ADVANCED AND UPPER INTERMEDIATES : CONDOLENCES





What to Say When Someone Dies
A few weeks ago, a friend emailed in and asked me to write about offering condolences. She recently lost her baby girl after 3 days of life and the silence of her friends and acquaintances about the situation has been disquieting for her. Please allow me to take a few moments to discuss the manners surrounding how to interact with someone who has lost someone they loved.
Be Prepared to Say Something
The most important thing to know is that there is no type of loss that shouldn't be acknowledged. Whether the person you know has lost a close family member, a friend, or even a pet, your condolences may be the one bright spot in that person's day. Please do not assume that someone else will step in and relieve you from the difficult job of offering your condolences. Yes, it is difficult to think about bringing up a subject that you feel will cause your friend more pain. However, avoiding the subject altogether and acting like life should just go on is a disservice to the memory of the one who has died.
Most of the time the person who has lost his or her loved one really wants to remember; they want to remember the good times and the unique traits the deceased had that made them special. In a way, it is a sort of memorial every time they are remembered.
I once was in my grandfather's kitchen while he called someone whose husband had recently passed away. My grandfather did have many years of experience making those kinds of comforting phone calls, but the simplicity and ease with which he discussed the man's passing was inspiring. He expressed his deepest sympathy and moved quickly to what a kind and thoughtful man his friend had been. He then asked how the woman's last few moments with her husband had been. Finally, he concluded the brief call with a memory of the deceased and an offer of assistance should he be needed.

Brazil

Brazil is the largest country in South America. Famous for its annual Carnaval in Rio de Janeiro, its football tradition and the untouched wilderness of the Amazon rainforest, there are many things to see and do in Brazil.
Rio de Janeiro is one of the more popular cities in Brazil. It’s famous for its natural attractions, its carnival celebrations, Bossa Nova, samba, and hotel-lined tourist beaches, such as Copacabana, Leblon, and Ipanema. There are also famous landmarks to see such as the giant statue of Christ, known as Christ the Redeemer atop Corcovado Mountain, considered one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. Rio de Janiero is considered to be the Carnival Capital of the World. The most famous being the Carnival in Rio de Janeiro that takes place just a few days before Lint, attracting more than half a million tourists. The carnival parade is filled with floats and people from various samba schools. The carnival allows samba schools to compete with other rival schools to see who builds the best floats and costumes representing the school’s themes. There are typically six to eight floats and thousands of participants from each entry. For a very vibrant and lively time, this carnival is not to be missed.
Eating in Brazil can be an adventure for your taste buds. The diversity reflected by the country’s mix of native Portuguese, Amerindians, Africans, Italians, Germans, Spaniards, Poles, Syrians, Japanese and Lebanese among others, has created a national cooking style marked by the preservation of regional differences. So there is always something new for you to try as you visit the different regions throughout the country.
For a lively exotic time, visit Brazil and enjoy a country where the people truly enjoy life to the fullest and know how to have a good time.
