Are video games the next big college sport?

New kinds of competitors are joining student athletes at colleges and universities around the country. But not everyone agrees that these video game players are taking part in a sport. Sports are an established part of college life and a source of income for some schools. The football stadium at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, for example, holds over 107,000 people. It is one of the largest sports stadiums in the world!

Like most traditional college sports, video game competitions involve two or more teams of students officially representing their schools. Team members wear clothing with their names and school colors. They even have coaches giving them advice on how best to win.

However, there is no running or jumping or hitting other players. In fact, these new events are different from any traditional athletic activity. They are called esports, and they take place not in the real world, but in computers or other video game systems.

Professional video game competitions have been popular around the world for years. Teams and individuals compete for prize money and awards in strategic military combat games like Starcraft and one-on-one fighting games like Street Fighter.

Gabarito Comentado – Inglês (Vestibular)

Tema central: Interpretação de texto (aspectos linguísticos) aliados aos conceitos de vocabulário (phrasal verbs, pronomes, advérbios) e função textual (contraste).

Análise da alternativa correta (E):

A frase “However, there is no running or jumping or hitting other players”, introduzida pelo advérbio de contraste “However”, demarca uma diferença importante: enquanto esportes tradicionais envolvem atividades físicas (running, jumping, hitting), os esports (videogames) não possuem essas características. Ou seja, o texto realça explicitamente a diferença entre eventos de videogame e esportes tradicionais. Isso corresponde exatamente ao que descreve a alternativa E, tornando-a CORRETA.

Conceito-chave: Reconheça palavras e expressões que marcam contraste (“However”, “but”, “on the other hand”), pois costumam evidenciar diferenças — informação sempre cobrada em vestibulares.

Análise das alternativas incorretas:

A) Erro quanto ao pronome possessivo: “their” refere-se a students, não à competição. Pronomes possessivos sempre remetem ao possuidor mais lógico e próximo (neste caso, os estudantes).

B) Erro de phrasal verbs e significados: “taking part” = participar, “take place” = acontecer, mas “holds over” está equivocada (não é phrasal verb aqui; “holds” = comporta/cabe no estádio).

C) Tradução inadequada: “even” = “até mesmo”, e não “ainda assim” (even enfatiza algo inesperado, não tem relação com concessão).

D) Confusão de classes gramaticais: “representing” é verbo (gerúndio); “clothing” é substantivo, não verbo.

Estratégia de prova: Sempre relacione cada palavra-chave (principalmente pronomes e conectores) ao seu referente real, e note as nuances do texto. Atenção aos falsos cognatos e ao sentido exato de expressões idiomáticas!
