Did you know that sport is a good way to show friendship and togetherness which is important to the Commonwealth?

These sentences were about how sport is a good way to show friendship. 

Guess what? Well the first Commonwealth Games were held in 1930 in Hamilton, Canada. The Commonwealth games that are on now is being held in Scotland and the next Commonwealth games will be held in Samoa. The Commonwealth Games are a sporting event between 71 countries around the world. It is kind of similar to the Olympics because some of the sports are the same as the Commonwealth Games. They have a Opening Ceremoney and a Closing Ceremoney. They also light torches.
