Dear Sir or Madam:

Thank you for taking your time to read my letter. As the coming of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games I'd like very much to be a volunteer.

All our Chinese are hosts for this special event. Above all I promise I should endeavor to serve with enthusiasm our distinguished guests and athletes from all over the world. Besides I have a rich knowledge about Chinese history so I will be not only a servant but also a carrier for our splendid culture. What's more as we all know English as an international language will play an important role in communication during Olympics and I am good at it. I can express myself fluently and clearly in English.

To sum up I believe I can be a qualified volunteer. I will value it and do all I can if I could be accepted to be one.

Yours

Li Hua

Olympics in Posters

There are two people in either posters each of which tells something about Olympic spirits.

In the first poster two badminton players hold one gold medal together which suggests that cooperation always comes first in Olympics. Although all the players struggles to be higher faster and stronger the teamwork usually plays a very important role in a lot of events such as football group gymnastics and relay races.

In the second poster in the relay race one athlete is passing an olive branch instead of a baton on to the next one. What does it mean? It shows us that the Olympics mean more than just competition. Peace and friendship are also part of the Olympics!

In short all the events involved in Olympics are symbols of strength competition and more importantly cooperation and world peace.

My dear fellow students

The Olympics are just around the corner. Today I want to talk about good manners and courtesy.

We Chinese have always been respected and highly praised for good manners and courtesy which have as well become precious traditions of our people. In a couple of weeks beyond a large number of foreign friends will come to China to join us in enjoying the Olympics. Before foreign guests we should have an easy manner and behave politely and warm-heartedly. In public places such ugly behaviors as uproar pushing or squeezing together spitting and so on should be determinedly forbidden. In a sense each of us will not simply stand for ourselves but stand for China. Therefore boys and girls let’s do it well right now and the eyes of the world are to on us!

For the purpose of holding a “non-smoking” Olympic Games and improving the health of Chinese people an activity to ban smoking inside taxis has been running in Beijing since October 1 2007.

The steps are taken as follows. First of all signs of “No Smoking” are put on in taxis. Secondly taxi drivers are forbidden to smoke inside taxis. Whoever breaks the rule will get fined. Additionally drivers are responsible for persuading passengers out of smoking in the taxis. This activity needs joint efforts of all the citizens which will in turn benefit both drivers and passengers. In order to achieve the goal let's do our bit.
