Brazil, second part
THE ECONOMY OF BRAZIL
Brazil is rich very rich, therefore it´s the first coffee, soya, oranges and tobacco world producer. In its industry stands out the iron and tin minery.
Brazil is full of rich and natural resources, energetic ones, agriculture and animal breeding which are the main ways of life. However, there are wide semiarid poor zones where immigrate population concentrate. In spite of the world crisis, Brazil has never increased its economy and constitutes the seventh world one.
Sadly, this wealthy doesn´t reach everybody. It is the eighth country with bigger differences between the poor and the rich, but thanks to Lula Da Silva policy, the present president has cut that down to a 17%.
A proof of that is the existence of plenty of built houses by the poor called “favelas”, just in River of Janeiro more than one million poor people live in there, the place that sheltered the World football champion.
FESTIVALS AND FAITH IN BRAZIL
Brazil is also a country with a deep catholic faith consequently the pope visited Brazil for the world family meeting, two years ago.
On the other hand, the Sao Felix bishop is making a big work there, that´s the reason why he could tell us why people in those poor streets don´t feel any life worth. To live or to die has no importance for them. Brazil is the country with most prisoners in all American Latin.
Furthermore, Brazil is also well known for its colourful and funny carnival. It´s one of the most visited touristic interests. It´s deal with four days of madness and joy. A festival to forget all our troubles.

Brazil
INTRODUCTION
Brazil is one of the widest countries in the world. It is known that Brazil is like a continent into another continent: America. Exactly there are eight and a half millions quadrate kilometers along all its extension.
Moreover, Brazil is one of the most populated nations, sharing borders with all the southamerican countries except Ecuador and Chile so there is a population of 200 million people.
Inside Brazil coexists three different cultures:
-Original indigenes, the first American Indians.
-Portuguese inhabitants, those that sometime ever lived in Brazil.
-And African slaves took by the force from Africa to work at the plantations and mines.
-65% of the population lives on the south and southeast. Curiously, in this case, the south part of the country is richer than the north where many poor people concentrate as it is unusual in the rest of the world
MOST IMPORTANT CITIES AND NATURE
The most important cities in Brazil are Sao Paulo, River of Janeiro and Brasilia.
Sao Paulo is the economical capital city and River of Janeiro is well known for its incredible Corcovado Christ and its beautiful and famous beaches: Copacabana and Ipanema. Brasilia is the formal capital, it is a city built in hardly four years situated in a geographical centre.
Brazil is also a water land biosphere reserve of incalculable value, mainly due to the Amazon river runs across there, the wildest river in the world and besides some more important ones, such as Panama and Iguacu. Nevertheless it is difficult to find high mountains in Brazil, the most important one is Neblina Pick. Besides it is a wonderful country that has everything:
-Amazing beaches around the country coast on the East.
-Wide and important rivers.
-Long tablelands.
-And definitely its important wild Amazonian jungle that represents a green lung for the whole planet.

An imaginary email to a TV channel advertising company that promotes unhealthy food
7th February 2014
Dear Madam,
I am writing to you to express my disagreement with the contents of some adverts shown at our children´s favorite channel day by day.
To start with you can not imagine how dreadful I felt while I was finding out that those adverts from a well known fast food company were confusing our children with a fantastic and colourful hamburguer shown as a very light one without naming its ingredients. We can not play with this theme as it is a dangerous one taking account children are big fans of hamburguers and all kind of unhealthy fast food. Nevertheless, everybody knows how easily children are persuaded so they must not misunderstand they information they are being given.
What is more, we all know, the only target these companies are achieving is to sell more at any prize which is intolerable. All ingridients wchich are really light and healthy must be named in the previous sale, as it is not the same a chicken hamburguer as a pork one.
Finally, I would advice you to withdraw all those detrimental spots unless you want to face up legal actions from my part.
I hope a reply from you soon and looking forward to a fast solution I am saying good bye to you.
Yours sincerely,
Thomas Krawzyck
PS: There was a promotion of giving two dols with the "Happy meal" , a good idea to sell more indeed, but in my opinion, if this company needs a light hamburguer they should start selling those hamburgues without any bread giving more options to the clients.

