    The only addition or alteration I might make is this: ...was induced on ten occaisions; the term "AF times" describes how many times... Basically I reduced the number of instances you said "times", and replaced your second use of the word "means". Changing the wording this way makes it seem less repetitive , but still has the same meaning.

    I will also make this one point: The sentence "ni zai nali gongzuo?" Translates literally, "You at where work?" If this sentence was changed to "ni zai gongzuo nali?", the meaning changes completely. The preposition "zai", meaning "at/in" becomes the present continuous tense marker when used in front of a verb. So "Ni zai gongzuo nali?" means "You are currently (ie right now as we speak) working where?" Can you see the difference there? In order to get the meaning "at where" in general tems, "nali" must come between "zai" and the verb "gongzuo", or else you have the very specific continuous tense of the verb. Notice in the sentence "Ni zhu zai nali?" that the verb "Zhu" comes BEFORE the preposition "Zai", therefore "zai" is the preposition "at/in", and not the continuous tense marker.

    The Pimsleur language course is EXCELLENT for developing correct pronunciation and accent, and starts at a beginners level. Dr. Pimsleur's research in language aquisition is of the highest level, and if you try his course you will find not only that you can speak Chinese, but that you will REMEMBER it too!

    "Be fooled" indicates a passive action, meaning that the object is the recipient of the action of the verb "fooled". Here, fooled means "deceived" or "tricked". So the sentence breaks down quite easily: "Do not" : Negative command. "be fooled" : be the recipient of deception "by..." : indicator of who or what is performing the deception. Compare with Harregarre's example: "Don't be fooled by his appearance, he's a bad guy." "His appearance" is performing the act of deception, and "be fooled" indicates that you are the subject of the action, because of the passive tense.

    Having no sentence context doesn't help! But I agree with Fanahan, Francesca & Noor, "sat night" most probably means "saturday night"

    "Ok, thanks" or "Good, thanks" are the most common replies you will hear in any English speaking country. You can also use personal pronouns in your reply. "How are you?" "I'm good thanks." Another good way is to use the verb, "feel", to express an emotion or feeling. "How are you?" "I feel fine, thanks." "How are you?" "I feel sick." "How are you?" "I'm feeling wonderful!" :-)

    My native language is Australian. So the proper way to greet someone in Australian is, "G'day mate, how's it goin?" Translated: "Good day friend, how are you?"

    The sentence, "A Comparative Study of English and Chinese Body Language" is correct. The key word here is "and". In this sentence, it shows two different types (English AND Chinese) of the same subject, "Body Language". Therefore "Body Language" should be in the singular. Chelsea's response is therefore correct.
