São Paulo, Brazil — a top official says Brazil is more than a year behind schedule in its
construction projects for the 2014 Soccer World Cup.
The president of Sinaenco, a brazilian architectural and engineering association, says
the government must improve its efforts or risk losing investment and the chance at hosting
future events.
“Brazil is more than a year behind,” José Roberto Bernasconi said Tuesday at Sinaenco’s
annual meeting. “The authorities have to get involved.”
Bernasconi says the World Cup will “promote Brazil and attract more investment in the
future.” But all that is at risk if construction deadlines are not met.
Brazil hosted the pan american games in Rio de Janeiro last year without major glitches. Brazil
is bidding for the 2016 olympics, which also would take place in Rio.

IELTS
The international english language testing system
The IELTS is an increasingly valuable worldwide test to assess your proficiency in English.
It tests all four skills – reading, writing, listening and speaking. There are two options offered
– academic and general training. The academic option is for those who wish to undertake
undergraduate or postgraduate studies in an English speaking country, whereas the general
training option is for emigration purposes, to take a secondary course or a professional
training course.
Universities in Great Britain, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and a growing number
in the USA and Europe ask for the IELTS as proof that a foreign student is able to study
and live in an English – speaking country. In Brazil, when applying for grant, it is one of the
English language tests applicants are asked to present to CNPQ, CAPES, FAPESP and
other funding institutions, including the british council. Not only for study purposes but also for
those who wish for funding to present papers at conferences, do training courses or training
programmes abroad.
A candidate may take the test more than once, however, there must be a three-month
interval between one test and the next. Additionally there is no expire date, but a university
or agency may ask for more recent result if the test was taken a long time ago.
