    Well, unfortunately this challenge has been ended due to a copyright issue I was unaware of. Someone must have posted the video to YouTube without permission. This is too bad as it was such a fun challenge. We'll try another one again soon. Does anyone want to start one?

    Great effort M. Adaway! You deserve a gold too. "world class" "oh so cold"
    For Line 17-check "you also" and "under eject".

    Dear Tara!
    (I hope,I won't edit this one on the same time with someone else,like yesterday.)
    Line 16:
    Canadians are so generous,they share with us their brithest stars and music,comedy,acting,sports and journalism.

    M. Adaway Great! Check these words and try to correct them: "broad", "fringing forms" "also cold"

    Monika: Check Nafis's comment below yours. She got the right words there. Snag is a town in the Yukon. "Wind chill" is the extra feeling of cold you feel when it's windy. For example the real temperature may be 0 degrees but with the wind chill it feels like -10.

    I love the work you are all doing here. It's so great! Okay, let's move onto Line 16 at 2:35.

    Line 15:
    Hi Tara!I'm sorry,but I don't understand these two underlined words:

    The coldest year ever recorded in North America occured in 1947,in snagged Yukon,minus 81 degrees,not including windshield.
  • Nafis February 25, 2010 20:02
    Line 15: The coldest air ever recorded in North America occured in 1947 in Snag, Yukon, -81 degree, not including wind chill.

    Thanks and have a terrific time,

    Great Monika! Just one tiny typo: "split into"
    Okay we're at 2:06. Who's next?
  • Monika February 24, 2010 20:14
    Line 13:
    In a snapshot,Canada is a huge country,second largest in the world,next to Russia,but its population is only about tenth of the size of the United States,34 million,split in the 10 provinces and 3 territories.

    Delete Comment Thank you Tara and Nafis,for correcting me!
    I've just droped in,so I missed it.
    For Nafis it isn't:our two nations?for line 9.
  • Tara Benwell February 24, 2010 17:48
    Nafis: "Our two nations". And freight should be "two-way trade" . Great try.

    Okay to make sure we are all at the same part I'll write Line 12: " Canada, some may be surprised to learn, is America's largest oil supplier and the United States is Canada's #1 tourist destination."

    The next person should start Line 13 (starts at 1:49 in the video).
