Olympics and English

Friday, August 1st, 2008 -- By ET

Beijing is absolutely beautiful with the many new land marks and the upgraded air quality, etc. Despite hostile comments from some foreign news agencies about the preparation of the olympics, I was impressed by the determination and efficiency of the government. It is fair to say that they did their best to offer the stage for the athletes. On the other hand, I’d rather believe that the hostile comments rooted from misunderstandings between different people and different culture.
