Write a concise recommendation (120–150 words) in English to your local council evaluating two examples of English used publicly in your community (e.g., shop signs, menus, ads). For each example, assess one benefit and one possible misunderstanding, then propose a single actionable recommendation.

Resposta esperada

In my neighbourhood I notice two frequent uses of English: café menus using terms like 'latte' and retail windows advertising 'clearance sale.' The café terms can attract tourists and standardize beverage names, but some older residents may not recognise loanwords and feel excluded. 'Clearance sale' draws customers with the promise of discounts, yet without clear details shoppers can misunderstand conditions or assume special imports. I recommend the council require businesses to pair prevalent English terms with a brief Portuguese explanation on public-facing materials (two to five words). This preserves commercial appeal and international vocabulary while improving accessibility and reducing potential confusion for local users.

Explicação

A resposta aborda dois exemplos específicos de uso do inglês na comunidade, destacando um benefício e uma possível confusão para cada um. Além disso, apresenta uma recomendação prática que visa melhorar a compreensão e a acessibilidade para todos os residentes. Essa estrutura clara e objetiva atende aos critérios da questão, demonstrando análise crítica e propostas construtivas.
