personalize cada comando de acordo com seus interesses. Por exemplo, peça diálogos sobre seus hobbies, sua profissão ou assuntos que você gosta de estudar.
Além disso, lembre-se de que a Inteligência Artificial oferece respostas praticamente ilimitadas. Portanto, quanto mais específicas forem as suas solicitações, mais útil será a prática.
O mais importante é manter uma rotina consistente. Mesmo alguns minutos por dia podem fazer uma grande diferença no seu desenvolvimento.
