This Thursday,across the US,kids are skipping school and going to work with their parents. They’ll be making copies,sending faxes and sweeping floors. This is because April 28 is Take Our Sons and Daughters to Work Day all over the US. This holiday shows kids what it means to be a grovun-up in the working world.

      I still remember when this day started? I was very happy. Not only did I have the chance to miss school, but I also got to sit in my dad’s taxi all day long and we would go to a restaurant for lunch.

      But after only 20 minutes of driving around the city,I was very bored. I couldn,t read my book in the car as I would get carsick and my dad didn^ like to turn on the radio. I got hot and uncomfortable. People wouldnt’  get into his taxi because they thought he already had had a passenger: me so nothing happened. It seemed years before we went out for lunch. I actually started to miss school.

      While the point of the day is to give kids a chance to experience real-life jobs and give them an idea of the possibilities for their futures,I got something completely different from the day. I learned to appreciate school. Where else do you get to play with your friends,do science experiments read great books and write stories all in one day?

      Just as youll have to learn to love your job later in life,learn to love school now. If you don't already,try spending the day working with your dad.

      When we watch the sports match,we often see it happen—tennis players jump over the net to shake hands after a hard match;football players exchange jerseysafter ninety minutes of knocking each other around;even boxers touch gloves at the beginning of each round. Players in every event,from spelling bees to golf,act in this way. It’s all part of sportsmanship ,a great tradition in sports and competition. It means playing and being calm all through the match.

     Everyone feels great when they win. In the last few years,you might see some players celebrate a goalwith a long victory dance or talk about their ability.

At the school sports meeting,for example,it's more important for you to know how to work as part of a team and cheer your teammates on. That may help you enjoy more success at your future work. In competition——as in life——you may not always win,but believe me , sportsmanship will help you get through,and there is always the next match.

Mark took a deep breath,pushed the T-bar up almost as far as his arms could reach,and began the first pull-up. High above,Peter let out a cheer ,“You’re on your way. ”

     For the first four days the two men progressed upward without accident. But on the fifth day,a very strong wind began to blow,making it hard for Mark to hold on to his rope. But Mark kept on pushing up the T-bar and pulling himself up.
