Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
Beijing makes it, again!
The world athletes, this time winter sports
athletes, gather again in Beijing in 2022.
It was 2008 when the capital of the most
populous country hosted the summer event. While Japan is struggling to budget a
new national stadium to host the 2020 Summer Olympic Games, Beijing has no problem
hosting the opening and closing ceremonies of the winter events at the National
Stadium, also known as the Bird's Nest.
Although the city is known for traffic
congestion and air pollution, they can contain such problems at least during
the event because the authority can restrict any civilian activities at any
time. The question is whether they have enough snow to host the skiing
competitions. Beijing is very cold in winter but it isn’t famous for snow
sports but for ice skating. Well, it may not be surprising to find snow making
factories or weather controlling systems established by then.
By the way, will Brazil get ready for the
2016 games?
Enjoy reading and seeing the joy people in
Beijing are showing.
