Brazil
Brazil is a big country and an interestIng place to visit. The peolple heard about our soccer, beaches, samba, capoeira, caipirinha, churrasco, Amazonia and Rio de Janeiro. But we have much more than this and each region there is specific things that even we Brasilian don't know. Some foreign visitors love our lifestyle because we are easygoing and friendly. We love help tourists as well as we love to travel.
The opening sentence is fine but thereafter we begin to have problems. Your second sentence tells us that, "The people heard...." I want to bring your attention to this statement for semantic concerns. Since you are writing this excerpt to people, and people would logically hear. I think it can be inferred that people are the ones hearing without having to state "the people heard". The phrase is a common example of overstatement. I would suggest that you try another phrase or rewrite the sentence. For example, "we are known for....." or "Brazilians are popular for their bold cultural traditions, their cozy climate, and their lush topography." Also, your verb tenses shift from sentence to sentence. You have "heard" in the 2nd sentence, "have” and “is" in the 3rd, and so on.... Another thing to reconsider is listing in such a short passage i.e. "soccer, beaches, samba, capoeira, caipirinha, churrasco, Amazonia and Rio de Janeiro". This is actually quite distracting. Let’s examine the following sentence. "There is specific things" should be "there ARE specific things". "We Brasilian don't know should be "we BRAZILIANS don't know". Before the word "each" we need to include the preposition "in" or reword the passage. In this sentence, "Some foreign visitors love our lifestyle because we are easygoing and friendly." is almost perfect except for logic. Again, can't we assume that visitors are also foreigners? So is it necessary to state "foreign visitors"? Couldn't we simply say "foreigners" or remove the phrase entirely and just write, "Some love our lifestyle...."? And the word choice here, "some" is awkward. Wouldn't "MOST" visitors love the lifestyle if in fact they are visiting? Lastly, the final sentence concludes the passage in a blunder. "Help" needs a preposition. Write "to help". Next, you repeat the pronoun "we" in the first and second clauses and this is not necessary. I'd just like to conclude this comment with a bit of constructive criticism for the author. Because of the high amount of grammatical, syntactical, and semantic errors in this passage enthusiasm for the topic diminishes word-by-word and I leave distracted by the errors and not enlightened by the content.

Best wishes!
