How to write July 6, 1998 in French?

The model text uses "ont fait transféré"—should that not be "ont fait transférer"?  (As another thing, I don't think "saisi" should be translated into English as "seized" in this context: more like "informed" or "apprised".)

1. Can we use des salades mélangées instead of des salades compasées?

2. Can we use glaces instead glaçons? I looked it up on Google translate. Glaçons means ice cubes while glaces means simply ice. Wouldn't it be better to use the more general word ice? 

"Cette maison est bien."

Am I correct in thinking that, in this case, "bien" is describing the house and is therefore an adjective?

If this is true, then "bien" can be an adjective as well as an adverb.

Please could you tell how to know when to  use "bien" or "bon" as an adjective.

In other words, why did the question not read "Cette maison est bonne" ?

My attempt was different from the quiz’s offered answers. But is it okay? ->

“et cette fois, je serais d’accord à sortir avec Paul”

In the final sentence, I was expecting "ensemble" to be placed immediately after "lit", as reading is the thing being done together. Can someone explain why it isn't, please?

According to this lesson, "Marie a manqué l'école." should translate to "School misses Marie." But in the quiz, the correct answer is "Marie didn't go to school." 

When I click on the Learn and Discuss button, it redirects me to the "manquer (de)" page, which is not what is used in the original sentence (manquer à). 

Wouldn't the proper translation be "Marie a manqué d'école"? Help is appreciated. 

I wanted to ask if you could have the option of listening to this in a beginner speed as it is now, then pick a higher speed after you have gone through the lesson. 

Thank you for this great site. I don’t use it as often as I should. Too many courses on the go, but I’m planning to make better use of this site this year. 

C'est très utile mais ils parlent trop vite pour moi.

 In the following question the answer is given as 'plus d'argent que' having de before plus doesn't sound right to me, can someone explain please.

J'ai besoin de ________ l'année dernière pour produire l'exposition.

I need more money than last year to produce the exhibition.
