Your English is excellent.
Demo reels need to be short, first of all. Don't feel the need to fill out all of three minutes if you don't have the great material. Only use the best.
If you are only using the reel to show off your editing expertise (not shooting or graphics or color correction) then you need to show off as much of that as possible, which is very hard to do in two or three minutes. I'd definitely start with some flashy stuff up front if you have it and then also try to show some stuff that is just very smoothly edited - like an ice skater in the Olympics, you also want to show off a variety of styles and speeds - fast and slow, powerful and elegant, effects and clean. Load as much great stuff into the first 30 seconds as possible, because that's all most people will probably ever watch. When you are "done" show it to some trusted friends and colleagues and some complete strangers. Maybe go to a coffee shop and show it to someone or post it on the internet and ask us for our opinions on the avid-L2. Then revise to match the advice that seems correct.
Good luck Dario
