1. What were you thinking whilst listening to the podcast?
What I thought whilst listening to the podcast I thought that there are many visible differences in Brazil but there are also differences when you have to look between the lines as they say. Such as the food and cultures.
2. What did you find particularly interesting about what was said and why?
What I found particularly interesting is that students didn’t go to school for more than 5 hours. So they had a short day also found interesting is that in each region were different foods,cultures,dances and other things the reason for the difference is because it is a large country.
3. What question or questions would you have liked to ask, if you were conducting in the interviews?
The question I would have asked was
What did you like about your school?
4. Did you agree/disagree with her view of Brazil hosting the World cup-why/why not?
I agree with her point of view about Brazil hosting the world cup. Her view was that Brazil shouldn’t have hosted the world cup because they could have used the money they had to build hospitals and advance their education.
1.
When I was listening to the podcast, I was thinking about her background, culture and her education. We found out that her school has 200 people and there are 32 kids in each class. She starts at 7:00 am and finishes at 11:30 am so the children can have lunch with their parents and, do their homework.
2.
I found what she said about festivals particularly interesting because since she has a different culture, it was more interesting. She was saying how lively they were and that they were very fun and exciting. I wish that I could experience it because it sounds very good!
3. The questions I had for her were:
What was your childhood like?
Do you like to play soccer?
4.
I agree with her view about the World Cup because she had good points about it to follow up. The education is more important and Brazil didn’t have that much money for the stadiums. I agree with her point of view about money as well because I think they were just wasting more money that they could’ve put to valuable education.

Whilst listening to the Podcast, I thought that Brazil was very similar to Australia. The way Mr Niblo’s wife described Brazil, Brazil seemed like a beautiful country but I was thinking more about the inequality in Brazil.
• What did you find particularly interesting about what was said and why?
In Brazil school started at 7:00 am and ended at 11:00 am. At school they get cooked a well-balanced meal during school whereas in Australia we bring our lunch. Soccer is like a religion in Brazil.

I would ask what part of Brazil did you live in? Did you leave any family behind when you came to Brazil? What year leave Brazil?

I agreed with her opinion of Brazil hosting the World cup because I believe that Brazil shouldn’t have hosted the world cup because Brazil has inequality.
