RIO DE JANEIRO - BRAZIL

I would like to go Rio de Janeiro in Brazil because of the sun-shine and nice weather.

It looks beautiful on the photographs that I have seen and makes me want to go there in the summertime.

The beaches look really fun to play on and I would love to swim in the nice warm sea.

The forest and city of Rio looks beautiful as well and it is different to France and Europe. It would be cool to explore a new exciting place like Rio in Brazil.

I would also love to see the carnival and all of the bright colours . The music would be lively and the brightly coloured costumes would be spectacular.

There is an enormous statue in Brazil called the Christ Redeemer. The statue is of Jesus Christ, and looks like it is protecting the city of Rio.
