Sure, here’s the complete text with one word in each gap:

Last year, we visited Brazil and saw the carnival in Rio. Strange as it may **seem**, we just hadn't thought of visiting Brazil before, and we couldn’t believe how fantastic it was. Rio is a great city, and it's sometimes hard to believe it’s real! We really enjoyed the carnival. We had booked some events before we arrived, and **b** did we realize how lucky we were to have tickets for the Samba show. No **sooner** had we taken our seats, than the show began. **On** the stage came groups of dancers, one after the other, for hours! That was exhausting but there was more to come. Not **until** we stood and watched the carnival parade did we realize how many people were taking part! Along the street **were** dancers and musicians, and everyone clapped and cheered. **If** anyone told me I would end up dancing in the street all night, I wouldn’t have believed them! There were such amazing costumes and floats. **Only** in a city as diverse as this, could you see so many unusual sights. Never **did** I have imagined what an amazing sight it would be. Only **when** we finally got home and looked at all our photos **did** we realize how incredible our holiday in Brazil had been. I **anyone** should want to go anywhere else for a holiday, I really don’t know!
