Unit 1 Brazil’s Deadly Sport
Listening Comprehension
The young people Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, sometimes play a deadly sport. They call it
train surfing. In train surfing, young people stand on the tops of moving trains. It is
very dangerous. Train surfers or surfistas, can fall off the train. They can also hit the
trains' electrical wires. Many surfistas die each year doing their deadly sport.
Surfistas know that their sport is dangerous. However, the surfistas often come
from very poor parts of the city, and they don‟t see much hope in their lives. The
police and the train companies try to stop the surfistas, but it is very difficult. Brazil is
not a rich country and does not have enough police to guard the trains. Instead, Brazil
tries to teach its young people about the dangers of trains surfing. Sadly, the surfistas
probably won‟t stop until their lives get better.
