《实用体育英语》许多章节的编写都参考国外原版书中的常用体育词汇和知识。各单元均尽可能由具有一定专业基础的老师执笔，以保证全书的质量。值得一提的是《实用体育英语》中有些内容是目前国内相关的英文书籍中所没有的。例如“社区体育”。为了编好该章的内容和给社区体育器械命名，我们请Caroline（美籍，原美国七项全能运动员，曾在中国教授英语）和编者一起到社区公园观摩晨练和拍摄相关的器械照片。然后合作编写器械的名称和在器械上所做动作的英语描述。书中还介绍了中西方文化常识。Kate（美籍，英语专业毕业，现为上海美国商会资深联络员）和熊翌老师为文化小贴士的编写付出了极大的努力，她们严谨的作风和求实的态度，给我们留下了深刻的印象。

en a Chinese student wants to show appreciation to a foreign teacherwho has been helpful， the Chinese student may wish to buy the foreigner anexpensive gift as a way of thanking him. However， upon receiving the gift，the teacher may appear surprised， thank the student， and politely decline theoffer.
Westerners generally only give gifts on certain occasions such asbirthdays， graduations， weddings or anniversaries， or on holidays such asChristmas or Hanukkah. In general， westerners do not use gifts to incur orrepay social obligations.
It is not generally necessary to reciprocate small personal favors bygiving gifts; usually saying "thank you" is sufficient. In situations wheresomeone does want to show gratitude by offering a gift， westerners are oftencomfortable with being taken out to eat， or with a small gift that has morepersonal significance than monetary value such as a thoughtfully expressedcard. Perishable gifts like food and drink are also considered to beappropriate gifts， particularly if the item is homemade.
Westerners tend to see a fairly clear line between "official". responsibilities andpersonal favors， and feel relatively little obligation to repay people who helpthem in the course of some type of official duty.
