    There's definitely a difference, although it's not a terribly important one. A shop might not just sell goods -- it also often offers custom services. I would go to a "coffee shop" to order coffee a barista made for me at a cafe, and while I'm there I can buy some of the coffee beans they sell. I would go to a "coffee store" to buy a wide variety of coffee or appliances that make coffee, but I wouldn't expect a coffee STORE to have café services or places to sit and drink.

    "Being negative" is too general a term here. It's more about spending a lot of time pondering thoughts around regret, grief, or shame about either things you (yourself) did, or things that happened to you. It's a time when you're not being productive or coping well with the hardships of life -- instead of pushing self-pitying thoughts out of your mind or overcoming those emotions that drag you down, you think about them and let them take control over your life. "Wallow in self-pity" means to indulge in sad, regretful feelings directed at yourself. It is a phrase mostly used by people who are annoyed at this practice.

    Big cities.

    The number of people who study, work, and live in big cities Is becoming a real problem for city goverments all around the world.  Wide, empty avenues become big parking lots in morning rush hour, and public transport never offers enough comfort, reliability, or safety. 

    A new concept that sets out to resolve these problems is called "The 24-Hour City."

    A COLD DAY IN AUTUMN

    It's a little unbelievable how cold it is today. Can you imagine how hot and sweaty it was just two days ago? Although it is autumn now, we just need to wear our summer clothes if you live in Guangdong, China. We joke that we have 4 seasons a year in Guangdong , 3 summers and 1 winter, haha. But i found it was cool, even cold, when i woke up this morning, and the ground was wet. It must have rained last night. As an old saying goes, it gets cold whenever it rains in autumn.


    I wore my summer clothes as usual this morning, and as a result, i was shivering when attending class. Temperatures often fluctuate. Sometimes it is so different from the experiences in other regions of China. As an example, two days ago it was 38 degrees centigrade and so hot in Guangzhou, while Fujiang Province in neighboring Guandong was hit by a strong typhoon, and it was 1 degree centigrade and so cold in Harbin, the north of China. Amazing ,right?


    Now, the Nation Day is coming and we'll have 7 days off. My friends and I had very busy and tiring days this week to prepare a welcome party for the freshmen in college. (We are in the same team in students' union.) Now it's time for us to do our own things and do what we want such as doing our homework, visiting some tourist attractions, being a volunteer in Guangzhou Metro or just relaxing. Actually, many people go home now if they don't have classes this afternoon because the holidays comes tomorrow. October 1st is our National Day.


    (PS: This photo of my friends and I was taken yesterday. We drew the picture on the wall to decorate the gym where the party was held successfully last night.)

    Un poco cerca mio! Hola! Me llamo Christina. Mis padres naciendo en Cuba, pero yo nací en Florida en los Estados Unidos y no soy bilingue. Nunca aprender mucho de español cuando crecimiento(?), porque mis amigos (y todo mi comunidad) en Florida son gringos. Tengo 40 años ahora, y hoy, yo vivo en San Francisco, California con mi marido y nuestros dos gatos. Trabajamos en el software de web. Me voy a ir a Cuba en este noviembre por mi primera vez, con un grupo voluntario. Estaba en Cuba por un semana solamente. Tengo familia (primos) en La Habana, y tengo alegre para veo a ellos entonces. Quiero practican español cada dia para hablan mas bien en la pais de mis padres. Como se dice "I can't wait!"? Esto es un notebook que mi escribio sin mirando a un diccionario de español. Mi gramatica es horrible, si or no? Mucho gusto! Promito que mi ingles es mucho mejor!

    The problem with that sentence is that it starts off asking a question "Does that mean....." but then ends as a declarative statement "...is not true!" You need to pick one or the other! And all the other words are awkwardly put together. Instead, you should either ask: "Does this mean that what he said in the video is false?" (if you're trying to *confirm* something that you suspect -- and assuming a male in the video) Or make a statement: "That means that what this video says is false!" (If you're trying to declare.) Using the word "mentioned" here implies something that he said very quickly, apart from the main topic of conversation. Saying something untrue is worse than just mentioning something untrue.

    It means spending all your time feeling sad about your life, instead of trying to do things that could make you feel better. To "wallow" literally means to indulge in something with the idea that it's helpful or makes you feel good, when in fact, it might not help you or benefit you.

    Here's what I think it means: The company has a goal to reach a certain level of income by 2005 and 2006, respectively. Mr. Li is eligible to receive 435,910 shares in the company only in the event that the company reaches both goals. The shares he would then receive will be split in half. If both goals are met, Mr. Li will receive half of those shares (217,955) at the end of September 2005, and then receive the rest a year later. Again, the condition to get the full amount of 435,910 is that the company must meet their revenue goals for BOTH years. Otherwise, he'll get less. Does that help?

    Saying "Come." by itself isn't really said in English conversation. If it's used at all that way, it's to sound overly formal and serious, like a butler in a haunted house ("Come. I'll show you to your room."). I never find myself saying "Come along" in conversation, although it shows up in song lyrics ("Come along, and ride on a fantastic voyage"). Most people just say "Let's go" rather than "Come along." Saying "come along" sounds old-fashioned. The more common ways to phrase it are: - Come over. "You want to come over? I got us a pizza." You only say this to mean "come over to where I'm at". - Come on. "Come on, let's go!" "Come on, you gotta tell me what she said!" - Come with me. "Come with me if you want some pizza."
