Hello grace, I have problem listening to the last Qingwen (the red spectum of meaning) and the elementary (visiting a friend's room), could you fix it ? Thank you.

Hi again, in the sentence :

I like to spend these moments in family

我喜欢在家里度过这些时间。

What I mean is that you aren't necessary at home, you can be also in a restaurant or else.  Would it be "jia1li3" then ?

谢谢 Grace.

Hi Odile,

When you say "I like to spend these moments in family." , do you mean "you like to spend these moments with your family members"?

Yes, that's it.

So you should say"wo3 xi3huan he2 jia1ren2 zai4 yi4qi3 de shi2guang1(bu4guan3 zai4 na3li3；no matter where)."我喜欢和家人在一起的时光（不管在哪里）。

thank you Grace.

Hi Odile，照片上你的前面是你说的那个像shelf的桌子吧？（Zhao4pian shang ni3de qian2mian shi4 ni3 shuo1de na4ge xiang4 shelf de zhuo1zi ba？）Is that the desk like a shelf as you said in front of you in the picture?

Hi Grace, in the picture, I am sitting at a table in a restaurant and the 茶壶 is on the round circle in the middle of the table.

Hi Grace, is that sentence right ?

现在我觉得好的好的号码是很容易几的。

Hi Odile, the lesson works correctly here. How about other lessons?

Hi Odile, I'm sorry I didn't see this question before.

现在我觉得好的好的号码是很容易几的。I guess there is some mistake in the sentence. Do you want to say 现在我觉得电话号码是很容易记的？

谢谢Grace你用我的固定电话打给我。Is this sentence right ?

other sentence :她一个人出去呢我不放心因为我觉得不安全。

Odile，你的句子说得很好:)没有问题。

Grace, can you check these sentences ?

昨天我买了一双鞋，我觉得它们很合适而且穿起来很束缚。

昨天我修建了草坪因为草很大，这个月常常下大雨，草长了很快。

你好 Odile，

1. 昨天我买了一双鞋，我觉得它们很束缚。（“束缚to restrain”应该是“舒服”。）

2. 昨天我修建了草坪因为草很大，这个月常常下大雨，草长了很快。（“修建to build”应该是“修剪”；你可以说“草很高”；应该说“草长得很快”。）

谢谢 grace,

今天我要摘 (to pick up avocado on the tree)，真可惜不能给你一些 !

哇，avocado（牛油果niu2you2guo3），你一般怎么吃这种水果？

Hi Grace, the lesson Trouble with Grades is not working correctly. Could you fix it ? Thank you.
