      When we watch the sports match,we often see it happen—tennis players jump over the net to shake hands after a hard match;football players exchange jerseysafter ninety minutes of knocking each other around;even boxers touch gloves at the beginning of each round. Players in every event,from spelling bees to golf,act in this way. It’s all part of sportsmanship ,a great tradition in sports and competition. It means playing and being calm all through the match.

     Everyone feels great when they win. In the last few years,you might see some players celebrate a goalwith a long victory dance or talk about their ability. However,it’s always hard for people to say in public that they made a bad play. Good sportsmanship is what they really need. It's the golden rule of sports.

     Good sportsmanship means that you play by the rules,talk politely to everyone during games and stay cool even when you lose the game. At the school sports meeting,for example,it's more important for you to know how to work as part of a team and cheer your teammates on. That may help you enjoy more success at your future work. In competition——as in life——you may not always win,but believe me , sportsmanship will help you get through,and there is always the next match.

     Have you heard about “Swram/ Holidays”？ “Survival Holidays” is for children to go into the lonely place for exciting activities.

     The reason why people like Survival Holidaysis that they think being close to nature is good for children. Many children in big cities spend all time watching TV and playing computer games. "Survival Holidays” gives them an important change.

     Is “Survival Holidays” a wonderful idea? Maybe it is. Children need more free time to play. Parents care too much about their children. They like to see the children being busy with activities that are controlled by adults,but children don't know what to do when they are in danger. Even something like crossing a small river seems to be a hard challenge. Children are not comfortable with danger. Even a small danger like getting their feet wet or falling down seems very terrible to them.

      Many people think the survival activities are good for children. Even years later,they will still remember what they have learned. Some have learned to stay calm in difficul times. Some have learned how to keep safe. Others have learned how to work in a team. All these skills will help them a lot in their lives.

     This Thursday,across the US,kids are skipping school and going to work with their parents. They’ll be making copies,sending faxes and sweeping floors. This is because April 28 is Take Our Sons and Daughters to Work Day all over the US. This holiday shows kids what it means to be a grovun-up in the working world.

      I still remember when this day started? I was very happy. Not only did I have the chance to miss school, but I also got to sit in my dad’s taxi all day long and we would go to a restaurant for lunch.

      But after only 20 minutes of driving around the city,I was very bored. I couldn^,t read my book in the car as I would get carsick and my dad didn^ like to turn on the radio. I got hot and uncomfortable. People wouldnt’  get into his taxi because they thought he already had had a passenger： me so nothing happened. It seemed years before we went out for lunch. I actually started to miss school.

      While the point of the day is to give kids a chance to experience real-life jobs and give them an idea of the possibilities for their futures,I got something completely different from the day. I learned to appreciate school. Where else do you get to play with your friends,do science experiments read great books and write stories all in one day?

      Just as youll have to learn to love your job later in life,learn to love school now. If you don't already,try spending the day working with your dad.

Hello Sandy,

      We have just returned from our holiday. We went with our friends,Edward Smith and his wife Tina,to the Yorkshire Moors. It is a beautiful natural park. There are lots of places to walk on the tops of the hills,miles of grassland with no people,just sheep and birds.

      Edward had just come out of hospital and he could not walk as far as before. However,this meant that we walked in the morning,and then stopped at a restaurant for lunch each day before returning to the place we lived in. Edward and I slept in front of the fire all the afternoon,while the ladies went for another walk. Very pleasant!

      I took lots of photos from the place we lived in,across the valley below us,of the morning sunrise, and the mist in the valley. Also,in England,the old steamr-powered trains are very popular. I took many photos of the train.

Today we have bright sunshine!Both Jenny and I are well. I don't know if I told you,in the last e-mail,that Jenny is now working in a hotel. Although she has to work hard,people there are nice,and she is enjoying the work.

      Please write to us to tell us your news.
