Greetings!
Today I’m going to talk about Brazil and the world cup. I know Germany will win
the cup; it is the best team ever!
But…
I have big troubles with this world cup. Maybe if I explain to you, you will
understand.
Brazil
is the largest country in South America. Bounded on the east by the Atlantic
Ocean and bordered by all countries in this part of the American continent
except for Chile and Ecuador. It is the world's largest Portuguese speaking
country and it belonged to Portugal until its independence in 1822. It has an enormous
population: 190 million people approximately and everyone knows how to play
football soccer (just joking).
Politically,
Brazil is a federal state, in fact, is a federal presidential representative
democratic republic. And the head of government and of the state is the
President. 2010 was elected the current president Dilma Roseuff. However, Brazil was unable to solve their
biggest problems related to delinquency, poverty, violence and corruption disrupting
the quality of life of people who lives in slums, the famous “Favelas”. Also, the
executive power was unable to control the economic crisis and all the problems
about representation. In this controversial context, Brazil was chosen to host
the World Cup in 2014 creating a lot of chaos, killings and protests thanks to the
number of implemented measures that were catastrophic for the people and their
lives, like tax hike for public transport, “cleaning people” in the favelas and
destruction. In my opinion, I have to
admitted, I like a lot the world cup even thought is a big mafia by FIFA and
contributes to the "bread and circuses" to keep people busy while
important things are decided. Besides the major problems that affect most of countries
thanks to neoliberalism are forget. For Brazil, it is very harmful and awful.
It was the worst choice. People are suffering a lot and that destroy the essence
of football soccer (also the existence of FIFA does it too and the fact that
girls cannot play the world cup ¬¬).
That
is all, hope you like it.
Goodbye!
I share your thinking with respect to the cup :)
ReplyDeleteHello, damn FIFA, it's true the mafia thing :/ we'll see if Germany wins c:
ReplyDeleteGreetings.
Is really complicated issue that exists in Brazil, but independent of that love football.
ReplyDeleteBye bye
I agree with you... this world cup in Brazil was the worst choice :(
ReplyDeleteGood Amapola.I agree with you, too.
ReplyDeleteI´d like to make some important comments:
I suggest changing the order of the second part of the sentence below because it´s not clear:
And the head of government and of the state is the President. 2010 was elected the current president Dilma Roseuff.
Another thing, as Brazil still has not been able to solve its serious social and economic problems, you should use a tense to show relationship between the past and the present, not simple past.
"Brazil was unable to solve their biggest problems ..." TO: Brazil has been unable to..."
Finally, say, "I have to admit", "even though" and "Besides the major problems that affect most of countries thanks to neoliberalism are FORGOTTEN"
