Also, in the 4th sentence yīngyǔ sounds like yōngyǔ, or is my hearing gone haywire?

Why is yán pronuounced yái in the 1st sentence of the Expansion section?

In reply to both bertson135 and Calkins, it seems a nice compromise in meaning in the 7th Expansion sentence would be "Do you want me to take this one away?"  Bertson is right that 'away' ought to be included, since the purpose of that part of the Expansion is to give practice using shōuzǒu?  But Calkins is also right in that the 'one' from zhège ought to be translated.  Also, it seems that qǐng should not be ignored from the 22nd exercise.
