Legendary photographer Sebastião Salgado dies at 81 Sebastião Salgado, regarded as one of the world's greatest documentary photographers, has died at the age of 81. The Brazil-born photographer was known for his dramatic and unflinching black-and-white images of hardship, conflict and natural beauty, captured in 130 countries over 55 years. His hard-hitting photos chronicled major global events such as the Rwanda genocide in 1994 […] "His lens revealed the world and its contradictions; his life, the power of transformative action," said a statement from Instituto Terra, the environmental organisation he founded with his wife, Lélia Wanick Salgado. Some of his most striking pictures were taken in his home country, including epic photos of thousands of desperate figures working in open-cast gold mines and striking images of the indigenous people of the Amazon. […] Salgado's final major project, Amazônia, spotlighted the rainforest's beauty and fragility. A lifelong advocate for the Amazon's indigenous people, Salgado documented the daily lives of a dozen of the tribes scattered throughout the rainforest […]. He spent seven years on an ambitious photographic journey, exploring the remote reaches of the Amazon rainforest and documenting its inhabitants. The project culminated in an exhibition showcasing over 200 black-andwhite images, offering a poignant glimpse into the region's landscapes and communities. The Amazônia exhibition was displayed at the Science Museum in London and at the Science and Industry Museum in Manchester in 2021 and 2022. "Sometimes I ask myself, "Sebastião, was it really you that went to all these places?"' he said to an interviewer last year. "Was it really me that spent years travelling to 130 different countries, who went deep inside the forests, into oil fields and mines? "Boy, it really is me who did this. I'm probably one of the photographers who's created the most work in the history of photography." Born in 1944, Salgado left a career in economics to start as a photographer in 1973. He worked on international assignments for a variety of photography agencies before forming his own, Amazonas Images, with Lélia in 1994. He received the Sony World Photography Awards' Outstanding Contribution to Photography in 2024. Other accolades included the Prince of Asturias Award and recognition as a Unicef Goodwill Ambassador. Through the Instituto Terra, Salgado and Lélia also restored his father's farm in Brazil to thriving rainforest by planting more than three million trees. The institute's statement added: "Sebastião was much more than one of the greatest photographers of our time. "Alongside his life partner, Lélia Deluiz Wanick Salgado, he sowed hope where there was devastation and brought to life the belief that environmental restoration is also a profound act of love for humanity.” Adaptado de: YOUNGS, Ian.

‘Get down from the car’ and other Miami expressions A new study by Florida International University (FIU) examines ‘Miami English’ “Get down from the car.” If this expression doesn’t ring a bell, you’re probably not from Miami. Some expressions unique to the Miamians are evidence a distinct dialect is emerging in South Florida, according to new research by Florida International University (FIU) recently published in English World Wide. It’s a common phenomenon in other regions of the world when two languages come into close contact. In this case, Spanish sayings are being “borrowed” and directly translated into English — then passed down and used by generations who are bilingual. “When we conduct research like this, it’s a reminder there aren’t ‘real’ words or ‘pretend’ words. There are only words. And all the words come from somewhere and someplace,” said FIU sociolinguist Phillip Carter, the study’s lead author. “Every word has a history. That goes for all words spoken in Miami.” For nearly a decade, Carter has researched Miami English — a variety of English with subtle structural influence from Spanish, mostly spoken by second-, third- or fourth-generation native English speakers. He previously studied how it sounds. This time, he examined how words are used. Specifically, calques — when a speaker directly translates an expression from one language, considered the “source language” into another language. This is what’s happening in Miami. Spanish expressions are being introduced into English. The differences can be subtle. For example, “bajar del carro” becomes “get down from the car” — not “get out of the car.” And “una empanada de carne” becomes “meat empanada” instead of the more specific “beef empanada,” because in Spanish, “carne” can refer to all meat (including chicken and pork) or specifically just to beef. “There’s not a single language that doesn’t have words borrowed from another language,” Carter said. “Borrowing is an inescapable reality of the world’s languages. When you have two languages spoken by most of the population, you’re going to have a lot of interesting language contact happening.” […] Adaptado de: FTL Staff.

Orange skies are the future. Prepare yourself. Our photographer who has covered over 125 wildfires shares tips on how to prepare for smoke-filled skies As climate change drives an increase in wildfires, we’re seeing more smoke lofted into the upper atmosphere each fire season. Depending on wind and weather, this smoke can spread hundreds or thousands of miles from its source — as we saw this week on the U.S. East Coast. And we’re likely to continue seeing it increase in severity, frequency, and longevity as the planet warms. As a photographer who has photographed over 125 wildfires in California over the last decade, I’ve gleaned some helpful tips and best practices for how to reduce exposure to harmful air once it reaches a town near you. [...] So, what can you do? An individual is powerless to change the weather or control where smoke goes, but there are things you can do to prepare and protect yourself from the worst of it. [...] If you have the luxury of an indoor job or remote work, staying inside gives you better control over the air environment. Those working outside should limit their physical activity, and while guidelines are being developed for outdoor air quality, some states like Washington even require workers to be provided with masks on extremely poor air days. Wear a NIOSH-approved* N95 or better mask outdoors. The best mask should have two straps, one that goes above your ears, and the other below, for a better face seal to ensure you don’t suck in any smoke particles when you inhale. [...] Take care of your eyes. Over-the-counter generic eye drops are great for bloodshot eyes irritated by particulate matter, and will help lubricate the surface of the eye and aid in flushing away contaminants. *NIOSH: National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health. Adaptado de: PALLEY, Stuart. Orange skies are the future. Prepare yourself. National Geographic, 09/06/2023. Disponível em: <https://www.nationalgeogra phic.com/environment/article/wildfire-smoke-exposure-protection-tips>. Acesso em: 10/06/2023. Vocabulário (neste contexto): - filled: cheio; - increase: aumento; - spread: espalhar-se; - glean: reunir; - harmful: nocivo, prejudicial; - guidelines: diretrizes; - over-the-counter: de venda livre (sem a necessidade de receita médica). Considerando aspectos gramaticais da língua inglesa, assinale o que for correto.

01)No título do texto há duas orações. A primeira está no Simple Present. Já a segunda contém um verbo no imperativo.
02)No primeiro período do texto (em negrito), há um verbo no Present Continuous (“we’re seeing”), que poderia ser traduzido por “estamos vendo”.
04)No subtítulo do texto, temos uma main clause (oração principal) no simple present (“our photographer shares tips on how to prepare for smoke-filled skies”) e uma non-defining relative clause (oração subordinada adjetiva explicativa) no present perfect (“who has covered over 125 wildfires”).
08)O termo powerless, destacado em negrito, é um adjetivo e poderia ser substituído, sem prejuízo de sentido, por impotent.
