Caros Alunos,
 O compromisso com a educação de todos que compõem a sociedade reflete a prática fiel e co-
tidiana do exercício da cidadania.
Nós, que fazemos a Universidade de Pernambuco (UPE), buscamos, em nosso dia a dia, através da 
implantação de projetos e de outros procedimentos, honrar esses compromissos com vistas a inserir 
o homem em seu contexto social, celebrando a sua dignidade, promovendo ações que resultem na 
construção do homem pelo próprio homem.
 Respaldada nesses propósitos e fundamentos, a UPE, através do Instituto de Apoio à Universi-
dade de Pernambuco (IAUPE), persiste numa caminhada crescente, voltada a ampliar conhecimentos 
especificamente nas áreas de línguas e de tecnologia da informação, por estar ciente da relevância que 
essas assumem na contemporaneidade.
 Com esse objetivo, foi criado, em 2002, o Programa de Línguas e Informática (Prolinfo), atividade 
de extensão universitária que oportuniza o acesso à educação aos pernambucanos. A oferta de cursos 
nas áreas de Português para concursos e vestibulares (Prolinfo Aprova), Inglês para crianças (Prolinfi-
nho) e para adultos, Espanhol, Informática, além de pós-graduações lato sensu, comprova os princípios 
e a filosofia que permeiam o perfil de uma Universidade visivelmente comprometida com a excelência 
em todos os segmentos de que é partícipe.
 Ao mesmo tempo em que tem a missão de contribuir com a nova sociedade do conhecimento, 
o Prolinfo atua como campo de prática pedagógica a alunos de graduação e pós-graduação que dese-
jam ter a experiência em sala de aula. São professores acompanhados diariamente por uma equipe de 
coordenadores, todos dedicados a um só propósito: que você, aluno, construa o seu aprendizado da 
forma mais completa possível.
Boas aulas!

Job Interviews
For many people it is not so easy to go well in job’s interview. Sometimes they get nervous and 
they can’t answer the questions correctly or truly.
Psychologists prepare simple or puzzle questions about what people can do or can’t do, 
according to what they see in the curriculums. They also ask questions about people’s life and 
sometimes the applicants lie to get the job.
But psychologists are not stupid. They can guess their answers according to their personalities 
traits. Then, you can answer everything in a job interview. However, it doesn’t mean you can 
get the job.

6. Read the text and then answer the questions:
Halloween is a time of celebration and superstition. In some American states it’s more 
celebrated than Easter and Christmas combined!
The American Halloween tradition of “trick-or-treating” and the dressing of costumes 
were both European and Celtic roots. The Celts were the most superstitious people of 
ancient times. They believed that evil spirits came to earth during the long winter nights. 
So, on the last night before winter, they made bonfires and wore ugly costumes to scare 
the evil spirits away.
Modern Halloween is less scary than it was in the past. At Halloween parties there are 
prizes for the most beautiful costumes.
