Ask for a short English speech ~ 100 words or so ~ (about welcoming the Olympics)

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.

To some extent, bidding for the Olympic Games is an image-building undertaking. The first thing is to make people fall in love with the city at first sight and attract them with its unique image. Once Beijing has the opportunity to host the 2008 Olympic Games, what kind of image does it intend to create for itself? As we all know, the Beijing Municipal Government has determined the theme of the future Olympic Games: New Beijing, Great Olympics. For me, the 2008 Olympic Games will be a great green Olympic Games, illuminated by two other special colors: yellow and red.

First of all, yellow is a meaningful color. The Yellow River is the mother river of China and the cradle of Chinese civilization. We are yellow race, descendants of the Yellow Emperor. This color has a special origin and important significance for China people. Beijing is the capital of New China and the capital of nine dynasties in the history of China. Therefore, yellow will naturally add luster to the 2008 Olympic Games.

Secondly, the 2008 Olympic Games will be a red event.

Red is another traditional precious color in the whole country. We like red. On important occasions, we like to decorate our home with red. It is the color of double happiness, representing joyful moment, auspiciousness, enthusiasm and prosperity. Red is one of the most suitable colors to describe Beijing's future. Together with the whole country, Beijing has become more and more prosperous in the process of modernization.

Most importantly, the 2008 Olympic Games will be a green Olympics.

Adding green ingredients is very important to create an attractive image, because we can't deny the fact that Beijing is not the green city we want at present. Building a beautiful city has become the central task of all Beijing residents. Great efforts have been made to control pollution, plant trees and beautify cities.

Of course, all this is not easy. But I believe all of us are confident to achieve these green goals. At present, we have the full support and participation of citizens with environmental awareness. Every citizen shows great concern for every measure taken by the municipal government. As the saying goes, "United, we stand up," a green Beijing will be realized.

When our wish comes true, it will be a unique Olympic Games. New Beijing, Great Olympics will be woven from these three gorgeous colors: yellow, red and green.

Let's welcome it and look forward to it! Thank you!

08, New Beijing, Tricolor New Olympics

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.

Bidding for the Olympic Games is an image-building project from a certain angle. The first and most important thing to do is to make people fall in love with this city at first sight and attract them with its unique image. Once Beijing becomes the host city of the 2008 Olympic Games, what kind of image will she create for herself? As we all know, the Beijing Municipal Government has set the theme for the future sports meeting: New Beijing, Great Olympics. For me, the 2008 Olympic Games will be a green Olympic Games, supplemented by two other special colors-yellow and red.

First of all, yellow is a meaningful color. The Yellow River is the mother river of China and the birthplace of Chinese civilization. We are yellow race, descendants of Chinese people. This color has a special origin and important significance for China people. Beijing is not only the capital of New China, but also the capital of nine dynasties in the history of China. Therefore, yellow will naturally add luster to the 2008 Olympic Games.

Secondly, the 2008 Olympic Games will be a red event.

Red is another traditional color cherished by the people of China. We like red. On important festivals, we like to decorate our home with red. Red is the color of double happiness, symbolizing happiness, auspiciousness, enthusiasm and prosperity. Red is one of the most suitable colors to describe Beijing in the future. Together with the motherland, Beijing is moving towards prosperity and strength in the process of modernization.

Most importantly, the 2008 Olympic Games will be a green Olympic Games.

To create an attractive image, we must add green, because we can't deny the fact that Beijing is not a satisfactory green city at present. Efforts to become a pleasant city have become the central task of Beijing citizens. The city has made great efforts in pollution control, planting trees and flowers and beautifying.

Of course, this is not a simple task. But I firmly believe that we are confident to achieve these green goals, because we have the full support and participation of environmentally conscious citizens. Every citizen is paying close attention to every measure taken by the municipal government. As the saying goes, "the power of unity is great", and a green Beijing will definitely become a reality.

When our expectations come true, it will be a unique Olympic Games. "New Beijing, Great Olympics" will be interwoven with three gorgeous colors: yellow, red and green.

Let's look forward to and welcome it! thank you
