Should Shanhai bid for（申辦）the Summer Olympics in 2028? Here are some people's opinions．

Some people said,“The games will improve Shanghai's global influence and the city is powerful and must try to become a platform（平臺(tái)）for major international dialogues, Shanghai has succeeded in holding the World Expo in 2010 and the city can also hold the successful Summer Olympics. "

Others, however, are not sure that it's a good idea. They think the Olympics would be too expensive and the money could be better spent on other things.

The 2008 Beijing Olympics brought much prestige(聲望) to the city and to China, but its cost, over $40 million, was high and the Olympic site(場(chǎng)地) in the center of the city is now largely unused, Could Shanghai learn from Beijing's experience and do it better?

My answer is yes. As one American said, "A great city has to do great things. " Shanghai is a great city and is not afraid of facing challenges. Holding the 2028 Summer Olympics would prove that.

1.Shanghai held the World Expo in 2010 successfully.

2.The Olympic site in the center of Beijing is now largely used.

3.The 2008 Beijing Olympics cost more than $40 million.

4.All people think it is a good idea for Shanghai to hold the Summer Olympics,

5.The writer thinks Shanghai can learn from Beijing's experience and do it better.

I will never forget the tenth summer of childhood with my grandfather in western Norway at the mountain farm where my mother was born. As a boy ,I always thought people simply bought whatever they need. Whether Grandfather knew this, I don’t know. One day he said, ”Come, I have something for you.”

I followed him to a workroom. “You should have a toy boat. You can sail it at Storvassdal.” He said. Great, I thought,looking around for the boat. But there was none.

Grandfather pointed to a block of wood. “The boat is in there,” he said. Then he handed me some tools and showed me how to use them properly. “It’ll be a fine boat,and you’ll make it with your own hands,” he said,”No one can give you what you do for yourself.” The words rang in my head as I worked. Finished the boat. It wasn’t much to look at ,but I was poud. Then I sailed it at Storvassdal.

We had to return to America. “You cannot bring that boat home with you,” my mother said. We already had too much baggage. Feeling sad, I hid my boat under a big rock at Storvassdal.

I said good-bye to Grandfather, not knowing I would never see him again.

In 1964, I went to Storvassdal with my parents and my wife and children. To my surprise,for 34 years my treasure stayed here,waiting for my return. I felt we three were togethet again although my grandfather had died 22 years before.

I carved”1930”and”1964” on its side and put it back.

I returned to the lake in 1968,1971,1977 and 1988. Each time I had the boat and carved the year,my grandfather seemed near.

My last trip to Storvassdal was in 1991. I brought my granddaughters: Catherine,13; Claire,12. I hoped they would understand the importance of the little boat and its simple message. At Storvassdal, Claire said softly, ‘Grandpa,someday I’ll come back.’ She added,”And I’ll bring my children.”
