You will virtually travel to Rio de Janeiro and create a pretend e-mail answering the following:

Question

1. What's the region you went? What state you went to? What city?
2. At which hotel you stayed? Tell me about the hotel. What tourist attractions you went to? How was it?
3. How is the local people? How about their customs?
4. Tell me some curiosity/facts about the city.
5. FINALLY, tell me about your region (not the state or city): how is the economy? Population? And important facts about that region, such how many and which are the states that compose that region.

Everything here is supposed to be virtual, so all you need to do is research. You don't need to create an email; you can just answer the questions.

Thank you so much!!!

Answer 1

Hi, Juliana. As your tutor, I can't write the paper for you, but I can guide you through the assignment.

Unless you have been to Rio and know the city well, you need to research, as your instructor indicated. How do you do that? Look at the kind of information required in each question.

1. You appear to have chosen Rio de Janeiro. Search the internet for basic facts about Rio, in terms of its continent, country, and part of the country.
2. This requires some information about tourism. Search for "rio de janeiro tourism" and you will find lots of sites detailing places to stay, attractions to visit, and so on.
3. The sources you found for question 1 can help here too. Culture, ethnicity, social sructures and more are readily available.
4. Tourism and city info can help here as well. You can even search for "rio de janeiro secret places" to learn about unusual things outside of the typical tourist sites.
5. This is the most research-intensive question. I recommend going to the CIA World Factbook for Brazil (https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/br.html). This gets away from all the touristy junk you found earlier and focuses on just the facts, all kinds of facts, about the country.

If you need help putting this all together or working on other projects, please let me know!
