Coelho

 

I'm going to describe for you a famous event that of my country, Brazil. The name is Carnaval. It is a big party happens every year. During the year people save money to spend on this event that happens for three days in February.

There are many groups from Samba schools that prepare in advance beautiful music with words that talk about the cultures of Brazil that report to other countries. They make beautiful dresses that people use on those days to parade in the city of Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. It is very beautiful.

The country receives a lot of tourists from other countries who participate in this wonderful event. The government is very happy because they spend a lot of money on these three days. People dance, drink and eat on the streets, in restaurants and at clubs. People don't work because it's a holiday. There are news reports on TV all the time during this week.

It is a big, beautiful and famous party of my country, Brazil.
