The school sports day is coming, and my classmates are getting more excited than ever before. This year, our class decided to prepare more carefully than last time because we want to win more medals than Class 3.
Among all the events, the 100-meter race is the most challenging one. My friend Lily runs faster than me, but I practice more regularly than her. Every morning, I get up earlier than usual and jog around the playground. “You’re becoming stronger!” our P. E. teacher said.
Not everyone is good at sports. Tom, who is quieter than other boys, joined the chess competition (比赛). He thinks chess requires more patience than running. “Solving problems is as important as physical exercise,” he explained. His words made me realize that being less athletic doesn’t mean you can’t shine in other areas.
Our class also planned a tug-of-war (拔河) team. Jack, the tallest boy in class, shouted: “We need someone heavier than me to hold the rope!” Finally, we chose Sam, who weighs 10kg more than Jack. During practice, we pulled the rope hard, and our teamwork grew better day by day.
When discussing costumes (服装), Lucy suggested wearing red T-shirts. “Red looks brighter than blue under the sun,” she said. We all agreed because red also makes us feel more energetic.
Now, our class is more united than before. Whether we win or not, preparing together is as valuable as the competition itself.
