Thanks for bringing up this topic. People who live in Rio Grande do Sul are devastated and Brazilians are more united than ever before to help them in Brazil ❤
They're facing a terrible situation. Despite life being the most valuable thing, I can't imagine how painful, grief-stricken, and sorrowful it can be to lose everything you pursued, accomplished, and worked hard to get. All of a sudden, losing everything. I feel so sorry for them.
@@brunomariano2792 Nada à ver... As pessoas estão sendo extremamente solidárias e civis estão salvando a maioria das pessoas... Verdadeiros heróis... Um exemplo para o mundo!!!
Não, BBC. É a pior enchente da história. Nos anos 40, quando houve uma enchente parecida, muitas das áreas atingidas não eram povoadas. Os estrangeiros não conhecem a dimensão do Brasil. Nós temos mais cidades com mais de 1 milhão de habitantes que os Estados Unidos, por exemplo. A região do Rio Grande do Sul, afetada direta ou indiretamente por esse desastre, tem mais de 5 milhões de habitantes. Os prejuízos são incalculáveis e a perda de vidas é irreparável.
@@paulodamiaosobreira4139 Specifically for English learners, as I'm a learner, I love this channel since I've seen the way they teach and break things down for us to understand.
After torrential rainstorms in Rio Grande do Sul they have to tackle the situation that the flood has been wreaking havoc. There are thousands of people displaced from their homes, but we are together sending food, water, medicines,cleaning materials and clothing to them. They are asking for help, so we should do something to help them. And I'm sure the entire country are feeling the same way.
Thanks for the excellent class. Even though that's a sad story on southern Brazil's deadly floodings, that's pretty important to know the vocabulary to spread information about what's going on and also raise awareness about the environment.
Hi, May I give you an advice? Your voice is too small, and music is significantly opposite. I have to adjust my phone’s volume when your music is playing. I have watched your videos for a month. I hope it could be fixed, thanks.
The worst of the problems was the lack of water, but 1 Brazilian navy ship with the capacity to desalinate one million liters of water per day, which was in war exercises with the French navy, was sent to the site, in addition to 220 purifiers. of water arrived in the city of Porto Alegre, it has the capacity to purify over 1.5 million liters of water that are collected from the river itself.
A lot of people are doing their best to help people from the South of Brazil. Ordinary people, churches, TV channels are collecting food, clothes, blankets, and all kinds of cleaning products to send to these affected people. Several professionals, such as, vets, doctors, fire fighters are also contributing to lessen those people's suffering. Let's all pray for them! It is a long term job until everyone can have their routine back! Thank you for this article! Rosangela from Brazil
Solidariedade Social é o conceito a ser aplicado nesse momento. Sinceros agradecimentos a todos quê estão a contribuir para amenizar o sofrimento pelo qual estão passando o povo do Rio Grande do Sul. 🌟🙏🌟
Hello. This is the first time I've watched your channel, which I find extremely helpful. Thank you so much for your crystal clear explanation. Lots of love from Japan.👍💖
Regrettably, many families have suffered losses of loved ones, pets, homes, shops, factories, farms, crops, and more. Entire small cities with populations of 20,000 to 30,000 residents have been entirely wiped out. These communities were ill-prepared for this massive disaster, receiving evacuation warnings too late. We have an ineffective government that heavily focuses on collecting taxes for personal gain. In times of crisis, their response and actions are delayed, fortunately there are proactive individuals who successfully rescue and provide refuge for those in need.
Your solution would be a military coup with Bolsonaro in power? Do not use the suffering of a people to justify your political beliefs. There are more appropriate forums for this discussion than an English class.
The good thing of listening these headlines videos is that we are using everyday English in the news. So sorry for these terrible torrential rains that had caused the death of so many people and the displaced of many more. Thanks BBC!
The main issue IS the heavy rain in the entire state, the small dam didn't even broke, it only partially collapsed, i live in the city it happened. Whats worse is that there is more rain coming.
No it is not,.this is totally false. It was the rain that made the rivers flood: taquari, cai, Guaíba, and Laguna dos patos. There wasn't a dam broked, just with small problems
👍 Yes, you're right! 😊 'Have to do something' is similar to 'must do something' or 'should do something', so when we say this using the present perfect, it becomes 'have had to do something'.
Yesterday, torrential rain wreaked havoc on the people's homes. Resulting in displacing the accommodation for house-losen residents from the government's command.
Jokes aside, I know it seems ironic, but we southern brazillians haven't been supllied with water in our houses for a entire week due the flood. So we are lacking clean water to drink
As a Brazilian, I'm surprised for the international attention about our situation! It's important to people around the world know that climate changes is real and it's happening now!
hahaaha vc acha que só o Brasil sofre com calamidades? Quer o mundo todo chorando pelo Brasil? Cadê vc ajudando o povo ucraniano? brasileiro é um povo tosco mesmo!
Your Vocabulary explanation is Commendable and it helps us learn New English vocabulary ....but why not you explain 10 vocabulary a day.....we can learn more if so... My Gratitude to the both of you.
Cuộc sống như được nạp đầy năng lượng vào buổi sáng, từng dòng xe nườm nượp chạy qua. Những bạn học sinh tụ tập từng tốp tung tăng đến trường và rôm rả trò chuyện trên đường. Lâu lâu em còn bắt gặp hình ảnh những bạn nhỏ đang ngủ ngon lành, hay có bạn đang khóc sướt mướt khi mẹ chở đi học. Hay hình ảnh các cụ già đang tập thể dục, những bài dưỡng sinh, yoga,....
