My Paragraph, Some feedback or improvements may help.


Two important and noteworthy events are coming to Brazil the first is the World Cup and the second is the Olympics. Both of these events cost a pretty penny and many do not want them to be held in Brazil. It is ridiculous to think that an impoverished country like Brazil is going to hold two extravagant events that it can barely afford. According to Dave Ziran, “this will be the most expensive World Cup in history, with a low-estimate price of $15 billion dollars” (‘There Will Be No World Cup’: Brazil on the Brink). The price tag only starts to inflate more, if you add in the Olympics that will begin in the summer. Not only is money an issue but these are also colossal events that take organization and planning. More prosperous nations could host the world cup and make a more spectacular display than Brazil could ever hope to accomplish. Some argue that Brazil should at least try to take on one event and not two but it is still unreasonable. The money going to these events can be redirected to other issues and Brazil is simply not ready yet for any of these monumental tasks the world is asking for.
