Couple of questions.
Hello.
I have some troubles with the following sentences:
1) You get to see the impact of your research. Why not you have got to? When do we use get to do smth.?
2) My friend has been helping me today. Does that indicate that my friend's still helping me? Or he's finished helping me about 5 minutes ago and I can say that he's been helping me today?
3) Doing it on one's first turn on the table is to doing it any other time in the game is as getting a royal flush is to getting a straight flush in poker. Why not just is doing it any other time?
Thank you all very much in advance!

Oh, thanks a lot, Mister Micawber. What about my second question, I accidentally came across a thread on the internet, it said: My friend has been helping me today and I would like to thank her in Romanian. Could someone please translate this sentence into Romanian. "Thank you for today you were wonderful". I guess that he said "my friend's been helping me today" after his friend finished

I guess that he said "my friend's been helping me today" after his friend finished helping him. -- Not necessarily. You would have to ask the poster if the friend had finished helping at that point.
