Looking for tips and correction - Rio military deployment
After reading the BBC news “Rio military deployment stirs controversy in Brazil” I was quite upset because it was a typical sensationalist and superficial news.
Unlike the BBC reporting, the people from Rio de Janeiro were claiming for some governmental attitude. The city is in a state of calamity, militaries is dying by dealers, children being target of lost bullet,and the population is suffering daily with this violence.
One of the most famous popular culture manifestation in Brazil is the carnival in Rio de Janeiro. The beija-flor samba school was the champion in february and they approached the violence and the others social-political issues.
Unfortunally the intervation is necessary in this moment. The state of Rio de Janeiro does not have money and could not control this situation. So, it is better have our belongs searching by soldiers than be hostage of traffickers.

Unfortunately, military intervention is necessary at this moment. The state of Rio de Janeiro does not have money and cannot afford to control this situation. So, it is better have our belongs searched by soldiers than to be the hostage of traffickers.

Very well written! I know what you mean about the BBC. In my own personal experience, their reporting is mostly inaccurate and ignorant.

Good job Priscila!
After reading the BBC news “Rio military deployment stirs controversy in Brazil” I was quite upset because it was a typical sensationalist and superficial (we don’t usually use superficial in this context)news.Unlike the BBC reporting, the people from Rio de Janeiro were claiming for some governmental attitude (not sure what you mean by this — do you mean that they thought the government was doing something against them? Or that they were seeking action agains the government?). The city is in a state of calamity, members of the military are dying by dealers, children are victims of stray bullets,and the population is suffering daily with the violence.
One of the most famous parts of Brazilian culture is the carnival in Rio de Janeiro. The beija-flor samba school was the champion in February and they approached (how?) the violence and other social-political issues.
Unfortunately the intervation is necessary in the current environment. The state of Rio de Janeiro does not have money and could not control this situation on their own. So, it is better to have our belongings searched by soldiers than to be held hostage by traffickers.
