TEXT I 

There's nowhere like Scotland. Scotland is a country in a country. It is part of Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales), and of the United Kingdom (England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland).

Scotland is in the far northwest of Europe, between the Atlantic Ocean and the North Sea. It is often cold and grey, and it often rains a lot. But the people of Scotland love their country, and many visitors to Scotland love it too. They love the beautiful hills and mountains of the north, the sea and the eight hundred islands, and the six cities: Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen, Dundee, Inverness and Stirling. The country is special, and Scottish people are special too: often warm and friendly.

There are about five million people in Scotland. Most Scots live in the south, in or near the big cities of Edinburgh and Glasgow. Most of the north of the country is very empty; not many people live there.

A Scottish person is also called a Scot, but you cannot talk about a Scotch person: Scotch means whisky, a drink made in Scotland. Scottish people are British, because Scotland is part of Great Britain, but you must not call Scottish people English! The Scots and the English are different.

These days everyone in Scotland speaks English. But, at one time, people in the north and west of Scotland did not speak English. They had a different language, a beautiful language called Gaelic. About 60,000 people, 1% of the people in Scotland, speak Gaelic now. But many more want Gaelic in their lives because it is part of the story of Scotland.

  • Sobre as pessoas / população da Escócia, é correto dizer que
    A) geralmente são amigáveis e gentis. Correto, conforme linha 6. (The country is special, and Scottish people are special too: often warm and friendly.) O país é especial, e o povo escocês também é especial: são geralmente calorosos e amigáveis.
    B) a maioria deles vive no norte. Errado, conforme linha 7. (There are about five million people in Scotland. Most Scots live in the south, in or near the big cities of Edinburgh and Glasgow.) Existem cerca de cinco milhões de pessoas na Escócia. A maioria dos escoceses vive no sul ou nas grandes cidades de Edimburgo e Glasgow.
    C) também são chamados de escoceses. Errado, conforme trecho do quarto parágrafo. [...] Scotch means whisky, a drink made in Scotland. Scottish people are British, because Scotland is part of Great Britain, but you must not call Scottish people English!) [...] escocês significa uísque, uma bebida feita na Escócia. O povo escocês é britânico, porque a Escócia faz parte da Grã-Bretanha, mas você não deve chamar o povo escocês de inglês!
    D) não falam inglês. Errado, conforme primeira linha do último parágrafo. (These days everyone in Scotland speaks English.) Hoje em dia, todos na Escócia falam inglês.
    E) ninguém mais fala gaélico escocês. Errado. Conforme último parágrafo, 1% ainda fala. (They had a different language, a beautiful language called Gaelic. About 60,000 people, 1% of the people in Scotland, speak Gaelic now.) Eles tinham um idioma diferente, um idioma bonito chamado gaélico. Cerca de 60.000 pessoas, 1% das pessoas na Escócia, falam gaélico agora.

  • No terceiro paragrafo está escrito ''and Scottish people are special too: often warm and friendly.'' o que significa: ''e o povo escocês também é especial: eles são geralmente calorosos e amigáveis"
