Brazil is the biggest country with the largest population in South America. It is one of the world’s rising powers.

Brazil has been a big farming country for the last 10 years. It produces a third of all coffee in the world, which makes the country the biggest coffee producer in the world.

In Brazil, soccer is the most popular sport. Brazilians are soccer crazy, and their country has some of the best players. The most famous of all is Edson Arantes do Nascimento, better known as Pele. Brazil has won the World Cup five times, more than any other nation.

Tourism is also important in Brazil. In 2010, the number of foreign visitors to Brazil reached more than 5 million, according to the United Nations World Tourism Organization.

What makes millions of visitors come here? The beautiful landscape may be the answer. The world’s largest rainforest, the Amazon Rainforest, covers about half of Brazil. It is home to hundreds of thousands of animal species. The great Iguazu Falls are made up of 275 to 350 waterfalls. Sometimes, rainbows will show up, with butterflies flying high in the sky. Can you imagine how beautiful it is?

The unique landscape gives its people special characteristics. Brazilians are hospitable and friendly. A man may kiss a woman on both cheeks when they first meet. Although most Brazilians are from different races(种族), including Amerindians, Europeans, and Africans, they get along well with each other.

It’s the different races that offer Brazil a very rich culture. From samba and carnivals to food and music. African culture is everywhere in Brazil. Brazilians are famous for being fun, easygoing and yes, exciting. Nothing can prove this more than a carnival. The event that’s celebrated in Rio de Janeiro is described as the “world’s biggest party”. It is held for four days in February or March every year. Everyone dresses in costumes and parades through the city. They play musical instruments and dance.

However, Brazil also has its problems. Transportation is a nightmare, especially in big cities. By hosting the world’s two biggest sporting events—the World Cup in 2014 and the 2016 Olympic Games—the country has improved quickly.
