Introduction

Yahoo Sports now has a college fantasy football game. You can pick players from many big college teams.

Yahoo Sports 現在推出了大學美式足球幻想遊戲。您可以從許多大型大學球隊中挑選球員。

Main Body

The game is like the NFL game. You get points when players run or pass the ball. There is a new 'Team Offense' spot. You get points if the whole team plays well and wins.

這個遊戲與 NFL 的遊戲類似。當球員奔跑或傳球時,您會獲得分數。現在多了一個「球隊進攻」的位置。如果整個球隊表現出色並贏得比賽,您將獲得分數。

College players change teams often. Some students graduate and some move to new schools. Because of this, running backs are the safest players to pick. Wide receivers are more risky.

大學球員經常轉隊。有些學生畢業,有些則轉學到新學校。因此,選擇跑衛是最穩妥的。接球員則風險較高。

Some teams have great players. Texas A&M and the University of Texas have very good athletes. There are 68 teams in the game. You must change your plan often to win.

有些球隊擁有非常優秀的球員。德州 A&M 大學和德克薩斯大學擁有非常出色的運動員。遊戲中共有 68 支球隊。如果您想贏,必須經常調整計劃。

Conclusion

People start picking their teams on August 3. The games start on September 3.

人們將於 8 月 3 日開始挑選球隊。賽事將於 9 月 3 日開始。

💡 The "Comparison" Trick

To reach A2, you need to describe why one thing is better or different from another. This text shows us how to do that simply.

The Pattern: [A] is [Adjective] → [B] is [More Adjective]

Look at how the writer compares players:

  • Running backs are safe.
  • Wide receivers are more risky.

How to use this in real life:

  • Coffee is hot \rightarrow Tea is more hot (hotter).
  • The bus is slow \rightarrow The train is more fast (faster).

🕒 The "Date" Logic

Notice how the text gives a timeline using on:

  • on August 3
  • on September 3

Rule: Use ON for specific days and dates.

  • ❌ I see you in Monday.
  • ✅ I see you on Monday.
