The best places to visit
There’s no place on earth like Brazil. It has some of the most beautiful beaches in the world, some
of the busiest, most exciting cities, as well as the biggest area of unexplored rainforest on the planet.
The country is, of course, enormous. In fact, Brazil is the fifth largest country in the world in terms
of land area and population. It covers half of South America and has borders with every South America
country except Chile and Ecuador. It has more than 187 million people, and most people live in cities near
the coast.
Brazil is a fascinating place to visit. The people are warm and friendly, and they welcome almost 5
million tourists to their country every year. Traditionally, Brazilians give presents to their hosts when they
visit people, so it’s a good idea if you do the same. Typical gifts include flowers, chocolate, and wine.When
some people think of Brazil, they think of soccer, music, dancing and beaches. The most popular pastimes
may not come as a surprise: playing soccer, listening to music, dancing, walking on the beach, or just
talking.

2. What is the population of Brazil? _______________________________________________
3. Where do most of the people in Brazil live? _______________________________________________
4. What are some popular pastime activities? _______________________________________________
2. An ice storm might be one of the most dangerous storms. It happens in the winter, usually during
the months of December and January. During an ice storm, ice builds up when very cold rain falls on
surfaces like power lines or tree branches that are below the freezing point.
Some experts believe that an ice storm is more dangerous than a snowstorm. Some ice storms
cause so much damage that people could be without power and telephone service for weeks. For
example, in 2008 an ice storm in the northeastern part of the US left 1.25 million people without power and
killed 25 people.
Driving and walking could also be extremely dangerous during an ice storm. Ice-covered branches
can fall and block roads making travel difficult. Icy roads can also cause drivers to lose control of their cars
and have car accidents. Icy sidewalks and stairs are just as dangerous. Walkers often fall and injure
themselves because of the ice.
