Introduction

Many NFL teams started practice for new players. These players are learning how the teams work.

Main Body

The Chicago Bears helped new players learn the rules. Coach Ben Johnson said all players must work hard to get a spot on the team. The Jacksonville Jaguars want to be fast and strong. Coach Liam Coen likes his new player, Nate Boerkircher, because he helps the team play in different ways. In Pittsburgh, the Steelers help quarterback Drew Allar. He is strong, but he needs to move his feet better. Aaron Rodgers is also in the city, but he does not have a contract yet. The New England Patriots, Denver Broncos, and Buffalo Bills also had practice. Some players played well, but one player left because of an injury.

Conclusion

The first practices are finished. Now the teams will start more training and workouts.

⚡ The 'Action' Pattern

In this text, we see how to describe what people do and what they need using very simple words. To reach A2, you only need these basic building blocks:

1. The 'Doing' Words (Present Tense) Look at how the text describes the teams:

  • Teams →\rightarrow started (Past)
  • Players →\rightarrow are learning (Now)
  • Coach →\rightarrow likes (Feeling/Opinion)

2. The 'Requirement' Word: MUST When something is 100% necessary, use must. It is stronger than 'want'.

  • Example: "Players must work hard."
  • Your rule: Person →\rightarrow must →\rightarrow action.

3. The 'Gap' Word: NEED When something is missing or needs improvement, use need.

  • Example: "He needs to move his feet better."
  • Your rule: Person →\rightarrow needs →\rightarrow to do something.
