Today, we’re going to watch a video about the Amazon and an indigenous tribe there, and the work the tribe’s chief has done to combat deforestation and to use technology to connect his tribe to the world and to protect the environment. Part of the video is in Portuguese with English subtitles, and the other part involves simultaneous translation, so you’ll have to pay attention to make sure you understand.
Here are some questions to answer to see how well you understood!
1. How do you say “in the past,” according to the video?
2. The chief mentions using an “arco e flecha.” What is this in English?
3. What is “wisdom” in Portuguese?
4. How do you say “tool” or “instrument” in Portuguese?
5. What is “floresta” in English?
6. How do you say “alliance” or “partnership” in Portuguese?
Note: questions go up until 13:00.
