TEXT II
Starting a new job
by Rose Walker
“You just got the phone call and the position
is yours. It’s been a long time since you have
started a new job and you need to prepare yourself
for it. Will you really like your new position?
How will the people treat you and can you get
along with them? These are some of the questions
that might run through your mind when you start a
new job. Before you start your new position you need
to get in the right frame of mind, so you can do
the best job you can do.
The first step in preparation for this new
journey is to let all your fears go. Don’t walk into
a new job with fear. This will keep you from
being productive. Having negative thoughts about
your new job will become a reality and this will
cause problems right there. Stay in the same frame
of mind you had when you applied for the
position. This was something that you obviously
wanted to do and was excited about doing. Keep
those same thoughts and attitude when you
actually start working your new job. By keeping
that attitude you will eliminate a lot of your
problems in the beginning with this new position.
Your way of thinking will become your way of
acting. Do a thorough research on your new
company so you can understand what they do and
how you will play a part in it.
Have a good understanding about the
company in full detail so it will give you that ease
you need to have for you to succeed. This will
allow you to have the confidence you will need to
start this new job and you won’t feel so lost when
you start interacting with your co-workers. Having
the right attitude will allow you to get along with
your co-workers even better. Everyone when they
start a new job is considered the new kid on the
block. This can make you feel left out right there,
since everyone usually know everyone else and
already have a comfort zone with each other. You
have to let them know by being in the right frame
of mind when you start that you can work with each and every one of them. If you come in with
that fear, it’s going to seem like you are a
unfriendly person and automatically no one will
want to have anything to do with you. This will be
a bad way to start off on your new job. You plan
to be there for awhile and communicating with
your co-workers on a daily base. Your attitude and the way you present
yourself in the beginning is very important. It will
determine how your relationship will be throughout the job. Getting along with your boss and coworkers is important, it can help you to succeed or
be one of the causes to make you want to leave.
Starting a new job can be a wonderful
experience. Sure all of us are nervous about
stepping into a new environment and meeting and
dealing with new people. That’s what’s so
exciting about it, everything is new. You have to
look at it as a new journey in your life and not a
dreaded trip that you have to make. Erase all those
negative thoughts and fears you have so you can
go in with a positive attitude that will let you be a
positive person. Let this be a new spectacular and
fantastic time in your life. When you stop and
prepare yourself mentally for your new job, you
will be a success at it.”

Gabarito comentado

Gabarito: A
Fundamento decisivo: O critério decisivo é o confronto semântico direto entre as sentenças e trechos explícitos do texto: I é falsa porque “not important” inverte a ideia de “Have a good understanding about the company in full detail...”; II é verdadeira porque coincide com “Your way of thinking will become your way of acting.”; III é verdadeira porque corresponde a “The first step in preparation for this new journey is to let all your fears go.”. Esse confronto leva ao padrão F-T-T, que confirma a alternativa A.
Tema central: Julgamento por confronto textual
Análise das alternativas
A
Certa
A alternativa A está correta porque é a única que corresponde ao valor de verdade das três sentenças segundo o texto. A I é falsa, pois o texto afirma a importância de compreender bem a empresa: “Have a good understanding about the company in full detail...”. A II é verdadeira, porque aparece no texto literalmente: “Your way of thinking will become your way of acting.” A III também é verdadeira, pois reproduz o conteúdo expresso em “The first step in preparation for this new journey is to let all your fears go.”
B
Errada
Está errada porque marca I como verdadeira e II como falsa. Em I, há oposição direta ao texto: a negação “not important” inverte o sentido da orientação explícita de compreender bem a empresa. Em II, não há margem para negar, pois a sentença é reprodução literal do texto.
C
Errada
Está errada porque considera I verdadeira. O texto sustenta o contrário de I ao recomendar pesquisa detalhada e boa compreensão da empresa; portanto, a presença de “not” torna a sentença incompatível com o conteúdo expresso.
D
Errada
Está errada porque considera II falsa. Isso contraria o critério de correspondência literal, já que “Your way of thinking will become your way of acting.” está textual e expressamente no texto.
E
Errada
Está errada porque trata II e III como falsas. II é sustentada literalmente pelo texto, e III é sustentada por paráfrase direta do trecho que define o primeiro passo da preparação como deixar os medos irem embora.
Pegadinha da questão
A confusão real está em I, porque a palavra “not” inverte completamente o sentido do texto, e em II e III, porque uma é citação literal e a outra é paráfrase muito próxima, o que exige leitura de compatibilidade, não de impressão geral.
Dica para questões semelhantes
- Em itens de T/F com texto de apoio, verifique primeiro se a frase é literal, parafraseada ou contradita por negação.
- Dê atenção especial a palavras que invertem sentido, como “not”, porque elas podem tornar falsa uma sentença baseada em trecho verdadeiro.
- Quando o texto usa formulação expressa como “the first step”, trate isso como critério objetivo para validar ou excluir alternativas.
