If you’re into sports, you’ve seen it happen—tennis players jump over the net to shake hands after a hard match; football players exchange clothes after 90 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 sport 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 goal with a long victory dance or talk big about their ability. However, it’s always hard for people to say in public that they made a bad play. Good sportsmanship is what they really need. It’s the golden rule of sports.
Good sportsmanship means that you play by the rules, talk politely to everyone during games and stay cool even when you lose the game. 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.

Li Haoqin is a 14-year-old girl in Sichuan. She studies English very hard. Every day, she listens carefully in class and does many exercises after class. However, in the last exam, her score(分数) of 68 made her very sad. “Why didn’t I get a good grade though I worked hard?” Li said to herself.
Lots of middle school students are facing this problem—they try their best at something but can’t make it. “They don’t have effective(有效的) learning ways. This is the main reason for their difficulties,” says Bi Qin. Bi Qin is a well-known English teacher in Beijing No.4 High School, a key school in the capital city. She thinks that hard work is far from enough for middle school students. “Students have more subjects now. They should learn in many different ways so that they can get twice the result with half the hard work,” says Bi. “The more you use new words, the better you can remember them. For example, making sentences with new words is an effective way to learn.”
Chen Xiping, a 13-year-old boy from Shandong, has his own way of learning English. “I study hard in school, and I also like watching CCTV-9. On the channel(频道), I always see the English words I have learned from my textbook,” says Chen. “It’s really useful.”
Lin Pingyi, a 13-year-old girl from Shanghai, has a habit of reading. “I like reading English novels like The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway. While reading I take notes,” says Lin. “This way, I can remember more words and improve (提高) my reading and writing.”What made Li Haoqin very sad?

Dear Linda,
I have got your letter. I know that you want to have your own club, but you don’t know how to start one. Do you know what makes a club, such as an English Club or a Basketball Club, successful? Here is some advice.
◆Decide what kind of club to have, and come up with a nice name. Since you are interested in music, why not start a Music Club? A club is to bring people with common interests together.
◆Look for members. You can start with your friends, but it isn’t really a club until people you don’t know want to join.
◆Make rules. Get together with the members and agree on rules. Make sure that if someone breaks any rule(违反规定), he or she should be punished.
◆Have regular meetings. For the first time, you should make sure that all the members attend. Call the members to remind(提醒) them of it, and use the meeting to organize future meetings and other activities. I hope that these ideas may help you and that you can have your own club soon.
