The Beijing Olympics are on their way. What are you most looking forward to about the Games?

 Yang Zhili, 13, Shanghai

Our school went to see the Special Olympics held in Shanghai. We were amazed that disabled people could play sports so well. We really felt the spirit of the Olympics. I’m interested in how the Beijing Olympic flame (火炬) is being passed. How many people are there in China carrying it? I think Liu Xiang must be one of them because he runs so fast.

Yan Shuang, 14, Tianjin

My parents have booked tickets to the opening ceremony of the Beijing Games. I want to watch the basketball math to see Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian. And it’s really exciting that many foreign visitors will come to Beijing this year. I’ll be able to make lots of foreign friends and learn more about their cultures.

Wu Bozhen, 13, Xi’an, Shanxi

I have a dream: sitting in the Bird’s Nest and watching the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics. But I can’t afford the trip, so I can only watch my favorite sports on TV: the men’s 110m hurdles (跨栏) and the diving. I hope Liu Xiang can win again. I also want to introduce foreign visitors to Xi’an.

Liu Cong, 13, Beijing

When the Beijing Olympics are held, I’ve graduated from high school. I’ve been a volunteer. I’d like to work in stadiums: if I’m lucky, I’ll get the signatures (签名) of my favorite players. By the way, I think some Beijingers still have bad habits, like littering. And some men go out without shirts in summer. I don’t think that’s polite. As hosts, we should behave nicely.
