Hi Luke and Phil, in level 24, the sentence "过马路的时候,要左右看一看"; can it be written as "过马路的时候,要看一看左右" instead? Thanks!

Yes that would be fine. Of course, in the first sentence 左右 is serving as an adverb describing the way that you are looking and in the second sentence 左右 is a noun referring to what you are looking at, but ultimately the meaning is the same.
