    Hi! I don't quite understand if sentence A and B are supposed to be part of a dialogue or not. In any case, I think that in sentence A the verb "to be" that you need to conjugate does not refer to the person/people who were with "you", but refers to "you" specifically. Therefore, since you should use "were" when applied to "you", the question should be "Who were you with last night?" independently of the amount of people who may have been there.

    I believe they are! It's definitely not a hard rule, but I think that using a "-" in compound words makes the whole sentence easier to read ("mosquito-proof" in this case). In the same regard, I believe that when you use a compound word as that one, the "mosquito" part should be singular like you wrote in sentence 1, not plural like the second one. Anyway these are absolutely tiny details. Very good English in my honest opinion!

    1) About your first two questions: the main problem is that the first option ("speaking to us" and "leaving yesterday") includes the verb conjugated in the present, so it doesn't sound natural and is kind of confusing. In sentences like those you generally express these sort of ideas in the past. 2) About the last question: "students leaving university" is a more vague expression so you should not specify "in the coming months", while "who will leave" implies that you predict thay they will leave in the future. The "who are leaving" option has the same problem as the previous ones that I mentioned in point 1). Maybe a clearer way to express it would be "The majority of British students who are leaving university don't expect to get satisfying jobs in the coming months due to the weak job market". Good luck and please ask me if I wasn't clear about something.

    Las pinturas

    Tengo muchos cuadros y pinturas en mi apartamento. Hay pinturas que compré hace muchos años, y unos, no muchos, que compré más recientemente. Hay una pintura en mi pasillo que he tenido desde mi primer apartamento, hace treinta años. Es una pintura pequeña, sobre una escena en Asia, con un edificio, quizás un templo, con la luna por encima. Lo he tenido por tanto tiempo que necesité mirarlo otra vez para recordar la escena. Es algo que yo paso cerca todos los días, pero nunca lo miro. Lo compré de una amiga en una iglesia que asistí hace muchos años. Si recuerdo, pague 5 dólares. Tengo otra pintura que es una escena del centro de la ciudad de Chicago, con el puente sobre el rio Chicago, y rascacielos de ambos lados. Esa pintura fue pintada en el vidrio de una ventana vieja, y el marco es la madera de la ventana. Compré eso hace 18 años. Está en mi comedor, apoyado en la pared.
    La primera pintura que compré después de que me mudé de la casa de mis padres fue una copia de una pintura de Claude Monet, y era una escena de agua (¡por supuesto, con Monet!) y barcos de vela. Cuando era joven, me encantaba Monet. La primera vez que estaba en Chicago fue para una exhibición suya en el museo de arte. Pero no tengo esa pintura ahora. La di a un vecino.
    Por coincidencia (o no), los últimos cuadros que compré son imagines de nenúfares. Monet, por supuesto, es famoso para sus nenúfares. Es posible que ellas serán las ultimas que compraré en esta época de mi vida, en Chicago. Comencé con Monet, y terminara con él.

    Las ardillas rayadas

    Ayer escribí de pájaros en mi patio.
    Sin embargo, los pájaros no eran los únicos animales que vinieron a mi patio.
    Habían otros animales visitando, como ardillas y ardillas rayadas.
    Las ardillas vienen todo el año, al contrario de las ardillas rayadas que hibernan cada invierno.
    Cada fin del invierno estaba muy feliz de ver la primera ardilla rayada apareciendo.
    Con mucha paciencia era posible darles cacahuetes de la mano.
    Primero tenían mucho miedo pero después de dos o tres semanas saltaban sobre mi regazo.
    No obstante, después de cada invierno largo hibernando, olvidaban todo y necesitaba recuperar sus confianzas.

    Adjunté una fotografía que tomé de una ardilla rayada en mi patio.

    The weather in Sunnyvale

    I have stayed in Sunnyvale for two months. It has never rained. I think the weather is quite different than another place that I used to live at in China .Sometimes I saw that the colour of the sky was dark, and I thought it would rain in that very moment, but then the sun came out. What a surprise! It may be raining in China, but not here.
    Many people said the air is so dry beacuse there's no rain, but I think it's ok .Maybe I will stay in the north of China .Chinese north is drier in Winter.
    The sun is always there, it seems like it's day for 24 hours, because when I came here, the sun rised at about 6 o'clock in the morning and it was down at 9 o'clock p.m.
