pas du tout word order questionWhy, when I wrote "Elle n'est pas du tout stupide" was it marked wrong, when in the explanation, it is listed as one of two correct translations of "She's not at all stupid/She's not stupid at all"?

J'adore faire du shopping. Surely it is `faire les magasins` or `faire des courses`? Depending on the context.

Je voudrais v j'aimeraisWhat is the difference in usage between je voudrais and j'aimerais? I have heard elsewhere that j'aimerais is appropriate when asking for something that you might not get or are unlikely to get. Is that correct?

Distinction between 1. and 2. aboveI'm not quite grasping the distinction between 1. and 2. above. In the example 'Je trouve Martha intéressante' surely this is also an opinion  and as such could it also be stated as 'Je trouve que Martha est interessante?'
