Sports in England
Most schools in England have a sports day once a year in late spring or summer. On that day schools have no lessons. The competitors change into their sports clothes. The running track is circular ('track' is a prepared path for racing; 'track is circular' means that the path goes round or it has the shape of a circle), and inside there are places for the high jump, the long jump and throwing the discus. All these events take place at the same time as the running, so there is plenty to watch. There is a large blackboard on which the results are chalked up for all to see. In the middle of the programme there is a break for lunch and if it is a sunny day, the children sit on the glass eating their sandwiches. If it begins to rain they give up their programme and go back to school. At the end of the day the captain of the winning team is presented with a shield, the winners of different events are congratulated and the children leave the place. It is surprising they can get in one day in the open air and they all feel better for their sports day.
