    I agree with Jim - it really depends on the rest of the context or story. The words "I got mad" don't necessarily imply like a deep anger to me since it is such a common way of saying that emotion. In American English, we commonly say "pissed off" instead of angry, but only in informal situations (don't say pissed off to your teachers, haha). Just so you know, "pissed" means "drunk" in British English. So, you could say, "I got pissed off and found a way myself." But I think that your original sentence is good - it just depends on the rest of the context :)

    I lived in 重庆 for 10 months and I really had an amazing time living and traveling there. The spicy food of my region wasn’t my favorite, but I loved 西安‘s food! I found everyone to be really nice and inviting. The country is giant and has so much beautiful scenery and history to see. It was difficult to adjust since our cultures are so different. I think if I could live there again I would choose 上海 or 香港 because it’s more westernized and and easier to find comforts. :)

    Tutto 😂. Food, culture, wine, history, Tuscany, the south, just all of it! The accents and dialects. I love the constant battle of what city is northern or southern. Just everything!

    他主演过多部影片. Tā zhǔyǎnguò duō bù yǐngpiàn. You should download the app "Pleco" - it's awesome for Chinese phrases :) Oh woops. Didn't see the "Action" bit. That sentence is just for "He has starred in many films." 他主演过多部动作片. Tā zhǔyǎnguò duō bù dòngzuò piàn. Hopefully a native speaker will chime in and give you the definitive answer :) hope that helped a bit!

    Teeth Cleaning

    A Chinese proverb says, "A toothache may not be a disease, but the pain will <s>be</s> kill you." I think part of the reason why this proverb is <s>so</s> popular is because in the old days, <s>the</s> dentistry was very poor that people had no idea <s>about</s> how to prevent and cure <s>the</s> toothaches. In modern times, regular teeth cleaning is one of the most important ways to protect <s>the</s> dental health. However, in China this practice has not been as widely spread as it is in the U.S., according to what I have learned.

    I guess one of the reasons is that teeth cleanings are really uncomfortable for some people and I am definitely one of those people. I had my teeth cleaned once several years ago and now, it's so hard for me to have enough courage to do it again. I always hesitate to visit the dentist and always make <s>some</s> excuses. <s>Well,</s> I hope I can overcome my psychological barrier soon!


    -------

    I found a similar proverb translation that could be the same proverb: "A toothache isn't a disease but it's a killer when it attacks." This might be a better translation into English! Otherwise you can see the grammar corrections I put above.

    The word "so" is usually considered quite informal in writing, just so you know! :)

    I hope this helped! :)

    Alexey - Yeah! You can definitely say someone is laying it on thick if they're flattering you.

    The idea of laying it on thick is that they're doing it too much, in my opinion. For example, if someone is complimenting you and it's excessive, you can tell them that they're laying it on thick. In this situation, this person could be happy/playful when they say the phrase or they could be annoyed. :)

    The best thing about the weekend is not going to work. In this case, the gerund verb "going" is a complement to the verb "is". It's a common use of the gerund in English - hopefully someone can help explain exactly why for you and provide better clarification. I hope I helped a little bit! :) Here are some other examples: -One of his duties is attending meetings. -The hardest thing about learning English is understanding the gerund. -One of life's pleasures is having breakfast in bed.

    Ingenious - Chocolate. Everywhere. Samples galore! In a beautiful Italy medieval city. It's amazing. This year it's from October 18-27. :)

    Deana - prickly pear lemonade sounds DIVINE. Animals were/are always my favorites to go visit. The show rabbits are huge! :)

    I would say A. By Internet. You would probably hear someone mention a more specific App, though ("With WhatsApp/With Facebook") or you would hear someone say "With social media." to be more general. :)

    Nothing says summer quite like a State Fair! MN State Fair always has so much food to try, which is so much fun. There is a festival in Perugia, Italy (which is where I studied abroad) called "Eurochocolate" and it's the biggest chocolate festival in Europe. 11/10 recommend, haha.
