use of "te" rather than "tu"

"nous descendrons "te" rejoindre dans la cuisine" This is how that appeared in the corrected dictation. What is "te" in reflexive verbs? Is this a misprint?

De + infinitive

Is there an lesson on the construction "de + infinitive"? Having finished the course I can't see one, and of course it is used frequently: e.g. La bonne résolution d'Isabelle est de découvrir d'autres cultures.

Why was voudrais incorrect?

On the quiz, I was given Je ________ un jouet! and put voudrais in the blank. It was marked incorrect and veux given as the correct answer. I though you could use either. Why was voudrais wrong?

It’s very difficult to decipher what’s being said when those talking speak so quickly and don’t pronounce every word clearly. More slowly please?

What was wrong with “les noix”?

Were they under-cooked? Is this referring literally to nuts/walnuts as part of the meal - or is it a part of the scallop, or a reference to the scallop?

image vs dessinI used the word "dessin" and it was marked incorrect and replaced with image. In the same text, in the next sentence, I used "image" and it was marked incorrect and replaced with dessin!
