Junior 1 – Brazilian Food

Dear students,

 Since we’re talking about food, I thought you might be interested in learning what other people say about Brazilian food. This is just a note from what British people have to say:

Food

Black beans, white rice and manioc flour are staples, usually served with beef, chicken or fish. Coconut milk and palm-oil are traditional bases. A popular dish is feijoada, a bean stew made with air-dried beef, smoked sausage, tongue, pigs’ ears and tails. Other specialities are moqueca, a seafood stew, and caruru, sauteed shrimp and okra in a hot red pepper sauce. Acaraje, fried bean balls stuffed with seafood, are popular in Bahia.

 So, do you agree with what they say?

Enjoy your weekend!

Rick

Hi there!!!

I know it’s been a loooooong while, but I swear I’ll try my best to make better use of the blog with you guys.

We’ve just finished our lesson today and, so that I don’t forget to do it again, here’s the homework:

  • Coursebook - Pages 132 – 134 (on page 134, do Grammar Plus – relative clauses)
  • Exam maximiser – Pages 86 – 88

See, there you are! :D

Oh, and since we were talking about tourism, you might want to check these pictures out. Really cool:

The Guardian also hosts this website. Have a look at what they say about traveling to Brazil:

I might come back during the week with something else. I’m aware I still owe you the answer key to the exercises on prepositions I handed you today.

Cheers,
