I agree. What is 'this sort of thing'. Its just a girl, certainly not scantily clothed, enjoying a spa and pondering. I can't fathom on what basis this could be deemed 'too much'.

Actually I'm getting a bit tired of complaints about lesson photos on here in general.

Sorry, I didn't see this earlier.

Of course, anyone is free to join in. It might be a little off-putting if someone were to join in while I was actually in the process of transcribing, as we might end up doing a double-take on part of the lesson. But I am finished for the day, and it will be at least another 21 hours before I get the chance to start again, so go for it.

Nciku had one example sentence with a measure word:

我的风筝与另外一只风筝纠缠在了一起。

(My kite became tangled with another kite.)

Yellowbridge had another one:

一只风筝悬挂在电话线上晃来晃去。

(A kite dangles from a telephone wire.)

So it looks like its 只, but I can't see the connection to other nouns that use 只.

So has the frequency of Media lessons been cut back even further?

I'll leave it for someone else to answer your question. But I thought I should correct your final sentence. 比如 is a preposition, not a noun or a verb. It means 'for example' and not just 'example'. The correct word for 'example' is 例子 (lìzi) and the verb that goes with that is 举. So:

你们可以给我举个例子吗?

No worries. Care to join in? The more transcribers the better.
