"Beijing is capable of staging a GREat Olympic Games," said the 71-year-old South Korean. "The result wasn't a surprise to me."
With the motto "New Beijing, GREat Olympics", Beijing promises to host a "Green Olympics", a "Hi-tech Olympics" and the "People's Olympics".
The 3,000-year-old city is becoming a truly international city and showing a new, vigorous image through its ongoing economic reforms.
Beijing enjoys the widest popular support among the five bidding cities. A Gallup opinion poll commissioned by the government showed 94.9 percent of the public in favor of it. The IOC's own surveys found support even higher. The Chinese government has pledged to spend 20 billion U.S. dollars building sports complexes and refurbishing the Beijing infrastructure. There are plans for a new exhibition center with twin skyscrapers that could be taller than any in the world.
My Doll
Today is Sunday. I took out the nice doll again. Two years ago, my mother bought her for me on my birthday.
It is a girl. I like to call her "Yuan Yuan", because she has a round face, a round head and round eyes. Her nose and mouth are round too.
Yuan Yuan is wearing a red and white dress, a red hat and red shoes. There is a long pigtail behind her head. I can see a smile on her face when I come back home. How lovely she is!
Yuan Yuan and I are good friends.She looks like my little sister. I usually play games with her. She often listens to me when I tell her a story. I go to bed with her. I think I can't sleep without her.
I like yuanyan very much I think She likes me too!
