Brazil’s New President – level 1

08-01-2019 15:00

Jair Bolsonaro becomes Brazil’s new president. He gives a speech. He makes big promises. He says that he is going to end crime and corruption. He also wants to unite the people.

Jair Bolsonaro is an ex-army captain. His ‘co-workers’ are also from the army. Some people do not like this.

People also criticise him for his comments about homosexuality, black people and women. The American president, Donald Trump, congratulates Bolsonaro on Twitter.

Difficult words: promise (saying that you are going to do something), be going to (to do something in the future), unite (bring together).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
