Why is de soeurs correct instead of des soeurs?

I've been told by a well-trained French teacher to never begin a sentence with "cependant." He said to use "bien que." Has this rule been superseded? 

Thanks!

Hi, I wanted a clarification about how to translate the passive voice. In the example :  « they were welcomed by » in English would be different than « they have been welcomed by ». The first exemple for me : « ils étaient accueillis par » and the second « ils ont été accueilli ». If it is accurate, I had test with translating this first example in French, and after being wrong I was wondering which one was right ?

The first time I did this exercise, I wrote "Je vais etre beau et elegant !" Then, I changed it to: "Je vais avoir l'air beau et elegant !", which was marked wrong. Wouldn't the use of the phrase, "avoir l'air" also be correct in this situation?

Merci beaucoup et bonne continuation !

Why is this in the subjunctive?

Why "un jus de fruit frais" and not "un jus de fruits frais" as more than one type of fruit was used in its preparation? 

J'ai vu que quelqu'un dèja demandait ce question, mais je n'a pas vu un repose. Pourquoi est-ce qu'il n'y a pas un change à sujet dans the phrase suivante: je lirai jusqu'à ce que je sois trop fatiguée?
