Everybody can be an heroe Today I was wondering if only Superman or Spiderman could be heroes. I don't think so. Everybody can be an heroe, for example firemen/firefighters ( what is the difference? ) ; or even someone who help an old person to cross a road. An heroe is someone who inspires respect, but who is modest and who don't realize that he is exceptionnal. A heroe doesn't think about what he does, he has no ulterior motive. He is himself, he doesn't need any fancy as Superman or Spiderman.

Everybody Can Be a Hero

Today I was wondering if only Superman or Spiderman could be heroes.
I don't think so.
Everybody can be a hero, for example, firemen/a firefighter or even someone who helps an old person to cross a/the road.
A hero is someone who inspires respect, but who is modest and who doesn't realize that he is exceptionnal.
A hero doesn't think about what he does, he has no ulterior motive.
He is simply himself, he doesn't need any fancy name?/outfit? like Superman or Spiderman.

1. Il faut toujours capitaliser le titre.
2. Il n'y a pas un espace après ( ou avant ), ou avant ! et ? comme français.
3. « Firemen » et « firefighter » sont la même, mais « firefighter » est préféré de nos jours, car il n'implique pas les rôles de genre. N'inquiétez pas, les deux sont bons !
4. Si on dit : « Firefighters AND (someone else), » il faut utilise un nombre parallèle. Par exemple : « Firefighters and people who help the elderly cross the road » OU « A firefighter and someone who helps the elderly cross the road. » Ça marche ?

Très bon travail et très interresant ! Ton anglais n'est pas mauvais ! Si tu veux me corriger, j'apprends le français et je suis debutant de ta langue. Bonne chance !

I do not know why 'fireman/firemen' is rarely used. I suspect it is because of political correctness, you see, fire "man", and that bothers people. It is likely true that there are a few firewomen, so they say "firefighters" now to include both, au moins, c'est que je pense

Great song! I didn't know it, thank you. It summurizes well what I think.
