Hi,
1.Hot to say: i'm waiting to pay/~~I'm awaiting to pay or I'm waiting for paying?~~
I'm waiting to pay (I'll pay tomorrow).
2. Gold : refers to the material. is it used for the colour too? <<<< Yes i've always used golden
3. can I say: pay by cash?or is it completely wrong? It's OK
4. introducing anybody: this is Mary..but for two people, I found This is mary and tom (in abook). Why isn't it plural: these are m. and t. The singular suggests that the speaker is thinking of 'Mary and Tom' as a couple. To stress that is not the case, one might say 'This is Mary and this is Tom'.
5. Hot to say: listen to the music on the radio ~~or listen to the music to the radio~~
6. the Usa are ..or the usa is? Neither. the USA
7.describing people in a shop (a picture)and referring to someone far: i can see someone at the end of the shop(like, at the end of the corridor) or at the bottom of the shop...or..what?? 'at the end' is OK. I'd probably say 'at the back'.

( A lot of questions, but you forgot to say 'please'. )

Best wishes, Clive
