Post 4: Brazilian Carnival

My favorite festivity is the Carnival in Brazil. The Carnival is celebrated in Brazil every year, 46 days before the “Easter festival” and celebrate for a weeklong to receive spring. Carnival festivities in Brazil date back to 1723 with the Portuguese immigrants from Madeira and Cabo Verde .People went out onto the streets with buckets of water and threw mud and food, which often ended up in street brawls and riots. The concepts kept changing throughout the 1800s with more organized parades like the great societies where the Emperor joined in the celebrations with a group of aristocrats that paraded in masks with luxurious costumes and music.

post 3: My Favorite piece of Tecnology

Hi everyone!!! My favorite piece of technology, I think it’s the radio, because I’m keen on listening to music. I don’t remember when I got it, but it was the radio that was always at home,  it was a little radio we took  to our vacations, actually it was too old for these days, it has compartment for the cassette and CD, until today it works really well. I remember when I went to the school, always when I got up the first thing I did was turning on the radio and I did all my things with the music on, the reason to turn it on, was  that I didn’t want to fall sleep again and also I felt company because I woke up first in the house. I use it all day and every day, when I take a shower, cook, study, clean, drive, etc. At present the phone gives the app so that you can download and put the music on, I think for that my life is better because if this didn’t exist I would feel my life days very boring.
