y Hulley is learning

.e. .I r
(ditor's note: This is the
seeond letter to Expositor readers
from Expositor SDHS Page editor
Sandy Hulley, daughter of Marg
and. Bob Hulley of Winthrop, who
is spending her summer in Brazil.
Sandy is on a return visit with the
family of Bete Maia, a Brazilian
student who spent several months
here last winter with the Hulley
family. For a fascinating descrip-
tion of life in Brazil, read on.)
July 15, 1976.
Dear Readers: Last week in the
mail, I received a copy of the June
24th edition of the Huron Exposi-
tor with my first letter written in
it. Since then, I have been getting
letters from many people saying
how much they enjoyed the -
article. So here I am again
sending aeother letter to the
Expositor hoping they might-print..
it too.
Bi‘nokv, my whole Brazilian
family and some friends have
read my letter and the whole
Huron Expositor along with it.
My Brazilian parents were quite
surprised that a town as small as
Seaforth could put out a news-
paper as large as the Expositor.
Here in Brazil, newspapers are
comparatively small and few. My
Brazilian Mom says it is not
bec ause there is a lock of trees
with which to make the paper but
because there is a lack of factories
and machinery to process the
. wood into. paper. Anyway, every-
one here enjoyed"' reading a
Canadian newspaper. To my
surprise, I received 'another
Huron Expositor in the mail just
the other morning. Susan, you
will never know how much
reading it means to me. I have
lost track of all Canadian news
because I do not understand
.anything in Brazilian news-
papers, just pictures. It is frustra-
ting. Now I know all the news
from home, even though it is a ,
week old.
My Portuguese is coming along
okay. My vocabulary grows a
little each day. I can now put
words I have learned into .whole
sentences (which are usually very
short) but to me it is quite an
accomplishment. At least I am
able to say the basics; , I'm
hungry. I'm tired. How much
does this cost? I have to go to the .
Last night, I tried reading a
Donald Duck comic book. Have
you every tried to read a comic
book using a dictionary? It 'took
me half an hour to read one page.
Finally I gave up and relied on the
pictures and my limited know
ledge of a few words. I think I
understood the bask" idea of the
story anyhow.
Try Exams
To get • into a university in
Brazil, students first have to write
exams called "vestibular." There
are many students who want to
get into university yet, a ' very
limited number of them can be
accepted: Therefore only those
who score the highest on these
exams are 'accepted. This does
not„ mean only the smart are
Bible for university. If a not so
sniart studeirt really studies, he
can pass the exams and therefore
enter. Because of the number of
students writing the exams, many
are held in the huge football
stadium' here in Belo. Anyone
who passes the- exam has every .,
right to be proud.' It is a lot of
studying, hard work and it is very'
hard on the nerves. I have talked
to 'many students who have
passed and are now in university.
They all agree the waiting to see
whether or not,they passed, is the
worse part of it all. The results
are announced on the radio and in
the newspaper too. The day the
results are announced, the ones
whb passed really celebrate. If
the student happens to be male, it
is traditional for him to allow his
friends to paint him, cut off his
hair and do what they want with
him. These exams are just oval
for Belo. They will be held again
in December. Bete will write her
exams then. She hopes to enter a
communication course in
university.
Weekend in Rio
A few —weekends ago, my
Brazilian fituily and I spent the
whole:*Rekend.in Rio de Janerio.
We Stayed in a round hotel
ovVitookitiithe beach,, ocean, and
the city. I now truly believe, Rio is
the most beautiful - city in the
_world. We didn't have time for
much sight seeing. Bete and I
spent most of our time on the
beach in the sun. It was the first
time I had ever swam in salty
ocean water. It sure is hard on the
eyes. My Brazilian parents hive
promised they will take me to the
city again for almost a whole week
when I leave Brazil; as tidy plane
leaves from there.
On the way home from Rio, we
stopped•atia pottery factory in a
'little town called Itaipava, This
factory is far from modern and
only basic machines are used,
Most of the work is done by hand.
We were given a grand tour and
we saw the clay going through all
the processes; being molded,
'baked, painted, etc. Some beauti-
ful articles are made here. I have
bought some as souvenirs. I
rtes.,'They 'looked like giant
anthills. Bete told me they are
built 'by little insects similar to
termites but called "cupims."
Thousands of these insects build
these huts which are about table
high and are so hard that a person
can sit on them. They are usually
built near a food source and when
that food is gene, the cupims

