On an Island in Brazil, a Real Estate Boom Lingers

We chose this article because we are interested in the subject. He talks about a Florianopolis city well known by Brazilians and tourists around the world. What do you think about this article?

Reading the report we saw it was not very compatible to the idea that crossed our minds about what was going to be in the text. The text is very interesting for those who like to have a home or staying in houses, apartments or hotels, they know the price. And also says that it is very expensive for both Brazilians and for tourists.

The news about a man, Mr. Keeling of North Americans, out of his job in 2004 and was surfing in Florianopolis, but left the surf to buy or sell homes, we were very lucky that there already is one of the most beautiful places of Brazil and so many people want the house, it houses quite a price increase, moreover, is one of the international surfing competition, the view is beautiful from any location, culture and quite varied, there are many things to do, like going to the beach or sand dunes, is a place with little violence, a little dirt on the beaches, and as have many European immigrants, blue eyes and blonde hair are abundant there. The media people who live in this island of 53 km is 420,000 people.

Foreigners Follow Money to Booming Brazil, Land of $35 Martini

The article talks about some American people coming to Brazil due to its economic boom on August 12th,2011 .

We chose this article because we are proud Brazilians and we like to see articles about Brazil having an economic boom.

Brazil= lots o’ money.

So... what do you think about this article?

The best soccer player in the U.S? No, it's not that guy

The link that we found the article is: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/06/11/sports/soccer/11iht-soccer11.html?ref=brazil

The text talks about who is the highest paid soccer player in the world today (6/09/2011). The conflict is that David Beckham and Marta Vieira da Silva are both good on soccer. But Marta has been seen as the best soccer player in the world, nonetheless, David earns more money than her, and this is unfair.

We chose this text because we thought that is an interesting article, and that is unfair what they are doing with Marta, we were entertained by it.

NY times portrayed the Brazilian culture very well, showing the necessary facts to explain what was going on in the country.

Do you think that this case is fair or unfair?

Carrying on the legacy

The article “Carrying on the legacy for Brazilian Soccer” , expends the doubts(spats) about Brazilian soccer and the next big international soccer event that will happened in Brazil.

The report said that the soccer skills in Brazil are like genetic. It also mentions that even during the time of evolution of soccer,in Brazi it remains in the same style of playing beautiful “joga bonito”. It happens only here because this new generation has been inspired by the figure of “camisa 10” by Pelé , but in that generation not only Pelé inspired that.

We choose this article because, we like to see how the “gringos” talk about us , out of Brazilian territory.
