Park Life

Do you like hanging out (闲逛) in the park with your friends? If so, why not take the chance to come with us and tidy up the park as you go? To add some fun, there is a gift for the person who collects the most rubbish. Meet us at the south entrance to Century Park at 9.00a.m. next Saturday if you want to join us.

The Air You Breathe

A great way to make the air we breathe cleaner is by planting lots of trees! It is a fact that trees slowly filter (过滤) a lot of pollutants(污染物) from the air. So come and help us plant some new ones in Xiangyang Park at 2.00 p.m. next Sunday.

War on Graffiti (涂鸦)

Some people think graffiti is cool. Well, it is not! The best way to stop buildings from becoming totally covered in ugly graffiti is to get rid of it as soon as possible. And that is exactly what we are going to do. We are repainting the school walls from 1.00 p.m. on Saturday. You do not have to bring any tools, just remember to wear some old clothes!

East Dublin is a small town in the United States. Yet it is very famous for the Summer Redneck Games,a funny sports meeting,which is aimed to raise money for charity(慈善).

In 1996,the 26 Olympic Games took place in Atlanta. This Olympic Games was very successful but just like other Olympic Games,some athletes made some funny mistakes. After the game,Mark Davis who was a reporter came up with an idea to hold a special charity activity. To attract people,all the games are modeled on the funny mistakes of the athletes in the Atlanta Olympic Games. Because of the attention from newspapers and TV stations,it soon became a yearly game.

The Summer Redneck Games has two funniest games. One is throwing toilet seats. All the competitors throw toilet seats modeling the way cowboys threw horseshoes. The one who throws the farthest wins. The other is picking pig feet from a basin(脸盆 )of water with mouth. The one who picks the most within 30 seconds wins. There are many other funny games such as wet T-shirt competition and big-hair competition. All of them are popular.

According to the Summer Redneck Games’ website,the organizers expected only about 500 people in the first year,but got 10 times of people instead. Over the past ten years,almost 100,000 people have attended the sports meeting. As a result,East Dublin has become one of the most famous towns in America.
