An introduction to Brazil
Written on March 5, 2008 – 1:29 pm | by ronaldojunior
Hey guys!
My name is Ronaldo Lima Jr, and I’m an English teacher in Brazil. This semester (Feb – Jun), I’m having a blogging project with my advanced students. You can find all blogs at:
http://finally5b.21classes.com
We have just created a virtual tour around the five cities my students considered to be our five most important cities. We used voicethread to create this show and you can watch the show here or at our portal.
Feel free to leave text (by clicking “type”) and/or voice (by clicking “record”) comments to us. It doesn’t matter if you leave comments here or at our portal, they will be updated on both places.
Have fun!

Hello friend!!
The most important state in Brazil is Sao Paulo because it concentrate the economy, the industries, the market, among other things!!
=D
Juan,
I root for SPFC (São Paulo) and Morumbi`s Stadium can fit near by 70,000 people.
Hi Yulia,
The president of my Brazil is Lula.
I like him in some aspects, but he is not perfect, there are some things in his goverment that I really don`t like. Brazil needs a lot of improvements, for exemple in our education, and sometimes he doesn`t do the necessary to improve it.
Hello PaoChoua Her, i don’t have a picture on the slide show because i recorded it at the school’s computer, so i didn’t have a picture. i can’t play soccer very good, so i rather watching it, however i like to play volleyball ^-^
Hello friend!! I think the workers used the best material to built the bridge and I think that it is very good. It was built in 2002 and I like to go there when I have the oportunity. It has such a beautiful view….
Yes, I would love to visit the USA for a second time. By the way,I really liked the first one, I really like the culture, except the food…I`m in first grade of high school.
Hi Tong, in fact i have already visited USA, i really like it, but i wouldn’t live there, i love my country, but my dream is to live in london.
hey every one
we feel very pleasured to know that you liked our pictures.
thanks for your comments.
=)
Hello dude!!
I simply LOVE to live in Brazil. I woudn’t change this country for any other one. Our people, culture, song, carnaval are the best, in my opinion. Even considering the bad things, the good ones are much stronger.
Hi Jongsika, thanks for posting your comment. Well, the most important state of Brazil is São Paulo because it’s a global metropolis with a big economic importance. And, actually, we don’t like soccer, but most of the people here do.
Hope we helped! xoxo
dear xeng,
the Brazil`s rainforest is very beautiful and big, but it has been devastated ,so our governament is trying to stop this problem. i have already visited the USA three times and i will go again on summer. i have been studying english for eleven years. my governers are not very good but they are trying somethings interesting.
thanks for your comments
Nowadays, there are about 186 million people living in Brazil. The word “Brazil” comes from a very common tree, that existed MANY years ago here, called “Pau-Brasil”. However, particularly, I don`t know the real meaning of that word. Good question! Thanks. Bye!
hy!!!My name is Lia I’m from Romania i really like your presentation!I think Brazil is a beautiful country, I like to visit it.
GOOD JOB!!!!!
The city is beautiful by night, splendit!!!!
my name is george and i’m delighted to see that phothos. brasil is my favorite place for vacation
Hi Ronaldo and Students!
What a fantastic presentation you have put together.
I love your country. I went to Florianópolis for a summer holiday and couldn’t believe how beautiful your beaches are, with their warm, clear water and the luxuriant vegetation covering the “morros”. I also visited a village called Mariscal, which seemed to be paradise on earth. No wonder so many Argentinians spend their holidays in your country.
Once again, congrats on a wonderful presentation and an incredible country.
