     In many western schools, sports day is a big event. Children take part in competitive (競爭性的)
sports, trying to break school records and take the first place.
     Sports days, or sports meets, 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 (跳繩) and the three-legged race. In middle
and high schools, sports days include many of the common track and field events (田徑項目).  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!
     Although sports days are exciting, they also have some problems. According to some reports in the
USA, sports days have become too competitive to be good for students. Some parents put too much
pressure(壓力) on the children. Some schools don't have "mothers and fathers" races any more as there
is much fighting and cheating.
