Venezuela
Do you know about Venezuela? I would like to show you the most amazing country in the world. Its name is Venezuela. Officially called the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, it is an American country located in the northern part of South America, consisting of a mainland and a large number of small islands in the Caribbean Sea. The capital and largest urban center is the city of Caracas. The most important aspects of Venezuela are its culture, sights, and weather.

One of them is known for its beauty and ecological importance. It was declared a national park in 1972. It called the Roques. It has white sand, clear water and spectacular blues. Another one is the Turtle. Its extraordinary surface makes it the largest island in Venezuela and one of the most beautiful. Furthermore, Venezuela has beautiful mountains. The Avila, located in Caracas, and Angel jump in Guyana are the most important in the country. The Avila can be visited by cableway, trucks or walking. When people arrive at the top of the mountain, they can see the whole city, and this is amazing. Also, the Angel jump is the highest waterfall in the world. It is unique, wonderful, and amazing to see. The Medanos of Coro are the sand formations. In the national park are permitted excursions like bathing beaches and water sports such as (sailing, skiing, surfing and diving). In established areas, there are outdoor games, hiking, camping, and picnic. We also have an amazing and important city named Caracas which is the capital of Venezuela. People go outside for diversion, night life, and a variety of delicious restaurants. Similarly, it is a world-class cosmopolitan city. In the west of the city, in the liberator municipality, tourism is important in terms of the historic town and the cableway among

Anyone would agree that 115 years is a long time. Considering that the Australian flag that we know and love today has been around around for that long, we can all agree it is time for a change. Good Morning Prime Minister Malcom Turnbull and notable guests, today I stand in front of you to show you my vision for a more updated version of the Australian flag.
Once upon a time there was a brilliant Portuguese man that started a party throwing water, eggs and flour on others, and some years later it would happen “The Carnaval”, our greatest Holiday. According to “Sua Pesquisa”, a Brazilian website, it all started during Portuguese Shrovetide, where they threw these things. It used to happen before the Lenten season, that had a freedom meaning, and this freedom is present until now on our famous and more antecipated holiday.
Most people think of exotic foods when they think of foods from other countries, but that’s not necessarily true . Locals enjoy lots of foods eaten in the United States. Steak is very big in Bolivia, so there is a lot of steakhouses. Of course, Bolivians do have some signature foods and local fruits are super tasty. Fruits like apples, grapes, kiwi, pineapple, mangos, honeydew melon, watermelons, figs, grapefruit, and many more grow there. Bolivia does has some special fruits. One of these is the Acais berries, which has a remarkable reputation because of its many vitamins and minerals. The acharya berry has a festival in its honor in January. This berry is semi-acidic. Another interesting berry is everybodys’ favorite, since it makes chocolate!!!! The cacao is an ugly looking fruit that you probably would never buy if you saw it for sale and it is not normally eaten by itself. The last fruit I’ll tell you about is a kind of banana, a guineos. These bananas are not your everyday banana, it is much smaller than an average banana and is the best banana for banana bread.
Since the 1970s, Venezuela has gone from being South America’s richest nation into a nouveau-poor society in search of an identity. Once known as the Saudis of the West, Venezuelans have seen their economic fortunes decline in exact proportion to the general fall in world oil prices. Even so, Venezuela’s many problems were hidden from view until relatively recently, when severity measures heralded the sort of economic crises so painfully familiar to other Latin American countries. Runaway inflation, currency devaluations and even food riots have marked this new phase in Venezuelan history, to which the country is still trying to adjust.
Are you tired of the stereotypical lies about Hispanics? Well I’m here to clear that up. Not all Hispanics are Mexican or Immigrants like society has told you. Not every Hispanic is a poor, Spanish speaking Immigrant. Society does not know who you are, unless they know recognize your language, origin, and culture accurately!
The Quinceañera is a celebration in Latin America that is very comparable to our Sweet 16 celebration, also know as the fiesta de quince años. The origination of the word comes from the feminine term of fifteen-year-old in Spanish. The overall celebration marks the transition from childhood to becoming a young woman. In earlier times this celebration was meant to be a teaching point for young women to learn how to cook, weave, and the art of becoming a mother. Depending on the family specifically, some can carry a religious tone, and some can be more traditional and casual.
Venezuela was one of the richest countries that emerged from the collapse of Gran Colombia in 1830 (the others being Colombia and Ecuador). For most of the first half of the 20th century, Venezuela was ruled by generally benevolent military strongmen, who promoted the oil industry and allowed for some social reforms. Democratically elected governments have held sway since 1959. Current concerns include: a polarized political environment, a politicized military, drug-related violence along the Colombian border, increasing internal drug consumption, overdependence on the petroleum industry with its price fluctuations, and irresponsible mining operations that are endangering the rain forest and indigenous peoples.

It is 2030, and President Salvador Del Salvador was gunned down outside of the San Salvador Cathedral in the capitol of El Salvador, San Salvador. Why I chose to write "Salvador" five times in the previous sentence? I have no idea. President Salvador was an atheist, yet he attended church every Sunday morning, religiously. Maybe the crowd of beautiful women that attended mass drove President Salvador to his frequent church visits. Hated throughout the country, President Salvador wore a Groucho Fuzzy Nose and Glasses to disguise himself during his weekly church visits. However, his disguise did not fool Ramiro "El Payaso" Lopez, a Mara Salvatrucha member. President Salvador had lost $20 to Ramiro in a craps game, and never paid-up. He was
Cuba is being controlled by Spain and does not want to be. The United States of America steps in, only to help. We have docked our ship at the Havana Harbor, to be with the Cubans in their time of need. February 15, 1898 Spain exploded our ship. How did this happen? SPANISH TREACHERY, they betrayed us. 250 enlisted men and 2 Officers died immediately, 14 others that were injured, died within a few days, bringing the total to 266 dead men. The Spanish do not care who they hurt, or what happens to anyone. They have so much blood on their hands! They will kill every last one of us, if they get the chance. These are the same people who kill their own people by ignorant Bull Runs. They do not care if their own people die, what makes you think that
Venezuela is a country located on the northern coast of South America, bordering the Caribbean Sea, Brazil and Colombia. Venezuela is a country full of beauties and contrasts where people can find beautiful beaches, plains, mountains, and even the majestic highest waterfall of the world (Angel Falls). Also, oil rich nation, one of the upper 10 exporting countries worldwide. During more than four decades, this country lived in full democracy until 1999, when a former military officer, who was involved in a military coup years ago, Hugo Rafael Chavez Frias won the presidential elections, and who remained in the government until he died in 2013 from cancer.
