　　The 2008 Olympic Games and I(2008年奧運會和我)

　　The year of 2008 is getting closer and closer to us. We need to take actions from now on to prepare for the game. What we need to do most is to work on our disadvantages and shortcomings. As a student of Senior high, I can do my own part. Although I can’t transform our city into more a beautiful place on my own, I can help Beijing in small ways and encourage our classmates and people around me to follow my lead.

　　Let me take the environment for example, the atmosphere around Beijing is quite disappointing, factories and cars keep giving off exhausts into the air, we can hardly see the blue sky with our naked eyes, because the sky is covered with a thick layer of harmful substances. The sky is gray instead of blue. To our delight, the government has passed some laws of protecting the air, and we can do something useful, too. For example, whenever we go out for a long distance, ride the bike or take the buses and subways instead of taxis. You may not have a clue how it works. Of course doing that only by one person is far from enough, but we can let more people do that together. In that case the result may be more than we bargained for.

　　Another thing we need to work on is our English skills. Teachers and parents often put great emphasis on our English skills especially listening and speaking. I want to be a volunteer in 2008, to be an interpreter. For now, I must do something helpful to improve my spoken English. Rome isn’t build in a day, so is English. It can’t be improved in a day or two. It takes time and energy. There are no shortcuts to improve your spoken English; the most productive way is to grab all opportunities around you to open your mouth. For instance, taking part in all kinds of English contests is a good way, you can meet some excellent contestants, and you can share the experience of learning and some good method of learning. I will keep participating in all English activities to polish up my English. I’m sure by the year of 2008, I will be able to master English well just as my mother tongue.

　　All in all, I’m sure that Beijing Olympic Games will be one of the most successful Games in history. I believe our long-cherished dream will be fulfilled in a perfect way!

　　譯文：

　　2008年奧運會和我

　　2008年離我們越來越近了，我們必須從現(xiàn)在開始采取行動，來為奧運會做準備。我們最需要做的，是克服缺點和改進不足之處。作為一名高中生，我們可以做我們力所能及的事情。雖然我不能光靠我自身的力量把這座城市妝點得更美麗，但我可以用自己的方式，來改變北京并且鼓勵我的同學們和我周圍的人和我一起做。

　　讓我以環(huán)境為例，北京周圍的大氣環(huán)境比較令人失望，工廠和汽車不斷地向空中排放廢氣，我們幾乎用肉眼看不到藍色的天空了。因為天空被一層厚厚的有害物質(zhì)所覆蓋， 天空成了灰色，而不是藍色。令我們高興的是，政府已經(jīng)出臺一些保護大氣環(huán)境的相關法規(guī)。我們呢，也可以做一些有用的事情。比如說，每當我們要出遠門的時候，騎自行車或乘坐公交車和地鐵來代替出租車。你可能不知道這會有什么用。當然，只靠一個人的力量是遠遠不夠的，但是我們可以讓更多的人一起去做。 這樣的話，結果才有可能收效顯著。
