The Games is held every four years. Many countries try their best to bid forhosting the Olympic Games. And every country does its best to get more medals in the Games. In 2000, the city of Sidney held the 27th Olympic Games. Over one hundred countries all over the world took part in it. We won 28gold medals that year. China, a major sport country, will hold the 29th Olympic Games in 2008. People from all walks of life are participating in various activities and making good preparations for it. There are five rings on the Olympic flag, which are considered to symbolize, the five continents: Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia and America. The Olympic motto is: Swifter, higher, stronger. The Games can promote the understanding and friendship among different peoples and different nations.
二．如何做一名文明观众 How to be a polite spectator of the Olympic Games The 2008 Olympic Games are drawing near, so it is important for us to know how to be a good spectator. First, before your arrival, you should read the rules for spectators on the back of the ticket. Besides, don’t get to the seat later than half an hour before the game. During the game, don’t leave your seat and be careful not to say improper words about players’ and coaches’ behaviour. We should learn to control our feelings.
We can applaud when players first appear and after an excellent performance. However, we can’t applaud during a game. Of course, we can cheer during a basketball or football match but we must keep silent when enjoying gymnastics. After the game, we should leave the gym in order.
三．新北京，新奥运 New Beijing, Great Olympics The 2008 Olympic Game has been the most cheerful and anticipated event throughout Beijing ever since Beijing was rewarded the right to host the 2008 Summer Olympic Games, yet the focus should be shifted from making a promise to fulfilling the promise made. In my point of view, to bridge the gap between the promise and reality, Beijing still has a long way to go. To begin with, infrastructure construction should be the primary concern. Such infrastructures as communications and transportation system and facilities ought to draw our constant attention. First, traffic jam has been an age old headache in Beijing. The scene of long queues of vehicles worming their way inch by inch will surely cause great incontinence, and blemish the image of the city meanwhile. Next, to add enchantment to convenience, overall city planning is indispensable. Time permitting, a redesign of city layout and adjustment of architectural style would provide a better environment for fostering the characteristic, blending, oriental elegance with international grandeur, will tower aloft among surrounding architectures. To achieve such effect, Beijing shall solicit opinions from first rate architects and make an overall plan. Thirdly, quality of the population should be improved. To make an international metropolis, both “hardware” and “software” are important. However, Rome was not built in a day. To carry out the promise of “New Beijing, Great Olympics”, deeds speak louder than words. 四．“鸟巢”介绍 假如你是一名导游，请你根据所给的提示，向来北京观光的外国游客介绍2008年北京奥运会主体育场—“鸟巢”。 场馆名称 国家体育场（鸟巢） 建设地点 奥林匹克公园 建筑面积 258，000m2;长330m；宽220m；高69.2m 座席数 91，000 赛时功能 奥运会开幕式和闭幕布式；田径、足球 赛后功能 体育比赛和文化、娱乐活动中心 开工时间 2003年12月24日 完工时间 2007年底 评价 中国十大新建筑奇迹之一 注意：1. 不要逐条翻译； 2．字数：100左右。开头和结尾已为你写好，不计入总词数。 参考词汇：开幕式和闭幕式 Opening and Closing ceremonies 娱乐活动 entertainment 平方米 square metres Welcome to Beijing!

Dear Editor, The 29th Olympic Games will be held in Beijing in 2008. Recently our class have had a discussion about its effects on Beijing. Some students believe there are many good effects. They think the Olympics will encourage people in Beijing to learn English harder, help more people find jobs, prosper tourism and make Beijing more beautiful. Besides it will make China better known to the world. The others think the Olympics will also bring some trouble. For example, at that time, the traffic will be heavier and the environment will be destroyed. Furthermore, holding the Olympic Games will also cause more pollution and waste resources. As a saying goes, a coin has two sides. So I think the Olympics have both good and bad effects. And it is certain that our government will do something to avoid the bad. What is more, our competitors will do better in the 2008 Olympic Games. Yours truly, Li Hua
