In the early 70's Brazil developed the ethanol engine -- this came about during extreme financial difficulty and the horrible oil crisis. After years of hyperinflation Brazil was able to become completely self-sufficient in oil and to top it all off they found a huge oil field. The country has become the energy powerhouse of South America.
In July 7, 2007, the statue of Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro became one of the new seven (man-made) wonders of the world. Lately Brazil has hosted several international events, such as the Pan-American games, many international soccer major events, in addition to the upcoming world cup in 2014 and the Summer Olympics in 2016. English will be the common language that will be used by the world visitors.
Even though Portuguese is a beautiful language spoken by about as many people as Spanish, the reality is that it is not spoken by nearly as many countries -- Spanish is quickly becoming the second most popular language after English, especially in the Americas. It behoves Brazil to recognize the need to create a multi-pronged program to improve the teaching of English. English could be part of early school curricula, ideally starting at first grade all the way through high school. English could also be taught as part of many trade school programs. Most likely this is something attainable as people who are currently learning English already do it in a privatized way. As the economy keeps improving people will have more money for education and companies could help subsidize some of these programs.http://www.eslemployment.com/articles/teaching-english-in-brazil-376.html
Apesar
de que o português é uma bela língua falada por aproximadamente o mesmo número
de pessoas que o espanhol, a realidade é que ele é falado em muito menos
países. O espanhol está rapidamente se
tornando a segunda língua (estranjeira) mais falada do mundo depois do inglês,
especialmente nas Americas. Seria para o
benefício do Brasil o reconhecimento da
necessidade de criar um programa de várias frentes para melhorar o ensino do
inglês. A língua inglesa poderia fazer
parte do currículo dos primeiros anos de escola, idealmente começando desde a
primeira série primária até a última série do ensino médio (colegial). Além disso o inglês poderia ser ensinado como
parte dos programas de muitas escolas profissionalizantes. Essas coisas são provavelmente bem possíveis,
já que quem aprende inglês hoje o fáz pelo setor privado. De acordo com o crescimento da economia as
pessoas terão mais poder aquisitivo para a educação, e as empresas poderiam
ajudar a subsidiar esses programas.http://www.eslemployment.com/articles/teaching-english-in-brazil-376.html

Português:
O domínio do ingles é
capacidade de comunicação para o mundo
No início da década de 70 o Brasil desenvolveu
o motor a álcohol – isso ocorreu durante dificuldades financeiras extremas, com
a horrível crisis do petróleo. Depois de
anos de hiper-inflação o Brasil conseguiu ficar completamente auto-suficiente
com relação ao petróleo, e por cima de tudo descobriu uma grande mina de
petróleo. O Brasil se tornou a potência
de energía da America Latina.
Em 7 de julho de 2007, a estátua do Cristo Redentor no Rio de
Janeiro se tornou uma das novas sete maravilhas do mundo (feitas pelas mãos
humanas). Nos últimos anos o Brasil tem
sido o anfitrião de vários eventos mundiais, como os Jogos Pan-americanos,
eventos internacionais de futebol, além da COPA mundial vindoura de 2014 e os
Jogos Olímpicos de verão de 2016. O
inglês será a língua usada pelos visitantes de todo o mundo.
