Beijing Olympic Games gives the world so many surprises, we show our new image to the
world. Many Chinese heroes fought for the right to hold the Olympic Games, finally we made
it. Now we are also successful in winning the right to hold the winter Olympic Games. Our
insistence helps us to make so many miracles.
Beijing has become the only city to hold the summer and winter Olympic Games so far,
we are so proud of it. But the road to achieve this amazing phenomenon is such tough. Early
in the 1990s, we started to compete for the vote, but the world did not know our country, the
judgers believed that our country was far away from the qualification. So we were rejected
again and again. Thanks to the insistent effort, we won the vote and fulfilled this dream. Two
days ago, we won another vote for holding the winter Olympic Games. Two times to win the
rights is such inspiring news, we are creating miracle all the time.
Insistent effort will bring good luck, I believe that we can creating more miracles.
When news arrived in November that Beijing was bidding for the 2022 Winter Olympics,
many observers in the Chinese capital briefly choked on their tea— or was that the smog?
A few years removed from hosting the Summer Olympics, with virtually no winter sports
tradition to speak of and bad air that gets worse when the temperatures drop, Chinas capital
seemed as likely a choice to host the Winter Games as Dubai or Bankok.
Eight months later, the International Olympic Committee has named Beijing, which has
proposed hosting the games in conjunction with the nearby city of Zhangjiakou, as one of the
three finalists for the bid, along with Oslo in Norway and Kazakhstans Almaty.
The 2022 Winter Olympics has become known as the Olympics no one wants to host after
a long list of candidates dropped their bids. Stockholm, Munich, two cities in Switzerland,
Denver, Krakow and Lviv in Ukraine all pursued the idea of hosting the event to varying
degrees but ultimately decided to withdraw themselves from consideration over the past few
months— leaving only the three finalists.
With the exception of Lviv, which cancelled its bid last week because of continuing
political strife in Ukraine, most of the other drop-outs appear to have been frightened away
by the specter of this years Winter Games in Sochi, which emptied Russias coffers to the tune
of $51 billion and left little of value behind.
My name is Li Hua. I would like to work as volunteer for 2022 Beijing-Zhangjiakou Winter
Olympic Games. I’m a boy of eighteen years old from a high school. My spoken English is
good and I can communicate with foreigners fluently. What’s more, I have other advantages –
I’m especially fond of sports, familiar with Beijing, good at communication and always glad to
help other. I’m willing to provide the best service for every athlete in Winter Olympic Games.
Therefore, I think I’m suitable for serving the Games.
I would appreciate it if you could offer me the chance to be a volunteer.
