1. i think the olympic games help countries live peacefully side by side. the olympic motto is ‘swifter, higher, and stronger’. athletes come from all around the world to compete in the olympics. they each represent their own country and try to win medals for that country. however, it is not all about winning. competing in the olympic is a great honor and it is a great opportunity to meet talented athletes from all over the work. it is also a great opportunity to build relationships with other countries live peacefully, side by side.2. i think deng yaping is the greatest olympic athlete because she is unarguably the world’s greatest female table tennis player and has won virtually every female title in almost all the word table tennis competitions. the list of deng’s accomplishments is long and impressive: four-time olympic champion in table tennis, twice in singles at barcelona and atlanta, and twice in doubles with her partner qiao hong, in 1992 and 1996. as an experienced player she has nerves of steel and a determination to succeed. at 1.49 meters tall she is the greatest female player of all times. i admire her very much. 3. they set a great example. they work hard, are determined, strong-willed and have great confidence and perseverance. they show us that if you put your mind to something and work hard at it, you will succeed.2. let’s divide into several groups and discuss the following questions:what is the spirit of the olympic games? what can you learn from it?do you think that “swifter, higher, stronger” is a good motto not only for sports but also for life in general? why?do you agree with the saying “the more gold medals a country wins, the stronger the country is.”? why or why not?recently, there was news about athletes using drugs in the olympic games. what do you think of this? what can be done to prevent this kind of thing from happening again?3. next, let’s have a class debate on the following subject:hosting the olympic games is a great honor for a country, but at the same time it costs a lot of money. do you think hosting the olympics will be a good opportunity to develop the host country’s economy and tourism, or will it be a heavy burden on the economy?language points:1. i am delighted to have been invited to your school.
