@hezhicheng

If I may, 看起来很特别 and 样子很特别 are essentially the same except for probably very subtle differences in usage. I feel 看起来很特别 is applicable in a broader sense, in reference to things, people, situations, relationsahips, etc. However, 样子很特别 has a more narrow usage, more in reference to the appearance, shape, size or physical characteristics of something.

I don't think I would say 样子很特别 when commenting on a father-daughter relationship, for instance, but would use 看起来很特别. Hope that helps : )

Thanks you for that link. That's such a great dictionary!  And good-looking, too: cool and calm blue color ; )

Amber, do you want my George Michael "Faith" CD? It's gathering dust somewhere in my house. I'd love to send it to you if you want!

Hi, Bill

If I may, "一年已经" is incorrect. 已经一年了 (It's been a year already.) Can't explain the grammar, but I'm certain of it : )

I don't think you can see the entire pdf on the iPod, only the dialogue. I have an iPodTouch and can get to the dialogue by tapping on the lesson. However, you can open the entire lesson pdf out of iTunes.
