It can't be referring to 不走 as completed action because it's an action that never happen, right? It is from a book translated from english. The english version has it as "I thought he'd never leave.". Also I see 還 in this sentence as indicating unexpectedness. And 以為....呢 as a sentence pattern to show what one believes to be true, turns out to be false. Am I correct? Any help is appreciated.

I can already speak Mandarin Chinese, although it's not perfect. I'm mainly concerned with learning how to write the Chinese characters. Any book I can buy from Barnes and noble or something?

The HSK exam (Chinese TOEFL) is an exam that shows one's Chinese level. How long should you have been studying Chinese and how much Chinese should you know before you could take an Elementary-Intermediate level HSK Exam?
