Hiya!
How's your Carnival going? Did you enjoy the Carnival parade? Did you dress up for a Carnival party? Did you make your own costume for Carnival? Last week I wrote an entry on Carnival vocabulary. Today I'm proposing a listening activity related to one of the most famous Carnivals across the world, no other than Rio de Janeiro's Carnival.
The video is a bit old and I used it some time ago in my classes. However, I really like it now, as it makes me become green with envy of the things we could do in the past when Covid 19 hadn't hit us hard...I'm looking forward to living an experience like the ones you can see on the video: binge alcohol, festive mood,...
Anyway, here you have the exercise and I'll post the answers at the end of this entry. I hope you like.
Have a look at the video https://www.bbc.com/news/av/world-latin-america-21421812/rio-rev and fill in the gaps with a maximum of 5 words. Item 0 is an example:
0. Rio’s Carnival is in full _swing_.
1. The first girl reckons that Rio’s Carnival is everybody’s favourite
holiday for the people in _____________.
2. The city is trying to prevent people from ______________________ on the streets.
3. According to the driver, drugs and alcohol make people do _____________________.
4. _____________ people are in the sambadrome to see the samba schools
compete.
5. This year there’s a wide variety of themes including South Korea, the
Amazon and ______________________.
6. Hundreds of ________________ have been deployed for the event.
Answers: 1 the bus 2 urinating 3 abnormal things 4 70,000 5 Brazil's soap operas 6 extra police
Here you have yet another exercise to revise the Carnival vocabulary seen in my previous entry:
I really hope you have practised your English and enjoyed Carnival.
See you around.
