Αλήθεια τι είναι η Favella? Που βρίσκεται? Τι γίνεται εκεί? Μια μικρή έρευνα από την Intermediate τάξη μας! (πηγή Rio De Janeiro -Unit 6 ,Journeys B1, Coursebook- Hillside Press, published in 2010
(video taken : www.google.com/youtubevideos) (account: pandreopoulou02@gmail.com) Favela (which is a Brazilian-Portuguese word for "slum) is the name given to the very poor areas of Rio. The favelas are neighbourhoods with poorly-made homes that have usually been built by the people living in them. Although they 're racially-mixed , the majority were created when black slaves were given their freedom in 1888, but had no jobs or homes to go to. It's impossible to drive a car into most favelas because the streets are very narrow. In these alleys , crime rates are very high because of the gang culture that exists there.

Thank you for using it immediately !!! In fact, we've been working hard in the class on an Environmental Protection project.. young learners need to raise their awareness to protection of the environemt and ,in class, through these demonstrations ,we try to motivate them into doing sth useful about it, instead of wasting their rubbish and depleting our planet's natural resources..
Hope i've helped you in some way.
Goodbye
