    <description><![CDATA[The concept of green eggs is not one so particularly far-fetched in China.  Could a 1,000 year old egg be any other color?  Sam-I-am has found his place in the sun.  In this podcast, green eggs and ham revisited with a Chinese bent--fried rice as their companion.  With a mouse, in a house, on the train... yeah, pretty much anywhere.  Expand your Mandarin palate with this lesson.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Fun lesson!

In the expansion sentence "这些书都是我的" (These books are all mine), does 这些 (zhèxiē) mean "these"?

Why is there no measure word for books...本 (běn) ?

Would it be wrong to say:

这本书都是我的。
zhè běn shū dōu shì wǒ de.

Or would that only mean "This book..." ?

        <description><![CDATA[I didn't get it until I googled "green eggs and ham".
Then I also found the recpies!
http://www.seussville.com/titles/greeneggs/recipes.html
I know that I will be able to follow a recipe when each paragraph begins with "With an adult's help..."

Nothing to do with the lesson, really, but I couldn't resist. :) From now on every time I see a green egg I'll remember this dialogue.

        <description><![CDATA[I think there's a typo on the Expansion section. One of the sentences starts with 她 (she) and it should be 我.
