Here are some quick ideas for using this site: 1. Look at the tabs on top of the page - try them and work out the translation for each one 2. Look at CABANG OLAHRAGA - with a friend, work out what each Olympic sport is in English 3. Choose an Indonesian 'Atlet' (athlete). Find out their cabang olahraga (sport), age, sex, and what part of Indonesia they come from. Google their name and write a short report (in English if you like) about each one. 4. Using the internet, find out:how many Australian and Indonesian athletes are part of the Olympic team for London?how many medals were won by each country in Bejing?what sports do Indonesian athletes do well in?
