@pvernezze,
This is my transcripting of the four examples. I think it's right.
违法 - 酒后驾车
违章 - 在风景名胜区建造私人别墅
违规 - 上班时间不请假,擅自离开
违纪 - 当书记有了外遇.

@orbital,
谢谢!你写得很好!
只有一个小问题,应该是“党”书记,不是“当”哦~ :)

@lifejustisthis,
Hmmm.... we added a quiz to this lesson earlier today which seems to have broken the PDF. Have regenerated and reuploaded it -- should work perfectly now. Thanks for the catch.

(3:11) What is Echo saying here bao4ma3 ben1che1?
Thanks for clarifying!

@huyilin,
I didn't hear anything in this podcast like bao4 ma3 ben1 che1 at 3:11. But what you wrote in Pinyin is very similar to 宝马 and 奔驰 which are the Chinese words for BMW and Mercedes Benz.

@Xiao Hu,
Thanks! 宝马 and 奔驰 make absolute sense in the context they're discussing (expensive cars).
Apologies, I was looking at the wrong side of the dial; it is 3:11 from the end, not the beginning.
多謝!

huyilin & Xiao Hu,
Yes, they were 宝马 and 奔驰. Just a quick note: it's "bao3ma3" (third tone).
