Exam Info
The PUC exam

Portuguese, history, geography, chemistry, physics, English, biology and
history, 10 of each subject. The exam subscription can be done from November 3rd
until November 25th. The tests will occur in December 5th
and December 6th (Saturday and Sunday).
English Exam
In English Exams that our group analyzed, there
were only articles. Each article has 5 questions related to. Consequently every exam has 2 articles. The
most questions are about interpreting the texts but the grammar questions are
significant too. The vocabulary questions appear less. The questions exams
don’t follow any pattern because the type of questions varies a lot. For
example, in the 2013 exam we had 6 questions about comprehension, 1 about grammar
and 3 about vocabulary. Although, in 2014 we had 8 about comprehension and 2
about grammar and in 2015 we had 4 about comprehension, 4 grammar and 4 about
vocabulary. In general 1 article talks about science and the other about
curiosities. One tip we can give is to
read the questions before reading the whole text.
In most of the cases the vocabulary questions
are about changing one word for other that has the same meaning. To do these
questions the persons has to have a bit of knowledge about vocabulary. If the
person doesn’t have this knowledge the questions can be difficult.
The grammar questions, in most cases, are
related to substitutions and definitions of words and to knowing what each word
introduces the idea of. For example: “According to the text, the expression
“therefore” (line 27) introduces a/an…” .
All the grammar questions are related to the articles. To do the grammar
questions successfully you need to know the topics learned on high school.
QUESTIONS
The text
is from the test of PUCRS/2012.
The symbols, the memory and the history of the
Olympic Games are an important legacy, since
the
material things created strengthen the image of
the
event in the local population’s memory, along
with the
memory of viewers everywhere who have watched
the
competitions. They also represent a source of
income
as they are goods sold during the event.
One of the most effective ways to ensure that
the host city will get the legacy of the Olympic Games is to
have the population participate in planning the
work
to be done. It is the very community who knows
what
a neighborhood needs, in terms of facilities,
and how
these can be of use after the event. The best
legacy is
the one that is incorporated into the life of and
brings
benefits to the community. The organization
process
shared with the community may give the legacy a
meaningful dimension. Learning how to discuss
the
needs of the community, democratically facing
the
differences in interests, and gathering partnerships
for
the viability of projects are unique
experiences which
can alter the relationship of the population
with their
politicians in a dramatic way.

Skills Necessary to Become a Farmer
Just because someone hopes to become a farmer,
doesn’t mean they have what it takes. Below is a list of skills and attributes
aspiring farmers need in order to succeed in the business of farming.
* An awareness of business management basics:
Successful farmers must be well versed in various areas of business management,
such as budgeting, marketing, management and other areas.
* Knowing the business of farming: Farmers must
possess an understanding of the business of farming as a whole. They must be
able to monitor economic trends, advances in farming technology and maintain a
current awareness of relevant legislation.
* Have a good attitude: Farming is one career
where one cannot afford to be “checked out”. Farmers must enjoy doing what they
do for a living, as it is not the type of job you can simply show up for and
run out the clock.
* Financial management skills: Farmers must be
able to effectively manage cash flow., ensuring that funding is available for
improvements, growth and recession. They must also have a solid understanding
of the financial cost associated with running a farming business.
* Time management skills: This doesn’t simply
refer to day-to-day time management, although that is certainly part of it.
Farming is seasonal work, and farmers must be able to properly manage their
duties from one season to the next in order to operate efficiently.
* Record keeping: Farming is more than tilling
and plowing, it also involves a fair amount of paperwork, record keeping and
reporting. Farmers must ensure they maintain accurate records of their business
activities.
