"Going Dutch" is authentic English, if somewhat outdated. I still use it.

谢谢！

One question about

拆装

in the dialog sentence

衣柜和床都需要拆装

Does this mean just "disassembled" or "disassembled and reassembled"? If it only means "disassembled", then you do you say "reassembled"? Thanks.

Tiny typo in the English of this Expansion sentence: "responisible" instead of "responsible.

他是人事部经理，主要负责招聘和员工考核。

(He is the HR manager. He's primarily responisible for hiring and staff evaluation.)

There is an omission in the translation of this dialog sentence.  The first phrase, 我东西不多, is not in the translation.

我东西不多，有一个衣柜，一张床，一个沙发，还有一个冰箱和一台空

调。

wǒdōgxi bu duō， yǒ yīgèyīuì， yīzhāg chuág， yīgèshāā，

há yǒ yīgèbīgxiāg héyītá kōgtiá。

I have a wardrobe, a bed and a sofa. I also have a refrigerator and an air conditioner.

Mistranslation of 上午 in this dialog sentence:

 那下周六上午可以吗？
       (Then is next Saturday afternoon okay?

"Afternoon" should be "morning".
