2008, a vital and precious year to China, is coming soon, along with which the Olympic Games is in store. When it was learned in 2001 that Beijing, the capital of China, will hold the 2008 Olympic Games, people all over China were extremely excited and felt greatly proud of our nation! Our patriotism and pride of our nation were fully stimulated at that claim! We had achieved our long-anticipated dream!
Now time flies and seven years have almost fled by soundlessly since the declare of the host city to the Olympic Games. We are going to open our arms to the would-be memorable year, 2008. Though time is left little, we still cannot wait to see the dawn of it! 2008 is surely a fresh year, offering us a chance to present our hospitality to our international friends; 2008 is doubtless a brand new year, providing an opportunity for us to show our blooming economic circumstances; 2008 is decidedly an inspiring year, proffering us a platform to display our own distinctive culture and characteristic civilization!
In 2008, numerous athletes from all over the world will get together in Beijing, exerting their own talents and extremes to fulfill their long-expected dreams. It is the same with Chinese athletes. In the past competitions, China performed exceptionally, coming out top among all nations. Chinese athletes harbored a strong sense of honor towards our country and moved heaven and earth in realizing their targets, bringing tremendous glory to the Chinese people. When knowing China acquired one more medal, no matter gold, silver or bronze one, people sitting in front of the television would be overjoyed to jump! When knowing Liu Xiang won a gold medal and broke the world record in 100-meter hurdles, we held the firm belief that we could also create miracles! When hearing the national anthem and seeing our flag rising steadily, people all over china were totally immersed in great pleasure and forgot where they were! With the rising of our flag, we knew clearly that our international status was elevated as well! Our superexcellent athletes represented the Chinese people to show to the whole world our iron will and great perseverance! So I fully believe, in the coming Olympic Games for 2008, we can perform much better than ever and create another miracle!
In 2008, besides our athletes’ great performance, we ordinary people can also reach our own sense of achievement! Innumerable international friends will cluster in Beijing, enjoying the highlight of the games! It is the very time we showed our great manners to our friends from distance and let them experience our exceptional culture and customs, as well as appreciating our enthusiasm! It will largely contribute to our rising image in the world. Furthermore, along with the coming of our guests, our economy will be greatly promoted and the rate of unemployment will decline by a large margin! Hence we can really benefit a lot from the Olympic Games!
On balance, 2008, decorated with the Olympic Games, is really an enticing year! We are all looking forward to its coming! “One world, one dream” is bound to be realized then! |
