What is the school structure system in China?  I'm only familiar with the USA (pre-school, elementary, middle (intermediate) and high).

I forgot but can you go over the 'before' and 'after' the hour.

example: 5 minutes before 3pm and 5 minutes after 3pm

using cha 差 and I forgot the other word

it goes something like : san dian 差 wu?

I think it's more shocking the price of popcorn (more than the ticket) and what things cost at the theatre......getting a bit outrageous.  skip the baomihua

I think '下课' means class dismissed. not sure if can also mean school day over.

放学  is the 'exception' to the 'get off' rule of '下'学  which would have been my guess to 'get off school'.

对不起,我不认识你。那不要紧.

so '我不认识你' was interpreted as 'I don't know you'

could it also mean ' I didn't recognize you', meaning you know the person but didn't recognize him/her at first.  and if so, how could be better stated to reduce the ambiguity?
