Sorry, I need to talk about Rio
Rio de Janeiro is a tourist city in Brazil that recently hosted the Rio 2016 Olympic Games. I've been living here since I was born and I still fall in love with this place everyday! The landscapes are amazing and I bet you will never see beachs like ours. If you have to go to the job, to the college or simply to the supermarket you'll probably see tourist views in you path. I love my country and my city although there are bad things that every place has. I'm a tipycal carioca person, I love the hot days and one of my favorites programs is to go to the beach. I like to go to shopping mall too but I guess many people around the world have this hobbie and not just the cariocas. Here in Rio we use lots of slangs, for example... When we wanna say "Ok, for sure I'll go" we say "Partiu!" instead of saying "Ok, eu vou sim". I already notice that the native English speakers says "like" while they are talking or trying to think or when they try to explain something during the conversation... here we say "tipo" and it works the same as "like" in this case. But the dictionay meaning for the word "like" in Portuguese is "curtir", "gostar" don't confuse!
To finish the text I really recommend you to visit Rio one day and I'll give you two tips: if you come, visit the Christ the Redeemer at Corcovado and the Copacabana beach, you'll not be disappointed!
Bye (:
