@chenlei, "超级女声” and "快乐女生" are same competition shows, the best female singer will win. American Idol, we call it “美国偶像”,Měiguó ǒuxiàng.

@bodawei, "师傅,靠边停车", Shīfu, kàobiān tíngchē, exactly, it's also frequently used. And there is no "在" in this sentence.

Thanks!!!You can add "请" in these short sentences, it's much better and polite!!!!

“师傅,请靠边停车” Shīfu,(qǐng kàobiān tíngchē) Sir, pull over please!

@janmusi, “有什么不了解的,尽管来问我”,If you have any questions, feel free to let me know.

But I think this one is much better: 有什么不了解的,来问我就好了!!(smile!!!!!) The latter is a nicer way to say that!!

@Jack, “顾客" means the customers who go to someplace to get their service or goods, commenly used in supermarket, hotels, restaurants. But “客户” is a bigger word, all customers, clients can be called “客户”.

@lambaa,

"How long have you been here?",你来了多久了?

"How long will you stay" 你还要呆多久?“呆”,to stay.

@emberswift, it's regardless of good thing or bad thing when you "成全" someone! "这门", "门” is used here as a measure word.

Here is my try:

"Some students have a good grasp of the basics of Chinese, but they still can't implement their skills into the spoken language." 有些学生中文基础知识掌握得不错,但是他们不会把这些知识很好的运用在口语中。

@rjberki, thanks for noticing! I'm working as a councelor now, so one account is for my students, the other one is for Admin. There are some different features of the two accounts.

They are respectively:

helenshen_councelor

Shenyajina

I'm not sock puppet!
