Here are the changes that have been made to correct the pasaage:
a) Deleted the unnecessary words.
b) Deleted 'a'. Incorrect article usage before a plural word.
c) Changed 'show' to 'shows'. Subject-verb agreement error.
d) Changed receive to receives. Subject-verb agreement error.
e) Added spacing between 'in' and 'front'. These are two different words, not one word.
Replaced 'about' to 'for'. Correct proposition usage.
f) Replaced 'us' by 'we'. Correct pronoun usage.
g) Changed 'want' to 'want'. Subject-verb agreement error.
h) Replaced 'of' by 'for'. Correct preposition usage.