A letter about the discussion of giving more freedom to children
6th November, 2002
Dear sir,
My name is Mr. Burns, I am writing to you in reference to your daily newspaper last report. Firstly, I have to say that it is dangerous to give too much freedom to children as they are growing and getting into a new world each day so they still need to be educated and guided rightly to that world.
On the one hand, you adviced us to give children more freedom would become them in more responsible citizens. From my point of view, that is serious topic to deal with as there are serious children´s stages when parents should have to pay more attention into them, for example when they start to go to a disco with friends. If giving to them more freedom means not controlling their back home hour and not knowing what they usually do there that represents a big risk to lose them for ever. Personally, I think it would be a good idea to name a leader among their friends who control the last hour permitted to stay in the disco and who control the drinks our children have. Thus, that person would need to be a responsible one who is used to receiving orders.
On the other hand, another idea to make our children into responsible ones could be buying them a pet, a dog, a cat and so on, which is a great idea to involve a child in the activities of looking after an animal.
On the other hand, talking about the contents of the subjects of any school, I must say those ones are old and tiresome, we all should choose those aren´t very dificult depending on the child´s attitudes with most properly book. I will be fairly satisfied to see you agreeing with me.
I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours faithfully,
Mr. Burns

Famous people´s private life
To start with, I should say that regarding the fact that famous people are human like the rest of the world, they also have their rights to privacy as ordinary people. In my opinion, famous people perform a job which everybody enjoyes and knows so everybody should have account just that of them and anything else.
Firstly, everybody knows that some actors, top models, football players and so on need the journalists and the magazines reports in order to get more famous and promote their lives to the public eye, that is why they become the focusof people interestsshowing their private life to the world.
From my point of view these people should not make their private life public showing it into magazines as they are risking to lose their privacity. I assume, it is very tempting to accept a magazine proposal as they are usually paid big amounts of money so some actors ,who sell their lives, should not get upset if they aren´t respected while they are going for a walk.
Secondly, moreover , famous people´s private life on magazines is a businessin which both journalists and famous people earn too much money. Likewise, those lives are fairly atractive to ordinary people as they feel really pleasant while they are watching famous people´s life due to they admire them and love the feeling of glamour and fascinatation a famous person gives off very much.

Debate about advantages and disadvantages of a three-day trip
Firstly, a three-day trip involves some annoying work dealing with getting ready everything such as a review of the car, looking for the suitcases and rucksacks and booking in a hotel. It depends on the date of the year somebody can find upper or lower prices. In summer is impossible to find a cheap trip as prices rise a lot. Nevertheless if the plan is for march or october good offers are expected.
What is more, it is very important to get the car working fine as anybody doesn´t want to suffer an umpleasant surprise. Besides, it is a good idea to take a map with you in order not to get lost, above all it is recommended to absent-minded people. In this kind of excursions anybody can go without a good pair of trainers and some sunglasses on the mountains too.
Personally, I think a three-day trip is good to forget routine, stress and have a good time living a new experience.
That means to have the chance to ride on a horse, surf on the sea or whatever anybody likes. Obviously, it is a great opportunity to do some sports such as riding on bike, swimming or climbing.
And ,finally,if somebody goes on a group trip can´t leave meeting new people from diferent places, which is wonderful.

I would like to clear me up with an English grammar. Who can help me?
Hello guys!,
My name is Luna and I am from Spain. I studied to be an English teacher and I have just one teenager pupil because most of the time I work as a Financial Trainee and a housewife without husband, lol.
Some student books sometimes make it dificult for me. For example last thrusday afternoom I felt embarrassed when we had to study "neither and both", I told my pupil that what it was written "neither of us" was a plural pronoun so it needed a verb without "s" at the end in the simple prensent tense. I thought it was: "Neither of us like" but surprisingly I saw written on the exercise on the pupil´s book "neither of us like". It was even worse when I didn´t find any gramatical explanation. Oh my God! I didn´t know what to do so I moved on.
According to grammar neither is studyed with nor. Examples:
-Neither Henry nor Chris want to go to the beach.
-Greg can´t eat cheese because he is allergic and neither can I.
But I want a kind person who tells me what is the correct expression "neither of us like" or "neither of us likes" as I don´t want to confuse my pupil.
Sincerely,
Luna

What can somebody buy with 1,87 pounds in England?
Last year at the beguining of the summer I went to London for a weekend. After changing the money left, pounds into euros I had only one pound and 87 cents left.
I was wondering if I could buy a cup of coffe with milk coffe with that amount. The best thing it had been to give it to a homeless but there wasn´t anyone at the aiport.
In Spain in the town I live, Cordoba, a cup of coffe costs from 1,10€ to 1,20€ depending the cafeteria. A cup of tea is more expensive, from 1,60€ to 2 euros.
Can somebody answer me?
By the way, I had a great experience!
Thank you for your time!

Isn´t there a word for "regular" in English?
English people usually corrects compositions and exercises of School and High School like this:
-Bad.
-Good.
-Very good.
- And Excellent.
That people look some optimist because I miss a word for "regular", because it could be neither good nor bad, in the middle, what we call in Spanish "regular", Isn´t there a word for that?
I think is not possible to use "so so" that I heard it was used for feelings, wasn´n it?
Thank you for spending your time with me!
Sinscerely,
Luna.
