The year of 2008 is getting closer and closer to us. We need to take
actions from now on to prepare for the game. What we need to do most is to work
on our disadvantages and shortcomings. As a student of Senior high, I can do my
own part. Although I can’t transform our city into more a beautiful place on my
own, I can help Beijing in small ways and encourage our classmates and people
around me to follow my lead.
Let me take the environment for example, the atmosphere around Beijing is
quite disappointing, factories and cars keep giving off exhausts into the air,
we can hardly see the blue sky with our naked eyes, because the sky is covered
with a thick layer of harmful substances. The sky is gray instead of blue. To
our delight, the government has passed some laws of protecting the air, and we
can do something useful, too. For example, whenever we go out for a long
distance, ride the bike or take the buses and subways instead of taxis. You may
not have a clue how it works. Of course doing that only by one person is far
from enough, but we can let more people do that together. In that case the
result may be more than we bargained for.
Another thing we need to work on is our English skills. Teachers and
parents often put great emphasis on our English skills especially listening and
speaking. I want to be a volunteer in 2008, to be an interpreter. For now, I
must do something helpful to improve my spoken English. Rome isn’t build in a
day, so is English. It can’t be improved in a day or two. It takes time and
energy. There are no shortcuts to improve your spoken English; the most
productive way is to grab all opportunities around you to open your mouth. For
instance, taking part in all kinds of English contests is a good way, you can
meet some excellent contestants, and you can share the experience of learning
and some good method of learning. I will keep participating in all English
activities to polish up my English. I’m sure by the year of 2008, I will be able
to master English well just as my mother tongue.
All in all, I’m sure that Beijing Olympic Games will be one of the most
successful Games in history. I believe our long-cherished dream will be
fulfilled in a perfect way!
