Ler ajuda a escrever?

Os olhos do leitor sustentam as mãos do escritor. A leitura e a escrita estão intimamente ligadas porque a primeira nutre a segunda.

É praticamente impossível que um leitor sensível não se torne um bom escritor. Quem lê norteia sua escrita sobre três pilares: o da criticidade, o do conhecimento e o da apreensão da língua. Quanto ao pilar da criticidade, podemos dizer que a leitura crítica permite-nos uma melhor compreensão da intrincada realidade que vivemos: ler o mundo é engendrar o humano. Já o conhecimento é desvelado a quem lê num encontro cosmogônico, ou seja, pela leitura o universo se abre ao homem. Finalmente, no diálogo linguístico, o leitor encontrará o sêmen que fecundará a criação transfigurada na escrita.

Assim, podemos dizer que a leitura é mestra-mãe da escrita, ela alimenta em seu seio o texto que nasce.

Deforestation has recently been recognized as a global problem. Even today, governments and individuals believe that only the countries using up their forests will be affected by it. However, scientists are convinced that the world’s forests must be preserved. They base their conviction on scientific data that prove the importance of forests to all people everywhere.

Aviation &Environment

In the early days of the jet age, speed and luxury were the drivers of intercontinental travel.

Today, our engines are at the cutting edge of efficiency. Our aircraft are more aerodynamic and lighter than ever before. Moreover, we are making huge improvements in our air traffic control efficiency, how we fly our aircraft and in developing more environmentally-friendly operations at airports. But we are still using the same fuel. That’s about to change. The world is turning to governments and business to reduce the human impact on climate change. And the aviation is about to embark on a new journey.

Sustainable biofuels are crucial to providing a cleaner source of fuel to power the world’s fleet of aircraft and help the billions of people who travel by air each year to lower the impact of their journey on our planet.
