Hello, my name is Kristina. I have been going to Hope Street for 1 1/2 years I really enjoy it here. In America we elect a president every four years, do you guys have a president? And if you do when do you elect them? And how often? Or is there an appointed person to lead your country?

Hi! My name is Misael! I'm Brazilian. Here in Brazil we have a president. There are elections every 4 years to elect the president, and all the Brazilians must vote (democratic election). It's also a big country to govern. Brazil has 27 states, and each state has an autority to govern.

Hello Kristina,

My name is Sandra and I`m Brazilian. In answer to your questions, we also elect a president every four years, we`ll be having a new election in 2010. How about you? How old are you? What are your hobbies? I`ve been studying English for four years now because I`ve lived in the US for one year and I really felt the need of learning it.
