I really appreciated this lesson on global warming. The vocabularly is relevant and the dialogue interesting. Some further clarifications on grammar would help: 1. Page 2 ......(說教根本)"起不到作用'' Is this a set clause? Or can you use "起不到" in other situations? 2. Page 4 "這樣準能給地球降溫" Is the use of "給" similar to that of "使" as in to cause or make?

Under the new scheme, you've done away with the traditional characters in the pdf transcript. I would really like them back, as I live in Taiwan and that is most relevant for my reading and that's what was offered when I signed up. What is your plan in this regard?

Why did you get rid of the traditional character version of the dialogue? There are thousands of foreigners studying Chinese in Taiwan and Hong Kong. When I signed up for Chinesepod, there was traditional - it's really unfair to change it at this point.

What happened to the traditional character version? This is a huge omission? I'm learning Chinese in Taiwan, so traditional is a must! Please provide a traditional character supplement as was done in the past. Also, this new site is really hard to navigate and I'm unable to pull up old lessons. What is going on?
