In many western schools,sports day is a big event.Children take part in competitive(竞争性的) sports,trying to break school records and take the first place.
Sports days,or sports meets,are usually held in the warmer seasons,either at the beginning or the end of the school year.They are also called field days.
Primary school sports days are fun.They usually have activities such as the egg and the spoon race and the sack race.Other events include the skipping race(跳绳)
and the three-legged race.In middle and high schools,sports days include many of the common track and field events (田径项目).They are more serious and competitive than primary school ones.
Students’ parents and other relatives also come to the school on sports days.They watch children play.Many schools in the West have“ mothers and fathers” races for parents to take part in。
Although sports days are exciting,they also have some problems.According to some reports in the US,sports days have become too competitive to be good for students.Some parents put too much pressure(压力) on the children.Some schools don’t have“ mothers and fathers” races any more as there is much fighting and cheating.

Are Sports Important?
Sports are all around us.We watch and read sports news.There are also sports clubs,and even sports-only channels(频道) on TV.In many countries,players make millions of dollars every year.
But why are sports so important? They’re only games,right?
Our readers answer:
Vlad(Ukraine乌克兰)
Sports bring people together.In 2006,our team was able to play in the 2006 World Cup for the first time.Everyone was happy.Rich and poor,old and young,men and women—everyone was in the streets together。
Mike(USA)
Sports bring people together,but they divide them too.Fans of different teams fight all the time—they shout and hit each other.And here’s another example:My brother plays high school baseball.Last week,his team played an important game.At the game,two parents fought about a call.Come on... baseball is only a game。 Sports are so competitive(有竞争力的) these days.It’s all about winning.Then the game isn’t fun.
Oba(South Africa)
Right now,some of the world’s best soccer players are from African countries,and the 2010 World Cup games will be in South Africa.Yes,some players make a lot of money—maybe too much.But sporting events (like the World Cup) bring tourists and money to countries and people.And that is good for Africa.。
