Stephanie said that smoke is bad because it provokes cancer.

I think that this subject is very nice because it provokes a lot of contradictories.

Of course tocacco is bad but how can you explain that to a person who smokes. The smokers know that is bad but that can´t stop cause they don´t wan to. Is very difficult to talk about this subject cause is not so easy to stop somking.

Last week was Carnival , one of the most popular parties in Brazil. This party is very happy and fun but it is always a dangerous party because there are many people who get drunk and so the accidents, fights, are always more frequent.
Well, Carnival, is an old tradition in Brazil; it is not a religiousparty but it is something like a preparation for the Ash Wednesday (quarta-feira de cinzas). On this day the lent starts. In this period catholic people don ´t eat meat because they make a sacrifice to God. So Carnival is something like a preparation because we can eat a lot of meat to reserve it in our organism. In my opinion this is ridiculous because I don’t believe in any of it.

the carnival is celebrated in different parts of Brazil but always in a different way. In the north they sing and they dance all the time, but in Sao Paulo and Rio De Janeiro they have “schools” of samba which parade. It’s more like a spectacle.

During Carnival I went to the beach, to Peruibe, the town where my father lives. It was much fun and I was very happy because I have really fun with my friends. We paraded in the streets disguised in women clothes and we did a mess. Carnival is very good because we can see a lot of pretty people in the streets. When I came back to Sao Paulo I was very sad to have to restart school.
Well, that is, to conclude I think that Carnival in Brazil is something just amazing so, if one day you have the opportunity to come here don’t miss this party and you will have real fun.

My name is Thierry, I ´m Belgian because this is my mum ´s nationality. She is from the French side in Belgian. I am also Brazilian because I was born in Brazil, in Sao Paulo. I ´m 14 years old. I was born on 9th March 1991.

I have been living in Brazil since I was born and I live with my mother. My father lives on the coast and I have two half-brothers. What I enjoy most is to listen to music (hard rock, grunge, and others things) and skating, I skate in “Ibirapuera Park ” and in the street near my house.

I study at the French school so I can speak French and Portuguese but my English is horrible.

I am keen on having fun with fun friends!
