I have two questions:

1)

他女儿唱歌唱得特别好听。
His daughter sings especially well. 1 (His daughter sings especially well.)

In this sentence, they repeat the verb twice, but when do you know when to not repeat the verb. For example, in another phrase, they say:

他中文说得特别好。

but can you also say:

他说中文说得特别好。

can we also do this in the first sentence (take out the first verb) and still be correct? WHat is a general rule for this?

2)

In this example between these two example sentences:

<!-- /* Font Definitions */ @font-face {font-family:SimSun; panose-1:2 1 6 0 3 1 1 1 1 1; mso-font-alt:宋体; mso-font-charset:134; mso-generic-font-family:auto; mso-font-pitch:variable; mso-font-signature:3 135135232 16 0 262145 0;} @font-face {font-family:"\@SimSun"; panose-1:2 1 6 0 3 1 1 1 1 1; mso-font-charset:134; mso-generic-font-family:auto; mso-font-pitch:variable; mso-font-signature:3 135135232 16 0 262145 0;} /* Style Definitions */ p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal {mso-style-parent:""; margin:0in; margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family:SimSun;} a:link, span.MsoHyperlink {color:blue; text-decoration:underline; text-underline:single;} a:visited, span.MsoHyperlinkFollowed {color:purple; text-decoration:underline; text-underline:single;} p {mso-margin-top-alt:auto; margin-right:0in; mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; margin-left:0in; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family:SimSun;} @page Section1 {size:8.5in 11.0in; margin:1.0in 1.25in 1.0in 1.25in; mso-header-margin:.5in; mso-footer-margin:.5in; mso-paper-source:0;} div.Section1 {page:Section1;} -->

这几年来这里旅游的人很多。
A lot of people have come traveling here in the past few years. 1 (A lot of people have come traveling here in the past few years.)

Verb + 的人？

周末这家饭店人特别多。
A ton of people go to this restaurant on the weekend. 1 (A ton of people go to this restaurant on the weekend.)

Noun + 人？

How do you know to use 的人 or to just drop the 的？

My theory is that if you have a noun before 人， you don't need it? or are they both okay?

the last one should/might be:

我没说汉堡怎么做。？

Posted on: American Breakfast

This is the example from the exercises:

他不知道炒蛋怎么做。

Can you also change the order to:

他不知道怎么做炒蛋。

Also, what other things could you apply this structure to:

我不知道汉堡怎么做? i don't know how to make a hamburger.

我不知道篮球怎么打？ i don't know how to play bball

我不知道上海怎么去？ i don't know how to get to SH.

Also, can I say:

我不说汉堡怎么做？etc.. I didn't say how to make a hamburger.

I had a quick question on the listening part of the test..

should it be:

饭太冰了，不可以给小孩子吃 or should "冰“ be ”病“？

In the test, it said that it was the second one, which means that the meat is old and shouldn't be eaten anymore? or is it cold? and shouldn't be eaten..
