first, i would like to know, what does your destiny offer you? happiness, wisdom, a strong body or something else. if i had asked this question to president nixon, he would probably had said,”our destiny offers not the cup of despair, but the chalice of opportunity.”
needless to say, one of the *ggest opportunities given to china is the 2008 olympic *s. till now, we have used two s*nths of the preparation time. how much changes have you seen? new roads, new subway lines, public-exercising equipments with beautiful colors, large blocks of grass fields, and also lots of modern gyms which are under construction.
other than those, there are *n * good effects brought to us by the olympic *s that cannot be seen directly. for example, * and * people will get to know china. i’m sure the mysterious chinese culture will attract them strongly. and the *s will also do good to the economy and environment, for it is gaining the attention of foreign investors and the awareness of environmental protection is being strengthened. what is *, olympic *s give a unique opportunity to inspire and educate a new generation of chinese youth with the olympic values and the olympic spirit. now that we have seen so many advances, could you *n imagine us losing the holding rights?
i’ve already said a lot about the olympics and china. but i think *ryone should use some time to think of this question, ”does the olympic *s have any special meaning to you?”
for us, i mean the chinese youth, 2008 olympic *s is a tremendous gift. because what we are waiting for is to do something significant as repaying the love given to us .the society is just like a ship, and in our dreams the captain is waving his hand and saying ”hey! come here and take the helm! ”how charming his voice is, but we have n*r heard of it in our true life. this morning, how*r, when we wake up, we will see the olympic *s wwaving its hand. after chewing, most of us will have at least one plan about what to do for the olympic *s. and mine is to be a “comforter” ----that is someone who will give comfort to others.
at the end of my speech, i hope all the preparation will go well, and *ryone will show their a*lity to the world. let us seize opportunities and give a *g smile to challenges.
