Last Saturday, I went to the school playground to watch the final of the 4×100-metre relay at our annual sports tournament (锦标赛). It was an extraordinary experience and something I will never forget.

extra-: beyond, very or more than normal
Before the race, everyone was quiet and still. I had never imagined that the atmosphere at a sports event could be so intense.
intense adj. very serious, using a lot of effort

When the runners set off, everyone went wild! We all stood up and started cheering and shouting. It was like being hit by a huge wave of excitement.

2) start working so that, for example, the alarm rings or the bomb explodes引爆(炸弹); 触发，拉响(警报等)
I could see the runners straining to run as fast as they could, while trying not to drop their batons at the change. The race was all over in just one minute. It was Li Chong, the fastest student in our school, who first crossed the finish line.

I once ran the first leg of 4×100-meter relay at our annual sports tournament. It was exciting and unforgettable. Standing on the starting line, waiting for the starting gun, I could almost hear my own heart beating. Then the gun sounded, and I almost had blocked out everything
else. To this day, I don’t remember
how I finished my leg of the race.
Only when I passed the baton to the second runner did I hear the wild cheering and shouting. The whole race was over in just an instant. The crowd rose to their feet and their cheering became even louder. Our team had won the race, and the four of us hugged each other tight for quite a while. I felt really happy.
Make improvements to each other’s passages and share them with the class.
