WRITE IN A PIECE OF PAPER AN ISSUE RELATED WITH
THE OLYMPIC GAMES
I believe there is nothing wrong with the Olympics as they run today, if something
works, we should leave it alone. Although there are some problems, they are
beyond the responsibility of the Olympic committee.
However, I believe countries at war should be banned
from competing, or at least we should insist on a
ceasefire.
The games should have nothing to do with politics; the games exist to encourage the
highest standards both on and off the field. Breaking
world record is important, but providing excitement is the main purpose of the game.
In the old games, had nothing to do with big business or entertainment for its own sake. Nevertheless. We
athletes were justly proud of our physical and mental
fitness. Sadly, the spirit of the game is dead- the must be given back to Greece where

We are applying to host the games next time so that we can boost our economy and provide more jobs for our
citizens. We could be given an opportunity to improve all kinds of services. As a
small country we should be given a chance to develop,

In my own opinion, the games are a media event: they are all about entertainment. The games should be spectacular-and the system of having the
Olympics in a different country every four years is good because it increases
interest.
As an athlete, I think the Olympics are the
opportunity to prove ourselves on the world stage and to become
better known. In spite of the ideals and bringing
pace and friendship, it is a competition and making a
living.
The world is in crisis, with wars and aggression all around the
world. The games are a symbol of international competition and we have to work with all nations to make them work, despite our
felling towards countries we perceive as aggressors.

SOME IDEAS
“Ladies and get gentlemen. We have discussed some proposal and after some considerations we conclude
that…”
I think We should
PAY ATTENTION TO…
When we are debating or having a discussion, we often use the passive voice with a modal verb:
- To avoid the debate personal.- To avoid accepting responsibility for everything
we say.- When we do not take responsibility for an
action.
e.g. “I think dancing should be taken into consideration because…”
