0I'm taking a english correspondence course and this was one of my exercises. I'd like to know if I'm on the right track or not. thanks. 02br
02br
00this is the exercise: 02br
02br
001. MAKE ALL THE NECESSARY CORRECTIONS IN THE FOLLOWING. 02br
02br
00All too often it seems that the canadian national pastime is complaining about the weather our hot summers are too cool and our winters too long. If the climate is so bad here why does anyone live north of the us border. Perhaps the problem is not that canadians dont like living in canada but rather love to complain.02br
02br
00The most popular sports team in canada were at one time those with the worst records the argonauts and the modern maple leafs could this popularity be due to the ample opportunity and scope they gave to their fans for complaint. Not only do we bemoan the losing record of such teams but when they do win we dwell with glee on the possibilities of disater for next year. 02br
02br
00The same syndrome might be seen in our attitude toward our canadian heroes it has often been said that we are a nation without heroes but I suspect that we have plenty of candidates its just that we enjoy complainning so much we try to find fault wherever we can and love pointing out the clay feet of our great figures one cannot help but wonder how Canadians fare in heaven where everything is perfect, surely we must be desperately unhappy in such circumstances. 02br
