Avoir besoin de test question

The question in the test quiz "Cette année, Michaël ________ perdre du poids" is marked wrong if you enter "doit", it wants "a besoin de". Whilst this is correct in the context of this lesson, as far as I can see looking at the lesson comparing the use of Devoir and Avoir besoin de, the use of "doit" would also be reasonable.

Multiple Choice answers in English, not French

I just tried twice to complete a test on lui & leur. All the alternatives in the drop-down list appeared in English, not French. What's going on? The corrections were all in French!!

Impératif tense

I know that me changes to moi, te changes to toi, what about se? Does it become soi?

Eg: tu m'assieds --> assieds-moi

Tu s'assieds --> assieds-soi??

Aimer Beaucoup

Je l'ai trouvé intéressant que l'on ne dit pas "aimer beaucoup" pour exprimer "aimer très fort". J'ai consulté ensuite quelques ressources sur Internet. Parmi des Français sont d'accord avec l'explication sur ce site mais il y a bien d'autres Français qui ne sont pas d'accord avec elle et qu'ils croient qu'"aimer beaucoup" est le même qu'"aimer très fort".

Existe-t-il des différences dialectiques, peut-être?
