China’s Olympic lesson

    Although the Athens Games are over,      1     . While busy preparing for the new semester in the first week back at school, many youngsters have started to wonder what Beijing can learn from Athens.

      “I was amazed by the fantastic opening ceremony from the moment it began,” said She Fei, a Senior 2 boy from Beijing Huiwen High School. He represented China in Athens and got the chance to see the opening ceremony with his own eyes.

    “Greece has done such a good job in showing its colorful culture using high-tech methods.     2    ” he said. “It seems that Beijing needs to combine the use of advanced technology with creative design to present its culture to the rest of the world.     3     ” he added.

    Echoing her view on the challenge of designing an unique opening ceremony, Zhang Yufei, Senior 3 from No. 2 High School attached to Beijing Normal University, thinks that director Zhang Yimo’s presentation of Chinese culture will be out of date by 2008.

    “Peking Opera costumes and the big red lantern did not seem to surprise the audience in the closing ceremony.      4     ” She said.

    Other students worry people’s bad habits,     5     , might be the weak point of Beijing 2008.

    “In Athens, all the residents were very careful with their behavior and manners. I think they have set a good example of Olympic hospitality. Beijingers can learn from them and do better.” She Fei said.
