M: You know this isnt the first time that people are saying Brazil will be a great economic power. The same thing was said over a hundred year ago. But it didnt happen.
W: Yes, but you must admit the worlds a very different place now.
M: Of course. In fact I believe theres maybe some truth in the prediction this time around. First of all, though, we must remember the problems facing Brazil at the moment.
W: Such as?
M: Theres an enormous gap between the rich and the poor in this country. In Sal Paulo, you can see shopping malls full of designed goods right next door to the slam areas without water and electricity supplies. A lot of work needs to be done to help people in those areas improve their lives.
W: What needs to be done?
M: Education, for example. For Brazil to be successful, we need to offer education to all Brazilians. Successful countries like South Korea and Singapore have excellent education systems. Brazil needs to learn from these countries.
W: So you are hopeful for the future.
M: As I said earlier, Im hopeful. This isnt an easy job. We need to make sure that these important opportunities for Brazilians arent wasted, as they were in the past.
