Dear Ying,
thanks for your feedback.
I am sure lots of teachers using this book find the same problem, including
me. What I did was to retype the texts without Pinyin and then print them
out for students' reading---of course it is very time-consuming for the
teacher, let alone the cost. you can also tippex the pinyin and copy the
text to students, but of course it doesn't look very nice.
