Dear Ben,

I have been to Detroit and I studied at Wayne during Fall Term, 2005. It is an exchange program in which Brazilians and Americans can go for one term to eachotherīs universities. I really liked my experience there!

Concerning your text, you really know a lot about Brazil and our elections, congratulations! I agree with you when you say that Heloisa Helena would not be a good option. Her speech is old fashioned and she complains but she doesnt present solutions. Your letter to the editor was clear, well written and you really showed your opinion. Well done!

Brazilians are a hard working people and we deserve better politicians than the ones we have right now... I hope this election will improve things here.
