13. Reflecting
Can you describe some sports events that you have learnt about in this unit
In a 4×100 m relay race, runners pass a baton to one another, and the team that
finishes first wins, making it very exciting.
In ski jumping, athletes fly through the air, and it is not easy to do what they do ...
What have you learnt about the two Beijing Olympic Games
I have learnt a lot about the two Beijing Olympic Games. Hosting both the Olympics
brought challenges and opportunities to China and the Chinese people. They helped
make the world more united through sporting events and played a huge role in
helping the world see China’s success in its reform and opening-up.
13. Reflecting
What have you learnt about the rules for subject-verb agreement
As in “Everybody is so excited about Sports Day”, “everybody” is singular.
As in “Neither is really suitable for me”, “neither” is singular.
As in “Either Wang Yaming or Adam is a possible choice”, the verb agrees with
“Adam”, the subject after “or.”
Can you talk about your favourite sports event or athlete and explain why
My favourite sports event is the 4×100 m relay race. In this event, four members on
each team pass the baton to one another, and the first team to cross the finish line is
the winner. I like this event because it is exciting and shows that teamwork matters.
13. Reflecting
How do you understand the spirit of sport
We should never give up when we meet difficulties.
...
The most important thing in sport
is not winning but taking part.

2. Read the introduction and think about the question.
Eric Moussambani, a swimmer from Equatorial
Guinea, became famous at the 2000 Sydney
Olympic Games after competing in the 100-metre
freestyle.
Before the Olympics, he had never swum in a
50-metre pool and trained in a small pool that
he could only use for an hour every morning.
He finished the race in 1 minute 52 seconds, the
slowest time in Olympic history.
He later became a swimming coach in his country.

He competed in the 100-metre freestyle swimming event at the 2000 Sydney Olympics.

minute 52 seconds to under 57 seconds, and became the coach of his nation’s swimming team.
(3) What made him admirable
He trained for only eight months, and his only pool was a small hotel pool. He nearly drowned
during his race, but he tried hard and finished it. His courage showed the true Olympic spirit.
(4) What other aspects about him do you want to share
His story proves that the Olympics celebrate effort and courage, not just medals—the crowd’s
loud cheers showed that people recognize and admire perseverance over perfection.
4. Read the text again and analyze the structure.

(2) Body: tell the story

6. Think about these questions. Discuss in groups and share.
(1) Why did Eric begin swimming only eight months before the Olympic Games
He came from Equatorial Guinea, where training conditions were reportedly very
poor, so he did not begin swimming until just eight months before the Olympic
Games.
(2) Why did Eric swim in a hotel pool
Perhaps there was no professional swimming training facility available.
6. Think about these questions. Discuss in groups and share.
(3) What makes Eric a “winner” even without a medal
He never gave up, even when he nearly drowned during the race. He finished bravely
and showed both courage and perseverance.
(4) How did hard work change Eric’s life after the Olympics
He went from being an unknown, inexperienced swimmer to a national coach. This
change allowed him to give back to his country, share what he had learned, and build a
new life through his own efforts.
(5) Why is Eric a true example of the Olympic spirit
He showed the true Olympic spirit of courage, perseverance, and determination. He
gave his best even in difficult conditions and inspired others through his efforts.
7. Think before writing. Talk in pairs and share with the class.
(1) Have you ever met someone around you who is just like Eric
(2) What can Eric’s story remind us of
“The race isn’t always about winning, but about having the courage to start, and the
perseverance to finish.”
“What makes an athlete admirable is not the medals they win, but the spirit they carry—
of never giving up, no matter how hard the journey is.”

Good morning, everyone. Today, I’d like to share with you why Beijing is a truly special Olympic city.
First, let’s talk about the 2008 Summer Olympics. The opening ceremony was magnificent, showing Chinese culture to the whole
world. Its motto was “One World, One Dream”. I was deeply impressed by the amazing achievements of athletes like Usain Bolt,
who broke the world record in the 100 metres, and Du Li, who won a dramatic gold medal in shooting.
Then, fourteen years later, Beijing hosted the 2022 Winter Olympics. The motto was “Together for a Shared Future”. Nearly 2,900
athletes from all over the world came to compete in 109 events. The mascot, Bing Dwen Dwen, became a huge symbol of friendship
and joy.
These two Games have a lot in common. Both were not just sports events, but also platforms for building bridges between different
countries. They showed China’s development and its warm welcome to the world. The Olympic spirit of unity and peace touched
my heart deeply.
In conclusion, Beijing’s two Olympics taught us that sports have the power to bring people together. They are great memories for
China and for the world.
Thank you.

Before the Olympics, he had never swum in a
