Profile
I am Chinese studying in University of Nottingham (Ningbo, China). So you will probably meet with me by accident in Ningbo, Zhejiang province sometime. I come from Shijiazhuang while live in Jiaozuo, a city near to Shaolin Temple. I have been in Qingdao, also known as Tsingdao, a coastal prosperous city famous for its beer and tourism, for two years. I am learning English, hopefully we will help set up a nice interaction. Thanks.

    http://www.chinese.cn/hanban/tests/node_38289.htm (this web has English version) I believe you will fnd some text and practice book in Chinese bookshop (the biggest bookshop in a city is recommended), if you are in China now, you could ask some Chinese for help to find these books. I once taught Chinese in Ningbo, these books are not that difficult to find.(FB:Dwight wu,Nottingham)

    Do not wprry, Chinese (Mandarin, I mean) is casual and can be understood even if serious grammar mistake happen. Another thing may help your learning is Chinese will give incredible respect to foreigners, foreigners do acquaint previlege, you can apparently feel this if you ve been to China.Any question about Mandarin learning and dealing with Chinese, do not hesitate to ask me,My FB:Dwight Wu (Nottingham).

    'de dao" = get "huo de"= require, obtain The two sentences you have post are interchangeable. But de dao is more likely to be used in oral Mandarin while huo de is not. May this help you^-^ Happy New Year.

    什么样=which kind of. It is quite right that you perceive 什么 as the marker to put up with a question(to query), for example, 什么是你最爱吃的水果(What is your favorite fruit?) . But sometimes it could be general word,這句話沒有什麼道理。(means, "this sentence do not make sense, is nonsense"). Basically, 什么+noun=which( kind of) + noun. So, " aspect of his home is what he picky about "-----it suddenly up to my mind that the point tend to be that you omit "对"(to, with regard to), if put that sentence like 他(对他住什么样的地方, with regard to which kind of place he lives in)很挑剔 , it seems to be easier to understand. May this help u^-^

    Can you tell this word from the speech? http://www.ted.com/talks/jeffrey_kluger_the_sibling_bond.html 09:51 Seems to be "counsilling" ?? I am certain it is not "counselling"

    我的一天

    我每天上午六点半起床,七点洗澡和刷牙(It is better to say "ran hou(then brush teeth) instead of "he", In oral Chinese, you could say 七点洗澡刷牙, which naturally express you will do these in certain order, but not manage both concurrently),七点半吃早饭。差十分八点(Generally, 差十分八点 is the answer to the query of time(xian zai   ji dian   le?) and not appropriate for statement. Hence, 7dian 50 is better) 去教室,八点上课。上午我有三节课,十一点下课。中午我回宿舍吃午饭。午饭以后我复习课文或者做练习。下午也有三节课,两点上课,五点下课。下午没有课的时候我看看(quite good uasge of kan kan)动画片。
    每天五点我常常(repetition because of "mei tian") 去图书馆看书,做作业或者上网查资料。七点我回宿舍洗澡,洗衣服或者做饭。八点半钟我吃晚饭。然后我给爸爸,妈妈打电话,跟朋友聊天儿,听音乐。十二点我睡觉。

    Generally, 当=成为 while 成为 is more formal, if a woman just knowing she gets pregnant and says I am going to 成为 mother! This will be quite funny. But if this happens in a speech in public, "成为 a mother, for me, is quite meaningful"---this will be fairly good.
