在国际体育比赛中拿了奖还真要注意，是究竟该感谢父母先还是先感谢国家先呢，在老外看来很普通的问题在我国却要引起一番争论。一位国家体育局的官员在政协上说“.感谢你的母亲这个很好，但你应该首先感谢你的国家。"且看下面的英语作文讨论：

‘It’s fine to thank your mother, but at first you should thank your country.’ An official in General Administration of Sport of China said in CPPCC

Winter Olympic Champion Zhou Yang said she could make a better life for her parents after her gaining the champion, which moved many people.

But the official said sportsmen should thank their county first. Indeed, the country pays much to cultivate sportsmen. But is it a must to orally thank the country first?

Zhou has thanked her country by being champion. It’s much better than a word.

Some comments, your mother country hug you when you are champion, but only your mother hug you if you are not.

【words from another people】

In China, there is hot debate about the system.  The country poured a lot of money to cultivate certain guys with good talent. What is important for the officials is to win more gold medals in international competition, rather than improving overall physicial condition of its people.

【words from another people】

Zhou Yang's motherland has over 1.3billion children, but his mother might only have one child. If Zhou didn't thank the motherland, others would do, but if Zhou didn't thank his mother, no one would do. His mother gave birth to him and brought him up but didn't ask him to express thanks, why does the country ask him to do so ?Just because of the cultivation? Isn't  that a payback to the country when he got the gold medal?
Love your mother and motherland from heart, not from mouth.
Actions speak louder than words.
