Exercício: Texto sobre o Carnaval em inglês

A. Leiam o texto abaixo / Read the text below

Carnival is a festive season which occurs immediately before Lent; the main events are usually during
February. Carnival typically involves a public celebration or parade combining some elements of a circus,
mask and public street party. People often dress up or masquerade during the celebrations, which marks an
overturning of daily life. It is a festival traditionally held in Roman Catholic and, to a lesser extent, Eastern
Orthodox societies. Protestant areas usually do not have carnival celebrations or have modified traditions,
such as the Danish Carnival or other Shrove Tuesday events. The Brazilian Carnival is one of the best-
known celebrations today, but many cities and regions worldwide celebrate with large, popular, and days-
long events. - Wikipedia adaptado