Learn English
It is the natural desire of
everyone here to want to learn
English. •Many of the friends I
have made can speak at least a
little English and in many schools

it is a required course. Bete says
it is because English is the
universal language. Almost every
country you go to in the world,
there will always be someone who
can speak English.
Many Brazilians use gas .with
which to gook. The gas comes in
small silver tanks which can be
bought fromspecial places here.
Whenever your 'tank goes dry,
you just have to go to One of these
gas outlets and trade in your tank
for a new one. Since many of the
poorer people here do not have
cars, they are often seen walking
down the streets carrying these
tanks on their heads.,VVhen I first
came, I could not understand
what they were doing.
I am finally able to walk to the
post office and go shopping at
some stores near Bete's home all
by myself. Give me a cheer! 1 did
not think I would ever get up
enough nerve to walk anywhere
all alone. The cars are so small
and the drivers are so fast, they
appear out of nowhere. I was
honestly terrified at first.
'Maids are very inexpensive to
hire here. especially - if they live
in. Mom, `when I come home
please 'don't be surprised if I
don't want to work. The Apia's
have three maids and I think I
have forgotten how to work.
Bete, as many Brazilian stu-
dents, has the whole month of
July off school for. holidays. We
have been going out 'a lot to
movies, a ba let, to 'iriiiSic
concerts, ari.,4i(o snack bars
(which are the same as our hotels
only the tables are placed outside
on the sidewalk) with
friends. One of the guys I have
met has an American exchange '
student ,staying at his home. Her
name is Becky and she is from Los
Angeles. We have had many
interesting discussions about the
difference• between the Ameri-
can and Canadian people
compared to Brazilian people.
Well, I think I better stop here.
It is funny. I could go on and .on
about. all I have been seeing and
doing but then I would have
nothing to tell when I come home
so I will be quiet.. I hive booked
my rettito flight hoille. I leave Rio
de janerio September 4 and
arrive in Toronto on September 5.
Hello again to all my friends. f
really enjoy reading all the letters
I have been getting (hint).
Love, Sandy
P.S. - Sandy is letting me add a ,
little note at the end of her letter.
I just want to' say hello to all the'
fi:;ends I met in Canada. Thanks
for being so .nice to me during my
stay. I hope to see you all again
soon. Love, Bete

Everyone Welcome
many many little boutiques. Each
boutique sells only one line of
iteni; perfume, shoes, clothes,
books, jewellery etc. It takes
hours to go from store to store to
buy everything you want.
One thing I have found very
different here, is bow dependent
Brazilian youngsters are on their
parents. Few ki ds here my age
have after school or' weekend
jobs. They depend on their
parents for everything either until
'they are out of university or until
they are married. This surprised
me a lot. Most of my friends in
Canada have jobs and earn at
least a little money for them-
selves. This is just one more
example the ,:difference, in
customs between -countries.
Much of the music on the radio
stations here is American 'but
they don't play the hard rock-type
music. Frank Sinatra, Andy
Williams and Burt Bacharach are
the more popular singers. It sure
is different from CKLW . and
CJBK music.
' Soap operas
The Brazilians must adore soap
operas. Many programs both in
the day time and even at night,
are continuing stories in the lives
of normal everyday poeple, just
like at home on TV. I was
surprised though. At home
usually only the housewives and
school girls like,to listen to these
programs and then gossip about
them, Here, the men too enjoy
• listening to them..,_..,„„

Lenient Law 0,4,
The drinking age in Brazil is
eighteen but this is a very lenient
law. Wine, beer and liquor are
sold in food markets along with
meat, vegetables, shampoo and
breakfast cereal.. I could „not
belieVe it when I saw this. Maybe
this is why Brazilians do not have
the drinking problems that
Canadians seem to have. Child-
ren, from a very young age
become accustomed to 'alcoholic
beverages. As Bete says,. young
kids like to try everything that is
forbidden to them. Since Brazil-
ians know. Alcohol is not strictly
forbidden to them, they look upon
drinking as a normal event not a
,sneaky thing only to be done
behind their parent's back.
Here in uptown 'Belo, there are
