Yunlan Fan: Final Reflections

Look back on our summur course, I like reading everything about Olympics. I learned a lot of Olympics things. I know what is a challenge. I have my favorite things about Olympics.
Olympic Game is the greatest sport event of the world. It has a great history. Every athlete wants to take part in the Olympic Games. People are looking forward to watch every Olympic Game. So I like to read everything about Olympics.
I learned a lot of Olympics things. I knew many famous athletes, they are the sport starts. I knew many host countries, host cities in the world, they are also famous by the Olympics. I knew many famous Olympics Events, they are famous too.
The most important thing of Olympics is "Challenge". It is a challenge of the athletes in the Olympic Games themselves. The challenge is not only about his body's limit, but also about his spirit. It is a challenge about athlete himself. If the athlete wins himself, he wins the Olympic Games.
My favorite is the greatest Olympics Moments. The greatest Olympics Moments are created by the greatest athletes. In order to do their best in the Olympic Games, they prepared very hard. They prepared every day, they payed all of their attetions on their sports. They strived on the Olympics. When they show their great achievements in the Olympic Games, they bring the great enjoyments to the people of all the worlds. At the same time, they show the great Olympics' spirit to the people: challenge to yourself, do the best of yourself, never give up, to be an honest person to yourself. It is an honor to win the Olympic Games. It is an honor to win yourself. They created the greatest Olympic Games history. People will remeber them. People will learn from them. People will learn the Olympics' spirit. People will learn how to challenge to themselves. People will learn how to challenge in their lives.
I like this summur's programm. I have learned a lots. I will search for the Olympics informations continously. I am looking forward every summur Olympics. I will remeber the importance of the Olympics' spirit. I believe I can do it practicely in my life.

In order to do the best in the Olympics, they prepared very hard, and they did very well in the Olympic Games. People enjoyed what they were doing. People learned the great Olympics' spirit from them.
I enjoyed reading the greatest Olympics Moments. I expect the next every greatest Olympics Moments.

The final

this summer project makes we lean a lot of new thinks about Olympics. many things that we never pay attention just watching sport for fun. now we have read many interesting Olympic stories.
for us we enjoy reading athlete biography. how they grow up, what are their skills, how many competition they have win and how do they practice. we know the olympic game background and we also wonder about why the olympics of 1916,1940,1944 cancelled.

Yunlan Fan: p.58

Olympic Games are exciting. But not all of them are fun. Some athletes in order to gain the metals, they did the not honest things. Such as they took the drug. If the Olympics officers did not find the secrets in the test, these athletes got the metals unhonestly. These things are not fun.
Olympic Games are world wide events. It's spirit is honest and do the best. If somenoe did the unhonest things, they were not fit to take part in this Games. People respect the honest athletes. Even they did not gain the metals,but they remained Olympics' spirit. People respect them.
I hope there will be no unhonest things happen in the Olympic Games again. I hope every athlete in the Olympic Games is real honest person. Then they can bring the real Olympic Games to the people in the world. People can learn the good things from them.

Not fun in the olympics game


If we talk about the olympics everybody might be think about sport,games,fun,medals or the big beautiful field. In the other hand the olympics are big,noisy,pushy and inconvenient for people who work in a hurry time. They got traffic jams and rubbish from visitor. In some country people got tax increase and lose their homes for olympics-related development. In addition when visitor came we can't take care all of them so that become a disruption. Example: The picture is of the crowd when the Olympic torch was in Shenzen, China.

Yunlan Fan:Comment of "London wins 2012 Olympics"

London won the rignt to host the 2012 Olympic games. It was not easy. London won Paris by 54 votes to 50. It was breathtakingly close: just four votes edged London past Paris in a secret electronic ballot of the International Olympic Committee.
In an IOC evaluation report before, London was ranked third in the race by the IOC Working Group, behind Paris and Madrid and its transport system was castigated as "obsolete". The London team improved its bid and assuaged concerns about transport and then got a much better write-up in a subsequent IOC evaluation report.
Before the final result, things can be transformed. If you want to change the current situation, you should work hard on it, then you can make improvement, and you can see things turn to better. This is something we can learn from London team.

it was so amezing that London won Paris for The summer olympics just 4 votes.
people who live in london must be pround and thank for Lord Coe that presented London to IOC members for the last voted.
