Countdown to World Youth Day
For almost one week, hundreds of thousands of young people from around the world will be in Rio de Janeiro to take part in a large religious gathering [2] that will be attended [3] by Pope Francis

WYD  is a great event that brings together young people from all over the world every two to three years. The last one was in 2011 in Madrid, Spain, and attracted more than two million people. In Brazil, the event will take place in Rio de Janeiro, from July 23 to 28. WYD is more than a religious event. Besides Masses [4]  and talks [5]  , there will be concerts and cultural events. The official website for WYD Rio 2013 says that this event is expected to attract young people with adventurous spirits from every continent, of every race, creed [6]  and religion, to celebrate friendship andconcern [7]  for others. The organizers of WYD believe it will leave an important social, cultural and economic legacy for Rio de Janeiro and Brazil. World Youth Day was established by Pope John Paul II in 1985.

Pope Francis's agenda in Brazil

Pope Francis will arrive in Brazil on July 22. He will be staying at Residência do Sumaré, in Rio. This is where Pope John Paul II stayed on his visits to Brazil in 1980 and 1997. The Argentine Pope will stay in Rio de Janeiro throughout WYD, celebrating Masses and attending events. Pope Francis will attend the opening of a wing [8]  of the St. Francis of Assisi hospital, which specializes in treating young drug addicts. The Pope will also visit a shanty town and meet five young prison inmates [9]  . On the morning of July 24 he will take a helicopter to Aparecida, where he will celebrate Mass. On the afternoon of the same day he will return to Rio.

Religion Pope Francis: a revolution of simplicity The world was surprised by the choice of the first Latin American pope, the first Jesuit to become pope, and the first to adopt the name Francis. In his days as pontiff he captivated the world with his simplicity and surprising atitudes On the evening of March 13 the world was introduced to a new pope: the smiling and charismatic Argentinean Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio. The next day, Bergoglio went to the hotel he stayed at during the conclave, and paid the bill [1]. He did not want to wear [2] the traditional gold ring [3] that other popes wore. Nor did he want to wear the beautiful red shoes [4] made for the Pontiff, and he kept on wearing his old black shoes. On March 22 he celebrated a Mass for the Vatican's gardeners [5] and janitors [6]. Days after being chosen to be the new pope, he called a newsstand [7] in Buenos Aires to tell the owner that he wanted to cancel his subscription [8] to the newspaper La Nacion, as he was now living in Rome. This snippet [9] was revealed by his sister, Maria Elena. The new pope also telephoned priest friends in Buenos Aires.  Making his own meals Bergoglio was born in Buenos Aires. While still a Cardinal, he lived in a small apartment in the Argentinean capital, and used to make his own meals. He used to take the bus and subway, and visit the slums [10] in the city. Pope Francis likes tango and soccer (he is a fan of San Lorenzo). In 2001 he visited a hospital and washed and kissed the feet of 12 patients with AIDS.  When he was young, he had a serious illness and lost part of one lung [11]. Time went by and Jorge Bergoglio seems to be in good health, aged 76.   Vocabulary 1 to pay the bill – pagar a conta 2 to wear – usar 3 ring – anel 4 shoes – sapato (s) 5 gardener – jardineiro 6 janitor – faxineiro 7 newsstand – banca de jornais 8 subscription - assinatura 9 snippet – refeição 10 slum – favela 11 lung - pulmão
