争性的)sports，trying to break school records and take the first place.
Sports days，or sports meetings，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.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!
