The relationship in this lesson seems a little strained. Is that the rule rather than the exception, or just interesting "reality mp3"?

I was referring to your comment:

"Hey, leave the 'breakfast gruel' alone, I like my 玉米糊, and 黄豆粉."

I love Chinese food, but not for breakfast. There are some things not done well in China and breakfast is one of them. Vacuum cleaners evidently are not so good either. (see Tal).

Bill's right. For 10 - 20 Kuai, How can you afford not to have one? I have to vote pancakes though.

The pop out windows on all lessons seem to have disappeared when yesterdays changes were rolled out. Is this intentional? I too found it useful.
