Interesting lesson on one child policy. Great information when I will travel.

It was a pleasure to meet you and the rest of the team at your office.

A suggestion for next "Dear Amber", how about the Chinese purchasing power. During my stay, I see products like laptop,cell phones, Haagen-Dazs, western brand clothing which are the same price as one would get in Europe. On the other hand, brand like McDonalds,KFC and Coca-cola are on the parity of Chinese wages. What do really local people consume ? Who live on the western lifestyle ?

我上不了网 shang bu liao wang : I'm unable to connect to internet.

I thought 了 le marked only the past.

I think the gap between intermediate and upper intermediate is becoming larger. I find some elementary more difficult than this lesson.

Anyone tell me the exact meaning 事情 shi qing ? work, homework

Great lesson with 辣的方便面

chiongzibide how did you write 方便词汇 -fang1bian ci2hui4 with MouseEvent on it. When you pass the mouse on the characters, a window appears.

Any difference with 方便面 and 跑面 or just synomyn for instant noodles ?

Thank auntie68 and shensw for your explanations.

I dislike this new interface on the lastest version of Firefox, I can't read the comments. I call that a regression.

You forgot to translate 本加 like shuaibao I don't understantd it. By the way, what does 加 means ?

乘客 = passenger,  乘坐 also mean passenger or seat ?

About the Sichuan earthquake. "A terrible tragedy on Buddha's birthday and exactly 88 days before the Olympics (2008 年 8月 8日). Caused by the shift of Tibetan plateau to the Sichuan bassin." Coincidence ? Just my 2 cents opinion

I agree with Bryan, this lesson is much easier than the one on geology (upper intermediate). Darylk, where did you find the conditional "if then " statement. Was it in the extra lesson (premium) ?
