Recently, I was invited to watch my students’ cross—country meet (越野赛). At first, I didn’t know if I should go because I was not a sports fan of any kind and my job had nothing to do with sports. Although many people might say they wouldn’t exactly consider the cross—country a sport, I would disagree. The cross—country beginners have to work out and exercise just like you do for any other sports.
I never knew how much fun I would have watching a group of my students run for fun. Whether they ran fast or slow, they still tried their best to complete the game. They kept going no matter how tired they were.
It was wonderful to see how encouraging the audience ( 观 众 ) was to runners everywhere. It wasn’ t just their runners that they would cheer for. It was all runners, fast or slow. When the kids heard the audience cheering them on, or even just clapping (鼓掌) to encourage them, they would run faster and faster in search of the finish line; it was just so cool to watch.
I am proud of each one of my students who ran yesterday. They did a wonderful job. I surely want to supports cross—country meet later. I’m not talking about coaching it or anything like that, but just to support them by going to their meets.
