课堂教案：

Today we are going to start with some really fun slang, it’s stuff I use a lot.
今天我们从有趣的俚语开始，我自己也会经常用。

Today’s slang is a word I really like. It’s the word “up”.
今天的俚语是一个我很喜欢的词，“上”

When you use it with “for grabs”, it means something is available.
当你和“for grabs”一起用的时候，意思是某物是可得到的

Where did the slang come from? Well, the word“grab”means catch.
这个俚语从哪里来的呢？”grab”的意思是抓住

“Up for grabs” means that it’s available to grab. You can take it.
“Up for grabs”的意思是你可以抓住

For example: The designer at our company is retiring, so his position is up for grabs. You are certainly qualified, and you should definitely come in for an interview.
例如，“我们公司的设计师要退休了，所以他的职位是可获得的。你的资历很符合，最好过来面试一下。”

Those are the slangs for today. So let’s talk about something that will help you learn English.
这就是今天的俚语。现在让我们聊一聊可以帮你学英语的窍门。

We heard you are interested in hearing our opinions on different ways on learning English. So here is one of our tips of what not to do.
我们听说你对学英语的各种方法感兴趣。这里是我们给你的窍门，告诉你不要去做的一件事。

I know that many of you out there are trying to improve your English listening skills. And the way that some of you do it as I know, is by listening to English songs.
我知道很多人都在尝试去改进英语听力，一些人通过听英文歌曲的方式来尝试。

I love listening to music myself, but I don’t believe this is the best way to learn how to listen to English and understand it.
我也喜欢听音乐，但是我觉得这不是练英语听力的最佳方式。

You only learn and improve your listening skills when you register the sound of each word you hear and try to understand its meaning.
只有听到并且听懂每个词的时候，你才能在听力上进步。

And since English is your second language songs are probably not the best choice because the music changes the way the words are used and makes them more difficult to understand.
当英语是你的第二语言的时候，听英文歌曲可能不是最好的选择。因为音乐里的词的用法会让你更难理解。

Even worse, popular English songs might have confusing slangs in it and they certainly have incorrect grammar.
而且流行英语歌曲里会有令人困惑的，俚语和很多不正确的语法。

For example, if you are a fan of rap, Nicki Minaj’s song Super Bass.
如果你是说唱音乐的粉丝，那你可能听过妮琪•米娜的歌

Well, I have trouble understanding it.
我自己理解起来也有困难

Here’s an example, and try to imagine me using this language in every day conversation and think about if it would make any sense.
想像一下我在每天的对话里用这种语言，想想它是否合理。

I can’t imagine using those words, and definitely not in that order.
我想象不到自己用这些词，更不会按照这个顺序

So you can also imagine listening to songs in another language.
你也可以想象自己听另外一个语言的歌曲

You might like the music, you may know the words, but how often can you understand it?
你可能会喜欢它的音乐，也可能知道里面的词，但是你能懂多少呢？

And how often can you say that you are learning the language?
你又能多频繁的说自己在学习语言？

One of the best ways to practice listening skills is by talking to someone who is a native speaker or someone whose first language is English.
练听力最好的方式之一就是和英语为母语的人对话

If you can’t find someone around you to speak with then you can choose to watch a TV series or listen to a Podcast.
如果你找不到英语为母语的人那你也可以选择看一个电视剧或者听播客

So that’s our English tip for today, and now onto sentence structure.
这就是我们今天的英语敲门，现在来讲句型

Here’s our example, and see if you can understand it.
这里有个例子，看看你能不能懂

The beaver chews down trees to get food and material with which to build its home.
海狸把树啃倒，然后把木头当作食物和建房子的材料

A does B to get C with which to do D.
A做B去获得C，然后用C去做D

A is a noun, B is a verb, C is another noun, and D is another verb.
A是名词，B是动词，C是另外一个名词，D是另外一个动词

So to put our own words in the sentence we say Alex studies hard to get good grades with which to apply for university.
我们可以说Alex好好学习去获得好的成绩，然后用好成绩去申请大学。

Try to put some words and create a sentence of your own.
你也试试吧。

Remember, A does B to get C with which to do D.
记住，A做B去获得C，然后用C去做D

I hope you guys liked this class, and that you had fun. And I hope you learned something.
我希望你们喜欢这节课并且学到了一些东西
