Reading - The Walls of Brazil

Read the text and complete the activities below.

Hello! My name is Lucas. I live in a big city in Brazil. My city is not grey. My city is very colorful. Why? Because of street art. In Brazil, street artists use many walls to paint. They use spray cans and brushes.

Some murals are very big. They show people, animals, and nature. I see a beautiful mural every day on my way to work. It is a giant bird. The colors are blue, yellow, and green. It is very happy. Many tourists visit Brazil to see our art. They take photos of the walls.

Is street art good? Yes, it is! It makes the streets beautiful. It is art for everyone. You don't need a museum. You only need to walk and look. Some artists are very famous, like Kobra. He has murals in many countries. But in my neighborhood, the artists are my friends. They paint the old walls and now the neighborhood is new and bright.
