Unit 8 Sports2

sc: i agree with you. i think that perhaps these judges have got some good for themselves. i suggest that the olympic committee should research these events and punish those dishonest judges. if this case continues, sports fans will get angry and the olympics will lose the significance.
sd: in my opinion, we should take steps to settle the problems with some of the olympic officials. they have a lot of power and the corruption is very easy to happen to them. once we are blinded to them, they will use their power in a wrong way. i think the olympic committee should take some measures to forbid the corruption to keep the olympic committee clear and fair.
se: yes. i support your idea. and i have one point to add. some officials from cities that want to host the olympics also do bad things. they sometimes bribe the corrupt officials in the olympic committee in order to get their purpose. they also should be punished. if we want the olympics to be successful and popular, we must make sure that the officials don’t do wrong.
sf: now athletes care too much about money and win, which is too selfish. win is important, but there is something else more important. firstly, the olympic athletes meet together not only to compete but also to make friends. all the athletes and sports fans from all over the world get together at the same place just like a big family, without fighting or conflicts. that is good for the world peace and unity. secondly, the olympic spirit is “faster, higher, stronger”. i think its further sense is to make people all over the world live more healthily and happily and also to make the whole nations in the world more friendy and closely from the competitions in the olympic games. thirdly, the olympic games can promote the cultural exchange among
different countries. making the athletes understand these is very important.
