　　Every school has at least(至少) a playground. A playground is a large, open space. There may be a football ground, a basketball field or some tennis courts (网球场) if it is big enough.

　　Why a school should have a playground? The reason is that there is a place for girls or boys to play games or have sports. After sitting for a long time in the classroom, the girls and boys will be glad to run, jump and shout on the playground. So during playtime we can see many girls and boys are playing happily. Some hop or jump. Some run around or walk round talking. They are so happy that they feel sorry when the bell rings again.

　　After school, the playground is the most exciting sight(情景) to see. The place is full of life. Boys and girls are playing football, basketball or tennis. When there is a match between classes and schools, the place will be full of excited students.

The Xin’an Street Community(社区)began three programs not long ago.
The Neighborhood Clean-up Program
Every Sunday at 5:00pm, the neighbors begin cleaning Xin’an Street from one end to the other. The head of the Community, Zhao Fuqin, said, “The first Sunday, only eleven people came, but we picked up over seven big bags of rubbish (垃圾)from the sidewalk and street. The next weekend, twenty people came, and filled eight rubbish bags. Now the neighborhood really looks great!”
The Neighborhood Watch Program
The neighbors on Xin’an Street began this program to look for problems in the neighborhood and to call the police if necessary. The neighbors all say the watch has already helped.
SunYan, aged 60, a retired teacher, said, “In the past, I felt afraid at night. Now I know my neighbors are watching for trouble. ” According to the police, there are fewer problems on Xin’an Street. “Calls to 110 went down last month. Criminals knew that the people on Xin’an Street were watching, so they stayed away,” said a policeman.
The Neighborhood Fitness Program
A Health Club was built last month, where the neighbors can do different kinds of sports like basketball, ping-pong ball, tennis, etc. “Every morning you can see groups of neighbors running, dancing and playing Taijiquan. We have come to realize the importance of taking exercise,” said Chen Jinliang, a businessman of 45.
The community has more plans. “We plan to start the Kids Care Program for children. We are going to build an after-school club. And we want to have a picnic for everyone in the neighborhood!” said Zhao Fuqin.
