Mini-writing (within80words):
Do you think the Olympic Games can help people of different racial origins and from different cultures live side by side in peace? Why or why not?
I believe that the Olympic Games can help people of different racial origins and from different cultures live side by side in peace because sport focuses on a person’s athletic capabilities and not on the colour of their skin or cultural background. The Olympic Games, by celebrating sportsmanship worldwide, draw attention to the hard work that athletes put in and the devotion they have to their specific sport. Sports fans do not care about race or culture either, but instead, are impressed by the athletes’ physical and mental abilities and show their appreciation for every athlete’s effort.
Thank you
for your listening
