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 |

| by the way, who taught you all that grammar? you may want to ask your SISU instructors on how questions should be posed. |
I guess my teachers will be quite disappointed if I tell them this. I will improve my grammar this summer. thank you! |

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. |
