After today’s lesson we will all feel like we need to go back to elementary school, unless of course you already know how to calculate the area of a trapezoid. Just kidding, but after this lesson you will be able to identify some basic shapes in Portuguese.DialogueA: Você é professora do primário, não é? B: Sou sim, adoro meu trabalho. A: E o que você está ensinado agora? B: Bom, essa semana estamos aprendendo as formas básicas: quadrado, retângulo, círculo, triângulo, etc. A: E as crianças gostam? B: Gostam, mas para alguns é difícil de entender a diferença entre paralelogramo e trapézios. A: Eu também nunca entendia bem essas diferenças. B: Bom, se precisar, pode voltar para a escola primária também, meu amigo!A: You are an elementary school teacher, right? B: Yes, I am, I love my job. A: And what are you teaching now? B: Well, this week we are learning the basic shapes: square, rectangle, circle, triangle, etc. A: Do the children like it? B: They do, but for some it is difficult to understand the difference between parallelogram and trapezoid. A: I never understood those differences very well either.
