Yeah, absolutely. I think it is a good idea to get lower-level listeners familiar with some vocabulary from what normally would be considered an advanced topic. That way students will be less overwhelmed by new vocabulary when they reach the higher-levels.
Conversely, some topics that are so-called beginner topics are never revisited again in the advanced levels. For example, inviting a guest to one's house. Just because we know how to say 请进，请坐，你想喝茶吗? doesn't mean we will feel comfortable entertaining guests.
Anyway... I think I made my point.

What I'm about to say is supposed to be a friendly suggestion and not a complaint, so please don't take it as whining. It seems to me, and correct me if I am wrong, that Western holidays are are usually dealt with at the newbie or elementary levels, and at highest the intermediate level. How about sometimes doing some holiday lessons at the upper-intermediate or advanced level? I think there would be loads to talk about, and I also think it would be useful.

这个问题我觉得不要考虑，如果我们遇到那个问题，到时再设法解决不迟。（我不瞒你说，在nciku.com我剪切这个句子然后复制在这里，哈哈）说实在，好多夫妻要孩子，所以我认为不要孩子的家庭不会影响社会，反而在中国，没有孩子的家庭有可能有益于社会，中国人老说“人太多”！

November 24, 2009 at 5:04 AM我有一个学生（她是个中国人），她三十岁左右，她跟老公不想生孩子，麻是他们的朋友常常敦催他们生孩子，说他们很自私，不正常，对社会没有好处。说实话，我一听她说的话，就感觉他们的朋友不礼貌而且没有道理。生孩子是个严重责任，不要生孩子只是因为想法不一样，孩子出生以后，妈妈和爸爸不真爱，那怎么办？如果是这样，那个孩子太可怜。
反正，我想知道，怎们说“none of your business”？我知道“这是我的隐私”是“this is my business”。
而且，我也想知道怎我也想知道怎么表示这样的句子：
“不要生孩子只是因为想法不一样”
(You shouldn't... just because...)

谢谢你的支持，我希望cpod听我们的建议。写汉字有关的课程有好处。

今天有点奇怪！上阅读课的时候，我们看了一篇关于法国的尼斯的课文，老师带了有些尼斯的照片，除了非常漂亮的风景以外，谁都知道尼斯的裸体海滩特别有名，但是我们一点也没想到老师会给我们看看袒胸的姑娘，我的日本同学抓狂了，一直大喊“老师，老师！”
为什么今天CPod和我的中文老师有点色？；）
