	Yankee  +  835074 Mon, 27 Jul 09 02:40 AM Hi Gilysse 1. This is Malaysia's flag. OK 2. These are China's people. Possible if "these" is used to refer to all of the people in China, or if "these" refers to a few people who represent/symbolize all of the people in China. 3. Jefferson Elementary's school hall. No.  What do you mean by "hall" here?

	gilysse  +  835697 Mon, 27 Jul 09 12:37 PM "hall" is a large room for assembly, I never realised it's not commonly used. Ok, bad example, what about "Jefferson Elementary's office"? gilysse Punctuation, Apostrophes, Asia
