Football is the most popular game in Englandone has only to go to one of the important matches to see this .Rich or poor, young or old,one can see the mall there ,shouting for one side or the other .
To a stranger, one of the most surprising things about football in England is the great knowledge of the game which even the smallest boy seems to have. He can tell you
the names of the players in the most of the important teams, he has pictures of them and knows the results of large numbers of matches .He will tell you who he expects to win in such a match ,and his opinion is usually as good as that of men three or four times his age.
In England, it is believed that education is only a master of filling the boy’s mind with facts in the classroom; education also means the characters; and
one of the best ways of training character is by means of games ,where the boy and girl have to learn to work with others for his team ,instead of for himself alone.

Do you have bright ideas, ideas for inventions that change society or, at least ,make life easier for somebody ?Perhaps we all do sometimes ,but we
don’t often make the idea a reality .Recently, in Britain ,there was a competition called British Designers for Tomorrow .The competition encouraged young people to carry out their bright ideas .There were two groups in the contest .Group One was for school children under 16;.Group Two was for school children over 16 .And there were eleven prizewinners altogether.
Neil Hunt, one of the prizewinners, was called “Sunshine Superman.” It is important when people study the
weather to be able to record sunshine accurately .We need to know how many hours of sunshine we have and how strong it is .Most sunshine recorders only record direct sunlight .Neil’s is more accurate and this is very important for research into the way of using solar heat.
You can do much with animated ﹝栩栩如生的 ﹞ cartoon .Look at Simon West ’s idea for animated road signs . He uses pictures which appear to move as you go near to or farther from them .This isn’t a new idea .But it is new to use these pictures on road signs. “We found that people were more likely to see moving signs,” said Simon .So now you can really see rocks falling, trains moving, horses running or a car falling over the edge of cliff .Quite a waiting!
The ideas in the competition were so inventive that we are surprised that British industry doesn’t ask more school children for suggestions .Perhaps this will be the start of “ Pupil power ”!
