Organising a Sports Day Event
The school council is trying to organise a sports day event. They are discussing the different activities which will take place on the day…
Principal: Good afternoon everyone! Today, we’re going to finalise the plans for sports day. Let’s start by discussing the activities, times, and seating arrangements for spectators.
Teacher: Well, I think we should have running, cycling, volleyball, football, dancing, and basketball in teams.
Principal: In my opinion, there are too many activities. I also think we’ll need to have all the activities in the sports field so that spectators will be in one place.
Teacher: OK, yes, I think you’re right. What about running, football and dancing in teams then?
Principal: Yes, that makes sense. We could have a football tournament in the morning at 10AM, running races after lunch at 1PM and finally, a dancing competition at 2PM. Then we’ll have the prize-giving at 3PM.
Teacher: That sounds great. So, now we have to choose the people who will be responsible for the activities…
Principal: Well, we’ve already chosen Brian for organising the seating. Kevin and Paul can take care of the running races and Sandra and Lora can supervise the dancing competition. I’ll give out the prizes.
Teacher: Fantastic! It’ll be a great day!
