   A Brazilian company has agreed to pay nearly $ 7 billion in compensation after a dam collapsed at one of its mines in Brazil two years ago, killing 270 people and causing huge damage to the local environment.
  The settlement with the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais, which was announced on Thursday, is the largest in the country’s history, according to local media. The Court of Justice of Minas Gerais mediated the agreement, which will provide funds for affected communities, emergency aid and resources for urban mobility.
  In January 2019, a dam holding waste water from the company’s iron ore mine in the town of Brumadinho burst, burying the workers’ cafeteria and dozens of homes under a toxic wave of sludge. It also polluted local rivers.
   Minas Gerais, a state whose name translates to “general mines”, is a mining hub in the southeast of Brazil. The 2019 disaster came after another mining dam in the state burst in November 2015, inundating the small village of Mariana and killing 19 people.
   “Our company is committed to fully repair and compensate the damage caused by the tragedy in Brumadinho and to increasingly contribute to the improvement and development of the communities in which we operate,” the company’s CEO said in a statement.
   In 2016, a mining company reached a deal with the Brazilian government to pay up to 24 billion reais ($ 6,2 billion) over the Mariana dam collapse.
   The disasters, which left thousands of families in mourning, have renewed scrutiny of the company’s practices and of environmental regulations in Minas Gerais.
   The company involved in the Brumadinho disaster has said that since the latest breach two years ago, it has tried to work with “the impacted families, providing assistance to restore their dignity, well-being and livelihoods.”
   “In addition to meeting the most immediate needs of the affected people and regions, it is also working to deliver projects that promote lasting change to recover communities and benefit the population effectively,” the company said in its statement.

    O acordo com Minas Gerais, anunciado quinta-feira, é o maior da história do país, segundo a mídia local. ”

    Correto

  • CERTO

    Errei pois cai na pegadinha de que:

    "In 2016, a mining company reached a deal with the Brazilian government to pay up to 24 billion reais ($ 6,2 billion) over the Mariana dam collapse."

    “Em 2016, uma mineradora fechou um acordo com o governo brasileiro para pagar até 24 bilhões de reais (US $ 6,2 bilhões) pelo rompimento da barragem de Mariana.

    O que eu fiz? Comparei o parágrafo acima (que estava em dólares, com esse parágrafo em reais, logo pensei: 7 billion é menor que um acordo anterior de 24 billion, mas era $ 7 billion (dólares) que era maior que o acordo anterior de $ 6,2 billion (dólares).

    Sem contar que o próprio texto fala que o acordo de 7 billion " is the largest in the country’s history, according to local media. "é o maior da história do país, de acordo com a mídia local. "

    Meu erro de interpretação! Alguém errou assim? kkkkkk

  • Trata-se de questão de interpretação de texto. A partir da leitura e compreensão do texto, o candidato deve julgar como CERTA ou ERRADA a seguinte assertiva: There has never been such a large compensation agreement before in Brazil like the one mentioned in the text.

    Em breve resumo, o texto discorre sobre o desastre de Brumandinho, em razão do rompimento de uma barragem que segurava águas residuais da mina de minério de ferro da empresa, com foco no acordo de indenização pelos danos ocasionados.

    CERTO. De fato, nunca houve um acordo de indenização dessa monta no Brasil. É o que podemos ler no seguinte trecho: “The settlement with the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais, which was announced on Thursday, is the largest in the country's history, according to local media."

    Gabarito do Professor: CERTO.
