2008北京奥运会即将到来,你会向外国朋友怎样介绍呢? (in English )

Bidding for and hosting the Olympics successfully is, perhaps, the ultimate glory for a city. However, before transforming
the dream into reality, the benefits and drawbacks of bidding for the Olympics should be weighed carefully.

Hosting the Olympics surely would bring about much gain to a city. Boom of the local economy, more jobs, and the possibility

of generating income all sound extremely attractive to the municipal government. At the same time, better infrastructure,

cleaner environment, enjoying the spectacular game with hundreds of sports elites and entertainment stars, and the

opportunity of contacting people from all over the world also seem exciting to the citizens. Besides, the bidding will

definitely promote the patriotic emotion and pride, as well as the moral behavior in local people. In most cases, bidding for

the Olympics is well supported by both the public and the central government.
