Do you like sports? If your answer is yes, sometimes you'll find it very difficult to have enough time to do it, even on weekends. However, you don't have to worry about it because of Sunshine Sports Program. It was launched (启动) by the Ministry of Education (教育部). It suggests that students around the country should have an hour of sports every day. Students will be able to do any sport they like. The program is to make students happy and keep them healthy. Han Jiawen, from Shanghai Yangsi Middle School, likes the idea. Han and her classmates skip ropes (跳绳) together. "We have a good time," Han said, "Playing is better than having classes." Wang Lichao welcomes the idea, too. "It's good to be able to breathe some fresh air instead of sitting in the classroom." But the 14-year-old student from Tianjin wonders whether there will be enough space for everyone. "With so many students outside," he said. "I'm afraid there won't be enough standing room on the playground." Wu Jiatong's school is in Liaoning. Her favorite sport is running. Wu and other students like running for 40 minutes every morning. "It's tiring," Wu said. "But we do feel healthier. We hope we can do what we want." What about your school? There must be more sports that interest you and your classmates. |

I think a popular student should be kind and friendly. That's more important than any other thing.

And people who always smile are bright and sunny. Sarah, 16, New York |
