Memo
To:All Staff
From:Jakie Mok,Secretary;Sports Development Committee
Date:May 20,
A week ago,“Sports for Life”programme was sent to the parents,requiring them to select a sport they wanted their child to play.Since then,our staff have received lots of calls from parents asking for more information about it.Here is a memo(备忘录)for your reference when you answer the phones.
Sports 1:Basketball
We expect that this will be the most popular of the four sports.Therefore,students should be advised to sign up as soon as possible.Students will take a private bus to and from Kwun Tong Sports Park.To cover the cost of hiring a bus,each student will have to pay $10 each time.There will be four basketball courts available for our use with one teacher watching over each game.
Sports 2:Gym
We will be using St.Peter's Memorial Park.There are two reasons for choosing this park.First,it is not very busy and crowded before 6:00 pm.Second,it has lots of trees with plenty of shade.Students must bring along two bottles of water to prevent thirst.Three activities,skipping,jogging,outdoor aerobics(有氧运动),all of which are free of charge,will be arranged.And there will be a teacher on duty for each of the activities.
Sports 3:Hiking
Hiking(远足)will take place at Kowloon Peak.The activity will start at 2:30 pm and finish 90 minutes later.Three teachers will accompany the students,and a hiking instructor will accompany each group of 15 hikers.Each instructor will cost $75/hr.Students are advised to bring plenty of water and sunscreen.
Sports 4:Swimming
The Kowloon City Aquatic Centre is a 10minute walk from our school.Four teachers will go to the pool and conduct the goingson from the poolside.We will only be able to reserve the pool for one hour(i.e.2:45 pm to 3:45 pm).Only students skilful at swimming can take up this activity.The pool will have two lifeguards present.Girls must wear a swimming suit.The cost is $10 per visit.

When Christopher Columbus landed on the then unnamed Costa Rica in 1502, he saw many Indians wearing gold earrings. So he thought the land must be rich in gold. He named the place Costa Rica, which means “rich coast” in Spanish.
Though little gold was found, Costa Rica today is indeed rich with coffee and bananas. Coffee is the most important product in Costa Rica and most of it is exported (出口) to other countries like America and Germany. Bananas are the country’s second most important export.
Costa Ricans also grow many other crops such as fruits, corn and beans for their own use. Costa Ricans love colors and their houses are painted in bright colors.
Education is very important to the Costa Ricans. Almost every village has a school and education is a must for children between seven and fourteen years of age. Boys and girls go to separate (单独的) schools. Classes begin in March and end in November. The other three months of the year are harvest time and the children have to help their parents to pick coffee beans.
