Dear Maikel,

I agree with your point that the election will be understood better by the people because it is the second round, and they have more understanding of what goes on throughout election time, as opposed to the first presidential election a few years back. I believe that both candidates have both positive and negative aspects about them, and it makes me curious to see who will be elected the next president of Brazil.

Sincerely,
Rachel Battjes
