Hi Luis Antonio, how are you doing?

Talking about education is not easy for me. Education, educational system or teachers salaries have been too much discussed here in my country, so we must be careful with stereotypes.

As many people have said here, we have many serious problems in Brazil concerning to education. Children and teenagers are at school, but I'm not shure if they are having a good instruction. Our public schools are precarious, our private schools aren't that good and almost every institution who provide education for young people about seventeen directs its teaching to "vestibular" (a test that we have to attend to enter university) and not to learning itself.

Despite of all these things, I agree that our public universities are really good. I can name Ita, Unicamp and UFMG as some important universities here in Brazil.

So teaching in USA is one of the most wanted occupations? That's a nice thing. Here in Brazil isn't the same, I think we have lawyering, medicine and engineering as the most wanted professions.

My suggestions for your text:

1) The correct complement for the verb "precisar" is the word "de": "precisamos de reformas no sistema..."
2) "Trabalho" is a "male" word, so it's better to say "um bom trabalho"
3) The correct spelling of number ten is "dez".

I hope you can tell me some suggestions about my text, also. Sorry for talking too much! :)
See you.
