Brazil is beautiful and more than just football
How much do you know about Brazil? You might think of football , samba (桑巴) and the Amazon. But there is a lot more to this country: its wonderful land, history and culture.
On September 7 , 1822 , Brazil won its independence (独立) from Portugal. So that day is Brazil’s National Day.
It is the largest country in South America and has the second longest river in the world. It is called the Amazon. The river is 6, 440 kilometres long and runs through the world’s largest rainforest. The rainforest is home to between 800, 000 and 5 million kinds of plants and animals. But be careful when you swim because the biggest snake, the Anaconda (大水蟒), and the most terrible fish, the Piranha (水虎鱼) , live there!
Brazilians love sports, especially football. Many great players were born in Brazil like Ronaldo, Ronaldinho and Rivaldo. Football is-played everywhere. It is so popular that schools and businesses close during their important matches !
The Brazilians also love dancing very much. The national dance is the samba. Samba is a very lively and fun dance. Every year in February or March, there is the Carnival (狂欢节) in Rio de Janeiro. This is a time for parades and partying ! People go out and dance in the streets Dancers dress up in colorful clothes and go through the streets on big cars called floats. Tens of thousands of people watch the dancing.
If you want to be part of the carnival, then find a chance to travel to Brazil!
Beach. Samba. CarnivalIt seems that Brazilians are always ready to party. Well, they’ve got a good reason to party now: Rio de Janeiro (or Rio for short), their second largest city, got the 2016 Olympics on October 2th.
This is the first time in the 120-year history of the modern Olympics that they will be held in South America. It seems the five Olympic rings make more sense now that they’ve included another continent. And, just as Beijing got the world’s attention after receiving the 2008 Olympic nod (同意) in 2001, Rio de Janeiro’s win has put the spotlight on Brazil.
Football The colors green and yellow might make most people think of Brazil’s football team rather than the national flag. But football in Brazil is more than sport, it’s a way of life. The World Cup brings Brazilians together. Interestingly, the general elections in Brazil are usually held in the same year as the World Cup. Political parties try to take advantage of the patriotic enthusiasm (爱国热情) created by football and ________ .
Carnival “Live Your Passion (激情)” was the Rio team’s slogan. The carnival is one of the most powerful images of Brazilian enthusiasm. It’s held every year across the country, with street parades and exciting music. The parade in Rio is one of the world’s biggest carnivals. Every February, tens of thousands of people go there for the event.
The economy The Rio bid (申办) team set up a $14. 4 billion (98 billion yuan) budget for the games—the largest of this year’s bidding cities. What stands behind the big budget is Brazil’s stronger economy. Brazil’s is the largest national economy in Latin America, and has experienced a giant leap in the past few years.
