The World Earth Day Activities The World Earth Day, which is on April 22 every year, is a festival specially set up for the world environmental protection. The World Earth Day was launched (发起) in 1970 by Gaylord Nelson and Dennis Hayes. Today, the World Earth Day celebration has developed to 192 countries around the world, with more than 1, 000 million people taking part in it every year, making it the largest folk environmental protection festival in the world. Our school plans many activities to celebrate the World Earth Day. The date of our activities is on Saturday, April 24. We hope every student volunteers to take part in the activities. You can choose one thing or more to do on that day. Here is the information: ◆Save water and electricity. ◆Plant trees in the gardens or parks. ◆Clean up the parks with your classmates. ◆Go on foot instead of taking cars, buses, or taxis. ◆Hand out notices about environmental protection. ◆Go through a day without TV programs, computers, or mobile phones. We also invite everyone in Zhongshan to join us. Our purpose is to call on people to protect the environment and live a green and low— carbon(低碳的) life. And we also hope that we can do something to protect the earth every day. |

I'm from the UK. At my school, sports can be very relaxing. You don't have to go to a 40-minute class each week. Instead, we get to pick when we want to play sports. Also, there is a great number of sports to choose from, so everyone can find something they enjoy. We can take lessons in swimming, rock climbing, dancing, soccer and badminton.We don't have exams for sports☺ . What are PE classes like in your country? posted on May 15th at 19:50 post a comment |
At my school, we have a few units (单元) about sports and exercise to learn about. During each unit, we practice key skills for the sport. For example, for basketball, we practice passing and shooting. At the end of each unit, we have a test. For tennis, we spend the whole unit passing the ball to each other. So for the test, we need to pass it at least 10 times without stopping to get a score of 100. Antonio, Mexico |
In my school, every afternoon from 3:30 to 5 pm is PE time. In PE classes, students usually just do practice, like running in the gym and more. However, people in the US love sports a lot. Sports team training is another kind of PE. Every school has its own sports teams, for example, American football, baseball, basketball, tennis and much more. All the teams compete in the city or the state. Every team has their schedule, but they usually train until 5 pm every day. Ann, the USA |
