Hello my name is Mauro and today I will also introduce you to the wonderful city of Brazil, Rio de Janeiro. Rio is located on the southeast coast of Brazil and it is the capital of the state of Rio de Janeiro.  The city is very famous for its beaches and attractions such as the “Cristo Redentor”, the “Pao de Acucar”, and the “Maracana”. The people there are very energetic and love to sing and dance especially during the Carnaval. We are now all very excited for the upcoming World Cup which will take place in Brazil, and I am really looking forward to watching the games in the Summer.
