January 24, 2011 at 10:11 AMWhen you are RANKING things on a list, you can use "倒数第一" instead of "最后". However, 倒数第一 cannot be used to talk about the order in which things happened.

January 24, 2011 at 7:46 AM在说"排名"的时候，我们会用到"倒数第X"。"倒数第一、倒数第二、倒数第三......" 。用"最"不能完全表达清楚。
"最后","最矮" 比 "倒数第一"口语。

January 24, 2011 at 1:14 AM1. "不同"的后面可以加"的"，也可以不加"的"。"来自不同的国家"也是正确的。
2. "我是担心...", 这个句子里的"是"表示后面说的是原因和目的。
"我发愁的原因是担心国际学校学生都来自不同国家......"

January 26, 2011 at 2:51 AM"legal disclaimer" 免责声明，免责条款，法律免责声明，这三种说法都可以。
可以说：John在课程结束之前，说了一段免责声明。
