- What do the small marks next to traditional chinese characters mean? I bought an old children's book from a book sale which I think is written in traditional Chinese (I recognise some of the characters and it says it was distributed in Taiwan). However there are small marks next to most of the characters which I have not encountered before. What do these mean? Thanks!May 18, 2013100
- I don't know the correct grammar terms for these but hopefully these examples might help. Firstly "to have" is a simple verb of possession. I (or they) have a book (first person singular or plural present), She has a book (third person singular, present), I (or she) had a book (singular and plural, past tense). Have, has and had can also be used to express actions completed in the past.i.e. "to have done something" I have read that book. She has read that book. When it comes to had, the meaning is slightly different. "I had read that book" sounds funny on its own and requires extra information. For example, I bought a new book from the store but then I realised that I had read it already so I returned it. "had had" occurs in the above situation when taking about the verb "to have" in the past. i.e. I had had a coffee already that morning so I did not need another. Should, would, could are all forms of the conditional tense which can be used with the "to have done something" structure. "should have" is taking about actions that have not been completed in the past. similar to "ought to have" i.e. the student should have studied for the test. This implies that the student did poorly in the test because she did not study. "would have" is talking about actions that were not possible in the past. She would have studied for the test had she not had the flu. I hope those examples help and have not confused you further!0 votedMay 18, 20132
About the city of Shenzhen.
I live living in the city of Shenzhen. She It is a young and inclusive city where in south China. It has sunshine, blue sky, the sea and beaches; that everything that is beautiful. It has a temperate humid climate. Because here it is a seaside city, there is a breeze; even though it is getting hot as summer approaches. although summer was coming started to get hot that it feels breeze. But today there is no sunshine, it' s overcast.
Shenzhen is different of to Beijing and Shanghai. She It has no have obvious Chinese features, but she has oneself feature! She it is called "City Of Design".
Shenzhen has more beautiful scenery, e.g. Window of the World, Happy Valley, JinXiuZhongHuaMinSuCun, and OCT East. That It also has a lot of delicious food. Certainly, Shenzhen's people are warm and lovely! On the whole, Shenzhen is a modern city and all things with many very interesting things. Welcome to Shenzhen!

Let me talk about my favorite sport, basketball.As far as I know, the NBA is the most famous basketball association in the world which is made up of 30 teams from America and Canada. The organization was founded in New York like 60 years ago.I still remember that my roommates and I watched the NBA games in dormitory nearly 4 years ago. At that time Yao Ming was still in Huston rocket which millions of Chinese basketball fans really pay close attention to it. In the playoff games, Huston Rocket met Los Angeles Lakers and their best player Tracy McGrady was injured. This means that Yao Ming had to undertake more obligations. But unfortunately, before the end of the game Yao Ming was also hurt by Kobe. He lay on the ground and felt really uncomfortable. But he did not quit the competition and came back to the play ground. Finally, He inspired his teammates to win that game.
Actually, that game left a deep impression on me.Also, "like 60 years ago" is a very informal way to write this. you could say instead "about" or "around 60 years ago"

Could be right, could need to change "to undergraduates" to "for undergraduates". 3)There are not any seats for the cheaper air tickets. However you may want to say something more like "There are no seats left at the cheaper ticket price"0 votedMay 11, 20130
