课堂教案:

Hello everyone and welcome to Xiaoming English.I’m your teacher Ming.
大家好,欢迎来到小明英语。我是你们的老师Ming。

So the first section of today’s class is called Hello Slang and the slang for today is “sketch”, which is also used as “sketchy”. Calling something sketch is saying that it was done very quickly, it’s not complete.So as a slang, it means something is not working, or doesn’t look very good.
今天课程的第一部分是“你好俚语”,今天的俚语是“Sketch”,或者也可以说“Sketchy”。说一件事是Sketch是指这件事做得非常仓促,没有完成。所以用作俚语时,它的意思是不工作,或者看起来很不行。

Let’s try using them in a sentence.For example, if I’m on the computer.If that website doesn’t feel quite right, you can say whoa, that website looks sketch.
让我们试试在一个句子中用一下这个俚语。举个例子,如果我在用电脑。这个网站感觉不太对,你可以说,哇,这网站看起来真不靠谱。

I don’t want to give any of my personal information.
我可不想写我的个人信息。

Today we are going to talk about William Randolph Hearst.

Mr. Hearst built what was once the nation's largest newspaper business.He bought newspapers in different parts of the United States.

And he spent millions of dollars to gain readers in sometimes very shocking ways.And in the end, he was a very successful businessman and changed American newspapers forever.

He was very rich, but he was also a little rebellious.He was expelled from Harvard university for playing a joke on the professor.

When he was 23 years old, he gained control of a San Francisco newspaper.And it was from his father.

He hired the best reporters and bought the best equipment.Because he believed in doing anything he could to get more readers.

Interesting fact William Hearst created a kind of newspaper that is called yellow journalism.Yellow journalism is when you exaggerate a story.
有意思的一条信息,威廉赫斯特创造了一种叫做“黄色新闻”的独特新闻方式。“黄色新闻”是当你夸张的去描述一个故事。

From using this kind of journalism, he is accused by some to be responsible for the Spanish-American War that took place in 1898.
因为用这种方式做新闻,有些人认为他促成了美西战争(发生在1898年)。

There was an American ship that sank and before Hearst knew for what had happened.His newspaper reported that it was the Spanish who sank the ship.
有一艘美国的船沉了在赫斯特确认事情的缘由之前。他的报纸报道了,是西班牙人击毁了这艘船。

This report incited the American people’s anger towards the Spanish and spurred on the start of the war.His influence to the media industry still affects us today.
这个报道激起了美国人对西班牙人的愤怒,也促成了战争的开始。他对传媒业的影响延续到今天。
