Anthony Harrington, American Ambassador in
Brazil
From 1999 through 2001

"Because I departed my post less than a year
ago, the changes have been neither entirely
monumental nor unforeseen. Most prominently
perhaps, Brazil has faced the effects of the severe
economic challenges of neighboring Argentina,
together with an international slow-down. Two
things stand out in this regard: first, Brazil is
weathering the storm better than most observers
anticipated, primarily because Brazil, under
President Cardoso, has already implemented
much of the key reform with which others are
struggling. Secondly, Brazil is uniquely positioned
and well-disposed to play a constructive role in
helping its neighbor through this storm.
Otherwise, I am pleased that Presidents Bush
and Cardoso are off to a positive start in their
relationship, beginning with an early visit in
Washington before I left Brasilia and another good
meeting recently".

  • I am pleased that Presidents Bush and Cardoso ... beginning with an early VISIT IN WASHINGTON before I left Brasilia...
  • The right answer is "have already met."Usamos o "Present Perfect"(have/has+past participle) para expressar uma ação que ocorreu no passado, mas que não mencionamos o tempo, ou seja, o que aconteceu foi mais importante do que quando aconteceu.Ex:I've been to America. I have been to the National Gallery in London. Has she tasted that dish?Podemos também usar o "present perfect" para expressar uma ação que começou no passado e que continua até o presente momento.Usamos palavras que indicam a duração da ação, o momento que começou.... como: since, for, ever, already, yet, just...Ex.I have been here for hours. They have had that car since they got married.
  • have already met

  • beginning with an early visit in Washington before I left Brasilia and another good meeting recently".
