2nd English class

 Hello everybody, are you fine? 

In this second class we study this text :

                                                   English is the language of science

If you're already dreaming in English, I mean it's like you're already there.

Definitely in science you find all the documentation - books, conferences,

proceedings and all the literature out there is mainly in English. All the top

journals are English-speaking journals or English written journals or the

communication at international top meetings are in English. The core

information exchange platform is English. If you want to find out what the top

scientists in the world are doing, you need to know English. I think Fraunhofer is         

well known for its development of the mp3 technology and disease control in

agriculture, the application of nanotechnology and we're using bio-computing to

do data analysis of large data sets. At Fraunhofer, English is a must. You're

guaranteed to have to communicate with people in English almost on a daily

basis. We had an employee who we would really like to hire but his English

proficiency isn't very good and he needs to work on a project which involves

European partners. I have a lot of stories of people that either A) don't even dare

to apply for jobs or B) they apply for jobs but they don't get them because they

can't even go through an interview. There are issues about communications

based on many people's inability to be fluent in English. We definitely need

English skills here. English has really helped me to communicate with people not

only in Germany and also here in Chile, but with people from different

backgrounds. Learning English has granted me the opportunity to work in a

more innovative, uh, environment. Without English it would be impossible to

play any role on international collaborations like the one which we have in here

in Chile.

1) De acordo com o texto quais as razões que tornam o inglês essencial para a ciência?

2) Write a very brief paragraph (5-10 lines) about what you have learned today about science.
