Reading - The "Roda de Samba" Experience

Read the text and complete the activities below.

In Brazil, a very traditional and mature way to celebrate is going to a "Roda de Samba" (Samba Circle). It is different from the big parades. A "Roda" is an informal meeting. Musicians sit around a table. They play instruments like the cavaquinho (a small guitar) and the pandeiro (tambourine).

People stand around the table. They sing old songs, drink cold beer, and talk. It is a very democratic place. Doctors, teachers, and mechanics sit together. It is not about crazy costumes; it is about poetry, good music, and community. The energy is intense, but the environment is very relaxed.
