NFL 球隊正開始進入訓練營。球員們正在練習，為賽季做好準備。
Main Body
Players arrive at different times. In Tampa Bay, new players arrive on July 27. Old players arrive on July 28. In New York, new players arrive on July 25. The teams use this time to learn new plays and pick the best players.
球員到達的時間各不相同。在坦帕灣，新球員於 7 月 27 日到達，舊球員於 7 月 28 日到達。在紐約，新球員於 7 月 25 日到達。球隊利用這段時間學習新戰術並篩選出最優秀的球員。
Some teams practice together. This is called a joint practice. The Jacksonville Jaguars have three of these. Coach Liam Coen says these practices are safe. They are like real games, but players do not get hurt as much.
有些球隊會共同練習，這被稱為聯合練習。傑克遜維爾美洲虎隊有三次這樣的練習。總教練 Liam Coen 表示這些練習很安全。它們雖然像真實比賽，但球員受傷的情況較少。
Other teams also practice together. The Washington Commanders have two sessions. They practice with Miami and Baltimore. Twelve teams have two joint practices. Four teams have no joint practices. Sometimes players fight, so teams stop the practice.
其他球隊也會共同練習。華盛頓指揮官隊有兩次練習，他們與邁阿密和巴爾的摩隊共同練習。有 12 支球隊有兩次聯合練習，而 4 支球隊則沒有聯合練習。有時球員會發生衝突，因此球隊會停止練習。
Conclusion
Teams are working hard now. They want to pick their final players before the games start on August 6.
球隊目前正努力練習。他們希望在 8 月 6 日比賽開始前，選定最終的球員名單。
Vocabulary Learning
📅 Talking About Dates
In the text, we see how to say when something happens.
The Rule: When we write a date, we use on before the day/month.
- New players arrive on July 27.
- Games start on August 6.
Common A2 Mistakes: ❌ I arrive July 27. (Missing the connector) ❌ I arrive in July 27. (Use 'in' for months only, 'on' for specific dates)
Quick Guide:
- Month only In (In July)
- Specific Date On (On July 27)
👥 'Some' vs 'Other'
Notice how the text organizes groups:
- Some teams practice together. (A few/a part of the group)
- Other teams also practice together. (The remaining/different group)
Use this pattern to describe two different groups of people or things in your daily life.
