What's an "expansion sentence"?

I know maybe it's a dumb question, but I'm new here, and I feel that you should give a little definition in your introduction. I just have the Basic subscription, so maybe an expansion sentence is something you get with one of the higher levels.

Expansion sentences are example sentences for selected vocab. They're available with a premium subscription. It's a separate tab where you can see three example sentences for each of 6-7 of the vocabulary items for each lesson; each lesson has its own set of expansion sentences.

With levels newbie through upper intermediate, there's the Chinese sentence and an English translation. For Advanced, there's only Chinese. There's also an audio button so you can hear the sentence, and mousing over will also give you pinyin and definitions for each word.
