by the way, who taught you all that grammar? you may want to ask your SISU instructors on how questions should be posed.

Does this constitute academic research these days? Asking a bunch of bland questions on internet forums...

As for me, I will sleep and listen to the music

Take some aspirin and hold my head and moan until the hangover stops.

Certified and know prepositional phrases suck to master for Chinese.. I am not any better and it is my native tongue. I never do anything "at" the weekend I always do "on" the weekend. You are also doing a project "on" an expats life or "about" an expats life....that being said, I like to walk around and see the city but I am new. I am sure the sleep til 5pm days are near. Good luck and oral english, prof Dow is 200rmb per hour...em me. PM me.

You admit your grammar is no better (which is obvious), but you want 200 RMB per hour to teach it to somebody else. You're sure you'll soon be sleeping till 5 PM. And you say you're a professor? Sheesh. . . no wonder the West is in trouble.

well, the brits say "at the weekends" the much of the rest of the engrish speaking world tends to say "on the weekends" thanks to Hollywood's influence.
