Um percurso diferente

The path beside the river had reopened after several weeks of repairs, so we decided to try it on our way to the sports centre. A notice warned cyclists to slow down near the narrow bridge, where people on foot had priority. We'd left earlier than usual, which meant there was no need to hurry. Halfway there, my friend realised she'd forgotten her water bottle. Rather than turning back, we stopped at a public fountain. The journey took slightly longer than our usual route, yet we arrived feeling less tired. If the weather stays dry, we'll use that path again, even though it isn't the shortest way.

1. re opened → reopened

   «reopened»: Reopened junta o prefixo re- e opened numa palavra: voltou a abrir.

2. cyclist to slow → cyclists to slow

   «cyclists to slow»: A referência é plural; mantém a terminação -s do nome nesta passagem.

3. We'd leave → We'd left

   «We'd left»: Had ou a sua contração ’d é seguido aqui de particípio; mantém a forma que situa o facto antes de outro passado.

4. her water botle → her water bottle

   «her water bottle»: Esta palavra mantém a consoante dupla; não a reduzas mesmo que não se ouçam duas consoantes separadas.

5. then our usual route → than our usual route

   «than our usual route»: Than introduz a comparação; then indica uma sequência temporal.

6. it isnt → it isn't

   «it isn't»: O apóstrofo assinala as letras omitidas na contração; retirá-lo altera a grafia.

Compara separadamente palavras ouvidas e ortografia. Não há nota automática. Aceita-se outra pontuação normativa que conserve relações e sentido; mudar uma vírgula não implica uma palavra mal ouvida. Revê depois maiúsculas e diacríticos com o modelo.

Mantém as palavras, a ordem, os artigos, as preposições e as terminações. Não substituas por sinónimos nem desenvolvas contrações. As seis notas são exemplos de revisão: compara o texto inteiro, não apenas essas seis zonas. Incluem-se transcrições completas alternativas em variantes_aceptadas: são variantes de escrita da mesma mensagem, não sinónimos.

Apóstrofos retos e curvos são equivalentes; mantém contrações e possessivos.
