Cultural Tip
‘Vai ter…’ is common in everyday Brazilian Portuguese and sounds informal. In formal written communication (e.g., official emails or academic notices) you’ll often see ‘haverá…’ or ‘ocorrerá…’. Also, remember that the adjective follows the noun – saying ‘técnica avaliação’ would sound odd to native speakers.
