Uma das melhores técnicas para estudar inglês é ler notícias em jornais estrangeiros. Além de se manter atualizado, você tem a oportunidade de assimilar vocabulário variado, buscando expressões, phrasal verbs, jargões e estruturas gramaticais relevantes para uma boa comunicação.

A notícia do momento são os e-mails que o filho de Donald Trump trocou com uma advogada ligada ao governo da Rússia, divulgados pelo jornal "The New York Times". O primogênito do presidente americano negociou informações que poderiam prejudicar a rival do pai nas eleições de 2016, Hillary Clinton. A revelação pode dar munição a investigadores que analisam se houve conluio entre o Kremlin e a campanha presidencial de Trump.

Que tal se informar sobre o episódio e ainda testar seu inglês? Ontem, no Twitter, Trump Jr divulgou uma nota sobre o caso. Confira o texto a seguir e escolha as alternativas corretas para preencher as lacunas:
