Question

【题目】 Thanks to the world-famous Colombian writer Garcia Marquez, many people think of Latin America was a land of magic. In Marquez’s books, impossible things happen in this part of the world.

Where does the magic in his book come from? It may come from the mixture of different cultures in Latin America. Although some of their differences have caused problems, they have also been a kind of beauty and encouraged people in Latin America to be more open-minded. Most of the people there speak the same language--Spanish.

People can enjoy beautiful sunshine on the Caribbean islands, ride horses in the green grasslands of Pampas, and experience the snow-covered mountains in the Andes. It even has the world’s biggest rainforest--the Amazon. Many of the world’s most unusual plants and animals live there.

The music and dance of Latin America is quite well-known. Latin American people have created the samba, rumba, chacha and tango. People often dance at parties. Latin dances are cheerful and can bring strangers together.
