Listening - Carnaval time

Part A - Mike has just returned from Brazil. Listen to him talk about Carnaval. What was his favorite thing about it?

Isn’t this music fantastic? It’s from Osama CD that I got when I was in Brazil for Carnaval. Carnaval is a big party or celebration, and usually lasts for four days it’s in late February or early March, but you need to book a hotel room early because hotels fill up really quickly.

People celebrate Carnaval all over Brazil. But the most famous party is in Rio de Janeiro. There are colorful decorations all over the city. It’s really beautiful and everyone is very friendly, especially to visitors from other countries.

My favorite thing about Carnaval is the big parade. The costumes are amazing people work on them for months. It’s really fantastic to watch. Everyone dances the Samba in the streets. I’d really recommend you try to go to Rio for Carnaval.
