The Olympic Games are held every four years. Any country may enter a team in the games if it agrees to follow the rules of the IOC(国际奥委会). Players from all over the world take part in all kinds of games in the modern Olympic Games which are held each time in a different city of the world.
The Opening of
the Olympic Games is greatly exciting. The king or president himself of the
country in which the games are held declares the opening of the games. Players
who receive gold medals are on the victory stand. At the same time their
country's flags are raised and the national songs are played.
New China first sent her players to the 15th Olympic Games in 1952. But in 1956 the IOC allowed the team of Taiwan to attend the Games. China took itself back from the 16th Games. For years China was out of the IOC. The decision to return the China's seat in the IOC was at last made in October, 1979. In the 25th, 26th and 27th Olympic Games the Chinese players were successful in getting a lot of gold medals. All the Chinese people are glad that the 29th Olympic Games will be held in Beijing.

Dear Bill,
Very glad to receive your letter of July 13. Thank you for your congratulations. I was very excited when I heard that Beijing won the bid for the 2008 Olympic Games. Immediately I called Wei Guo and Li Hong to my house. We decided to put up a wall newspaper for our class. We hurried to our classroom and began to work. Wei Guo and Li Hong copied some news from the newspapers. I drew an Olympic flag. The next morning our classmates were both surprised and overjoyed when they saw the wall newspaper.
I hope you can come to China to watch the Olympic Games in 2008.
Sincerely yours.
