Good lesson.  In the expansion sentences: 衣服怎么样?is translated as: How's this article of clothing? 

I would say a better translation may be: How do these clothes look?  We would never use the word 'article'.

Great lesson guys..incidentally, I did get lost on my way to a job interview.. but I have now worked there for almost 3 years!

People's Square is a nice place, but an odd thing I saw there once was lots of Chinese parents advertising there son or daughter for love/marriage with a picture/advert.  Quite bizarre, material for a lesson perhaps?  Interesting, if not just from a cultural point to say the least!

Hi Jenny, great lesson. I think an apology is not necessary, I live in the UK and although it is a public holiday, most people just see it as a day-off and a time when many people go shopping. I went once myself but the sheer number of people made it not the best experience I've had to say the least!
