Description of a Brazilian carnival
Every year, people in Brazil have a big party. It goes on for four days and four
nights. They have a lot of loud music and dancing and wear colourful shirts and
dresses and scarves. Everyone is happy because they are on holiday.
Follow-up
Ask the groups to glue their sentences on a piece of cardboard and display
their work in the classroom. Include a copy of the original description from
Box 83. The children might also enjoy creating a carnival atmosphere by
decorating their work with illustrations, balloons and streamers.
