About Olympic Games

2008-03-19 19:06:45 / 个人分类:learning experience

     Recently,  my  advanced  English  teacher  gave  a  new  definition  to  the  word  "God".   G-O-D:   Green,   Ocean,   Design.   This  new  idea  inspired  me  of  thinking  of  it  in  context  with  the  Olympic  Games.   We  al  know  that  China  is  doing  its  utmost  to  hold  a  "green  Olympics,"   a  "hi-tech  Olympics" and "the  people's  Olympics"  in  2008.   One  of  the  key  words  "green"  has  attracted  so  much  attention that  we  Chinese  citizens  should  take  the  opportunity  to  contribute  to  the  Olympic  spirit.  The  Olympics  is  a  grand  gathering  of  people  that  will  carry  forward  the  tradition  of  excellence,  promote  world  peace  and  enchance  friendship  among  the  nations  of  the  world.

      As  a  university  student,   I  ask  myself,   "What  can  I  do?   How  can  I   contribute?"   I  remember  the  sentences  describing  the  "Green  Olympics". "Green-colored  sunshine  through  soft  leaves,   all  the  green  days  in  the  growth  rings  telling  legend  to  the  future  and  the  past.  These  green  hopes  in  the  Olympic  rings  are  just  like  warm  hugs  and  brilliant  haloes  under  the  blue  sky  of  Beijing."   What  a  beautiful  picture!   But  still  I  am  faced  with  the  question  of  how  to  make  the  idea  of  "a  green  world"  come  true.

      In  my  humble  opinion,   it  is  necessary  to  raise  public  awareness  of  the  importance  of  the  Olympics.   Only  people  who  realize  that  it  will  take  a  united  world  to  achieve  such  great  ideas  will  make  a  difference.   There  is  little  we  cannot  do  in  operation.   Divided,  there  is  little  we  can  do  for  such  a  great  challenge  will  seem  too  large  for  us  to  take  on  individually.  In  addition,  actions  speak  louder  than  words.   Why  talk  about  the  "green  world"   if  we  aren't  willing  to  bend  down  and  pick  up  the  plastic  bottle  near  our  feet?   Although  some  of  us  cannot  be  volunteers  at  the  Olympics,   we  can  all  bear  this  vision  in  mind  and  make  contributions  in  some  other  way.

      At  last,   I  conclude  by  imitating  a  few  sentences  from  President  John F. Kennedy's  inangrual  address:   My  friend,  please  ask  not  what  the  Olympic  can  do  for  you;   ask  what  you  can  do  for  it.

You said this article was going to be on newspaper....

so maybe the other one is better because it sounds more formal.....

However, it depends on what kind of newspaper it is...if it is just newspaper for community or university, this one will do...

If it is your National Chinese Newspaper, definitely the other one....

Just dones't sound right....somehow....

Maybe just your last sentence "My  friend,  please  ask  not  what  the  Olympic  can  do  for  you;   ask  what  you  can  do  for  it." will do.....

Why  talk  about  the  "green  world"   if  we  aren't  willing  to  bend  down  and  pick  up  the  plastic  bottle  near  our  feet?
