I love talking about new video games, so I often record myself playing them. Next, I begin editing. Editing a video can take a long time, but I think it is the most important part of the process. I always finish editing my videos before dinner. My goal is to make my videos more fun and interesting every time. I want to tell good stories so that more people will watch my channel. I hope to get 1,000 subscribers by the end of the year. It's a lot of work, but I enjoy creating things for my viewers.

背景： 这篇课文以日本城堡的防御策略为主题，与学生对历史和工程的兴趣相符。

核心语言重点： 被动语态。

课文：

Japanese castles were not only beautiful buildings but also powerful fortresses. They were built to protect a lord and his people from attacks. The main part of the castle, called the keep, was always placed on the highest ground. The entire castle was surrounded by thick walls and a deep moat. Sometimes, traps were placed at the main gate. The castle walls were often built with huge, carefully shaped stones that were not held together by mortar. This design was chosen so that the walls would be more resistant to earthquakes. The most important parts of the castle were always protected by the strongest defenses. Many secrets are hidden inside the walls, and these are still being discovered by historians today.

词汇亮点：

fortresses 要塞

keep 主楼

moat 护城河

mortar 砂浆

historians 历史学家

语法解析：

这篇课文是练习被动语态的绝佳范例，特别是在描述历史事件时，当执行动作的人并不重要或未知时，被动语态尤为有用。课文中的例子包括“Japanese castles were not only beautiful buildings but also powerful fortresses”和“The castle walls were often built with huge, carefully shaped stones”。在这些句子中，被动语态强调了动作本身（被建造、被放置），而不是执行动作的人。这为学生提供了一个在技术性或历史性写作中如何使用被动语态的清晰模型。

背景： 这篇课文改编自威廉·坎宽巴的真实故事，讲述了一个男孩如何利用废料场的东西建造风车，这与学生对科学、技术和个人成长的兴趣点完美契合。

核心语言重点： 过去进行时和一般过去时。

课文：

One day, a young boy named William was looking for a way to help his family. They were living in a small village, and it was a very difficult time because of a drought. People were struggling to find food and clean water. William was walking near his home when he found a science book in the local library. He was not able to understand most of the words because he did not know much English, but the book was full of pictures. As he was looking at the diagrams of a windmill, he had a big idea. He thought he could build a machine to generate electricity and bring up water. A lot of people were laughing at him, but he was confident. He went to a junkyard and found old bicycle parts and a tractor fan. He used these old things to build his machine. When he finished, his new windmill powered a single lightbulb. Soon, his invention was helping his entire village.

词汇亮点：

drought 干旱

struggling 挣扎

junkyard 废料场

windmill 风车

confident 自信的

语法解析：

本课文有效地结合了过去进行时和一般过去时来描述一个完整的故事。句子“They were living in a small village, and it was a very difficult time”使用了过去进行时来描绘一个持续的背景情境。而“He went to a junkyard and found old bicycle parts...”则使用了简单过去时来描述一系列连续的、已完成的动作 11。这种结合方式帮助学生理解如何用英语讲述一个连贯的过去发生的故事。

背景： 这是一篇信息性文章，以篮球明星球员的排名为主题，与学生对运动和排名的兴趣高度相关。

核心语言重点： 大量使用比较级和最高级形容词和副词。

课文：

Basketball is one of the most exciting sports in the world. In my favorite league, there is a fierce debate about who is the best player. Some people say Kenji is the best because he is the tallest player in the league. He is also much stronger than any of his teammates. Others argue that Kenji is good, but Hiroshi is better. Hiroshi is faster and more athletic. He can jump higher and run quicker than almost anyone else on the court. However, I believe that Kota is the most important player on our team. He is the most intelligent player, and he always makes the most creative passes. His shots are also more accurate than any other player's. While Kenji is the tallest and Hiroshi is the fastest, Kota is the best overall. His presence makes the whole team stronger. I think his talent is the most crucial factor for winning the championship.

词汇亮点：

league 联盟

debate 争论

fierce 激烈的

athletic 运动能力强的

accurate 精准的

语法解析： 本课文通过比较三位球员，提供了一个自然的语境来练习比较级和最高级。句子如“he is the tallest player”和“the most exciting sports”是最高级的完美范例。通过

than引导的比较句，例如“He is also much stronger than any of his teammates”和“run quicker than almost anyone else”，则突出了比较级的使用。这篇课文有效地将这些语法点融入了一个学生们感兴趣的主题，避免了枯燥的语法练习。

will来表达预测或当下的决定，完美地符合了课程中关于未来时态的教学要求。此外，
