in the expansion exercises, the following statement: 你选择见面地点 (You can choose the place to meet.)  Please could you explain the use of the character 来。 I would have chosen 可以 and even now (second time reading these expansion sentences, the 来 doesn't feel right.

  In the expansion exercises for 配, the use of 不上to mean "not suitable" is unfamiliar to me.  Is this correct - could cpod team please explain.

chinese pod team, please tell me where the exercises for the last lessons have gone!  It is my favourite part.

I am sorry to hear so much criticism lately.  Surely, if you find the lessons too easy, you listen to the higher level ones.  I have felt for some time that there is a huge leap from elementary to intermediate and that we have had need of an "upper elementary".  I am still a happy chinesepod customer and havn't found anything else as good.  thank you team!

In the second sentence in the expansion - why do you have 都 in the sentence 他都不给你打折?  I see you translate this as 'he didn't give you a discount at all' - so is the 都 the 'at all'?

Also, I would have put 都 after '你们‘ in the first phrase - is there a reason this was omitted?

  what is the difference between 出问题 and 有问题?  I would have always used the latter and am a bit stumped here as I cannot find it in any of my dictionaries.

In the first example of the expansion - the character 中 is used for "to win".  This doesn't appear in any of my dictionaries.  Is this a very recent use of the word?
