At the end of each class I've been asking them to respond to a question I have about Brazil. I told them that I have a blog and that many people in the U.S. are curious about the lives and thoughts of Brazilians, especially in light of the upcoming world events. They only answer if they are willing to share what they think and make it public. Most of them write their answer in both Portuguese and English because they want to get their thoughts exactly right.
This week I had three students willing to share with you what they think about their own country in response to the question, "What do you like most and least about Brazil?" Here's what they said in their own words:
My favorite thing about Brazil is the nature and the beaches. The least thing is the policies and politics.
My favorite things about Brazil are the freedom and multiculturalism. I hate the ignorance of some people and the lack of motivation of others. Some people are in a bad situation and don't do anything to change it.
O que mais gosto no meu pais é a afetividade das pessoas. O povo brasileiro é muito caloroso. Mais a violencia tem crescido muito todos os dias, tem se tornado dificil andar tranquilamente nas ruas.
(What I like most in my country is the affection of the people. The Brazilian people are very warm. But the violence has grown so much every day, it has become difficult to walk peacefully in the streets.)
Do you have a question that you want to pose to the group? Just let me know!
