Many people would like to watch sport matches. First, you need to know about audience manners.
●Most sporting arenas(竞技场) have rules for audience written on the back of the tickets. Read your ticket carefully before you arrive. Try to reach your seat half an hour before the start of the event and don’t leave when a game is in progress. When you leave, remember to take away your soft drink bottle and other rubbish.
●During exciting games, try to control yourself. Don’t criticize(批评)the performance of players and coaches. Be careful with your words, since some may cause anger among other people in the audience.

When players first appear, clap your hands together to welcome them, but don’t go on for too long. After an excellent performance, applaud warmly.
