Don't be so quick to choose the best answer. Your statement: Is this mean that a device have an 8 single audio channels in mono or 8 pair channels in stereo? Corrections: DOES this mean that a device HAS 8 single audio channels in mono or 8 PAIRS of channels in stereo? I think you need to give us more context than the very short extract.

Correction - June 18th, 1972

'set out' is used to mean, the start of a journey. We set out (from Shanghai on June 18th 1972) on a journey We set out (from Shanghai on June 18th 1972) on an adventure We set out (from Shanghai on June 18th 1972) on an exciting race You can use 'set out' followed by an adverb: We set out again We set out yesterday We will set out tomorrow

There is more than American and British English. What about South Africa, New Zealand, Australia, ENGLAND, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, and other countries? Many countries use English as an official language. People forget that English is the truly native language of England not Britain or other countries. Many people speak English, but they are not natives of England. That I think is the biggest difference.

I speak with English pronunciation. Well, one of several kinds of English pronunciation. People in the south speak differently to those in the midlands (where I'm from) and the north. You can hear my voice on my youtube channel (www.youtube.com/leesenglish). The BBC has a page that allows you to listen to people from across the UK (http://www.bbc.co.uk/voices/recordings/index.shtml) One thing you can do, is listen to or watch a recording and then record your own voice saying the same thing. You can then compare your pronunciation to the original recording. An advantage of listening to your own recorded voice, is that you can hear it as other people do. All the best, Lee.

Okay. your profile says you are New to English, so I'll try to keep it simple. In China the government = CCP (1 party, no opposition). In a country with 2 parties, there is 1 leader and 1 opposition party (the opposition). * Vb. to criticise (Br.E) / criticize (Am.E) = to see and say something bad about someone/something. * The health minister = a government person in charge of everything to do with health in the country. * mixed messages = talking about something, but you are not really sure about it. On one day say something is good, on another day say it's bad. * The value of something = how good it is. * anti-viral drugs = try to stop viruses (example: H1N1). The opposition saw that the heath minister didn't know how good the anti-viral drugs were, because of the mixed messages (good one day, bad the next). The opposition party might say to the health minister: You don't know what you're talking about, and you can't tell us how good the anti-viral drugs are. I hope this helps.

1) As Eliot, and Johar's answers. 2) Eliot's reference to a cat is right, but I'd say it means "Don't get angry!" This is similar to "Keep your hair on!" 3) This is being used in the same way as "Say it to my face", and yes, this is a male-to-male exchange. 4) Nothing to do with bricks. It is stating that the person is unubtle when talking about things/people, or maybe that the person's actions are unsubtle. Example: A: Do you like my new dress? B: No! It's awful! The subtle version: A: Do you like my new dress? B: mmm, It's different/interesting.
