Hi tal

> collaborative cheating schemes

This reminds me of another episode. The Chinese friend also told me that some of his daughter's classmates held a meeting for "collaborative cheating" the day before national college entrance exam.....over beer, hehe. I don't know if the meeting was fruitful.

Hi rocky26

“的” can be omitted before “朋友”. It's up to you. I prefer placing “的” when it's “我的朋友是中国人”, for example. On one hand, I don't use “的” in the case of “我朋友的父亲是老师” because I hate to use two “的” in a phrase.

Hi rocky26

“同屋” is a roommate, who is not your family, but you can omit 的 just like you can do so with 同事 (colleague) and 同学 (classmate). The character “同” implies a kind of "attachment", and this is the reason you can omit 的. The same holds true for “同桌”.

Hi rjberki and tal

在中国“后果自负”就是硬道理！连我家的小胖狗都清清楚楚了解这个不可不知的原则。她走路非常小心，很怕掉进“陷阱”。这里隐患太多了！

Hi aylish

中国人很善于用牙咬开啤酒瓶盖。好像中国人的牙齿很结实（要不的话，瓶盖的质量不够好）！

I always wonder how many drunken people die after falling into a cover-less manhole in the PRC every year.

I hear that tomatoes were regarded as a kind of ornamental plant when they were first introduced in Europe. In Japan, people (me included) generally think tomatoes are a vegetable, but not a fruit.
