给他买礼物，我花了很多心思。 This sentence order seems a bit strange to me. Could I also say, 我花了很多心思，给他买礼物。 Thanks,

BST真棒 (zhēnbàng)！

去年在北京学汉语的时候，大概每天早饭吃了粥啊！太好吃了。

The third line of the dialogue says, “你女儿病了，马上给她打一千块钱”, but the English translation says, "My daughter is sick. Hurry and send her 1000 kuai!" 

Which is wrong, the Chinese or English? Is it "my daughter" or "your daughter"? 

Thanks,

On this topic, I'm wondering how often us Poddies leave a post with an error, but it doesn't get corrected for whatever reason. I'm not fluent enought to tell yet. Not that it would be a big problem. Just wondering. Any grammar police out there patrolling the Cpod boards? Or do we need to solicit most corrections?

2011年夏天我一个人去西安，带了三天。第一天，我去了兵马俑。可是离酒店有点远。所以我打算去火车站，找旅行团。在那里有很多公共汽车，都是去兵马俑的车。我认为坐公共汽车比打的便宜，简单。但是很麻烦！因为经常要去购物，要去别的景点。终于花了很多时间，而且不太便宜。但是可以做朋友。兵马俑也真棒！太好玩儿了！
