Brazil is a lovely country in South America. Brazil (has made - Brazil cannot make a continent! It is just a bit of land!!) South America with these other countries: Peru, Chile, Cape Horn, Argentina, Uruguay, Fr. Guiana, Suriname, Guyana, Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay and Bolivia. Brazil is the biggest of them all. It is by the sea and touching Paraguay, Bolivia, Peru, Uruguay and Colombia. ===== The capital of Brazil is Brasilia, surprisingly Brasilia isn't that popular. The most popular cities are Sao Paulo and my favourite Rio de Janeiro which means January River in English. In Brazil poor people live in favelas which are groups of houses just put anywhere and they make a huge place of piled houses. There are a lot of famous places in Brazil, I will tell you all of them and some description about them starting with: The Amazon Rainforest! The Amazon Rainforest is a famous rainforest with the famous river running through it The River Amazon.There are a lot of tribes in the rainforest and some people say they are horrid but they are no more horrid then we are.The Amazon rainforest has a lot of unusual creatures like pink beetles and sloths and jaguars. Very tall trees and very thick undergrowth not much light Now to my second subject: A Favela A Favela is a group of houses bundled up together to make a large site of houses with over 100 houses there it is unhygienic.It has very bad conditions and they are made out of anything anyone can find stone,plastic,bits of rubber and some bits of wood!

Now I will talk about a tribe called Amerindians: The Amazon rainforest is the least populated region of the country and is home to many of the Amerindian tribes. The Kayapo are one of these tribes, and they live on the Xingu river, a tributary of the Amazon. Like most Amerindians the Kayapo use face and body paint. Red and Black are the most comman both of these are made from the juices of plants. The Kayapo live by hunting, fishing and collecting food from the forest. They are called HUNTER GATHERES and SUBSISTENCE FARMERS. In a Kayapo garden they grow Maize, peppers, sweet potatoes, manoic, beans, pineapple and mango and a lot more! __** A Forest Garden **__

A forest garden is genrally treated by the tribe women. After a while the heavy rains wash away all the nutrients of the soil. The Kayapo then move away to another clearing and make a new forest garden. This type of farming is called SHIFTING CULTIVATION. Now I will talk about Brazils populations:

NAME POPLATION (millions)

SAO PAOLO 10.3

RIO de JANEIRO 6.2

SALVADOR 2.6

BELO HORIZONTE 2.4

FORTALEZA 2.3

BRASILIA 2.2

CURITIBA 1.7

MANAUS 1.6

RECIFE 1.5

BELEM 1.4

that is the population of the cities in Brazil. Now I will talk about Brazils timeline: The Begining: Native American peoples (by the millions) occupied this region of South America for years

1500: Then in 1500, the portuguese navigator Pedro Alvares Cabral's fleet, on route to India, landed along the north easten coast line (near Recife), and he quickly claimed this land for Portugal- and the 300-year Portugeuse era in Brazil began!

__** Brazils Climate **__ In Brazil there are a lot of weathers for example rainy, sunny, wet, a lot of rainfall and even snowy! Brazils climate changes every season eg.in winter it is cold and in summer it is dry. Some areas in Brazil have lowlands eg. the coastal lowlands. It is very humid in the Amazon Rainforest (in the tropics) which is in the north east and it is humid in the Brazilian Highlands which is somewhere in the north. Some of the countries in the south and south east are Curtitiba and Porto Alegre, some countries in the east are Salvador, some countries in the west are Manaus, some countries in the south west and north west are Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo.

There are a lot of animals in Brazil that are unusal to us, eg. huge butterflies, jaguars, big cats and a lot more! In the book Journey to the River Sea by Iva Ibbotson is about a girl called Maia and at the begining she finds lots of animals and reads them to the class, some of these animals are butterflies the size of saucepans, parakeets, blue and scarlet birds and alligators. Maia's friends told her: 'Mosquitos which bite then you swizzel up and turn yellow like a lemon' and 'Piranhas which tear the flesh off you'.
