Hi Peter,
The negative version of yìbiān.....yìbiān is “Negative Word +一边(yìbiān)...+ 一边(yìbiān).” So for the first sentence: “I don't like to speak, while I driving,” it should be “我不喜欢一边开车一边说话。(Wǒ bù xǐhuan yìbiān kāi chē yìbiān shuō huà.)”
The second sentence is correct. :D

“了(le)” should be added to the first sentence, so it should be“你昨天喝酒了吧？(Nǐ zuótiān hējiǔ le ba?)” The second sentence “你去了酒吧吧？(Nǐ qù le jiǔbā ba?)” is correct.

Hi Peter,
For this sentence, it is also correct to add “了(le)” in this sentence, which is “昨天John和Mary去电影院看了3D Titanic。(Zuótiān, John hé Mary qù diànyǐngyuàn kàn le sānD Titanic.)” If a sentence contains a time word, then “了” is generally unnecessary, unless required to emphasize that the action is...

OK, Alex! Now I get it. For "dentist", we say "牙医(yáyī)." "牙(yá)" means teeth, and "医(yī)" means doctor. If you want to say "go to dentist to get out a tooth," just simply say "我去拔牙(wǒ qù báyá)." For the sentence "you like Bruce Willis," I heard that you said "你像Bruce Willis，好吗？(Nǐ xiàng Bruce Willi...

Hi Alex! It's OK! So far so good! But one little thing, the better response to the question "你在哪儿学习中文(Nǐ zài nǎr xuéxí Zhōngwén?)" is "我在家和公司学习中文(wǒ zài jiā hé gōngsī xuéxí Zhōngwén)." :) Do you get it now? :)
