1good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen: bidding for the olympic games, in a way, an image-creating undertaking. the first and foremost thing ** to let people fall in love with the city at first sight, attracting them by its unipue image. what image does beijing intend to create for itself once it has the opportunity to host the 2008 olympics? it ** known to all that the beijing municipal ** has already set the theme for the future games: new beijing, great olympics. for me, the 2008 olympics will be a great green olympics illuminated with two more special colors, yellow and red. first, yellow ** a meaningful color. the yellow river ** china's mother river and the descendants of the yellow emperor. th** color has a special origin and great significance for the chinese people. beijing ** the capital of new china and previously the capital for nine dynasties in chinese h**tory. so, yellow will naturally add splendor to the 2008 games. secondly, the 2008 olympics will be a red pageant.red ** another traditionally cher**hed color for the whole country. we adore red. on big occasions, we like to decorate our homes in red. it ** the color of double happiness, representing joyous moments, auspiciousness, enthusiasm and prosperity. red ** one of the most suitable colors to describe the future of beijing . beijing , together with the whole country, ** becoming more and more prosperous in the process of modernization. should the 2008 olympics be held in beijing, the whole city will be a sea of red : the red torch,red flags, red flowers, and the radiant faces of millions of joyful people. above all, the 2008 olympics will be a green olympics. adding a green ingredient ** essential in creating an appealing image, as we can't deny the fact that beijing, at the moment, ** not as green a city as what we like it to be. striving for an environmentally appealing city has become a central task for all the citizens of beijing. big efforts h**e been made in pollution control, replanting and beautification of the city. according to a project entitled" the green olympic action plan", between 1998 and 2007, beijing, we h**e invested 100 billion rmb in preserving and protecting the environment. some 12.5 million trees and over 1 million acres of grass will be planted along the fourth ring road. by then, the city's green area will make up 40% of its total. the city will also dredge its reservoirs used as a water supply to beijing residents, controlling industrial pollution and moving out the 200 factories presently located within the city proper.2 improving beijing's environment for the olympics ladies and gentlemen: good morning! today, the title of my speech ** improving beijing's environment for the olympics. h**e you ever seen animals cry? do you know what makes them cry? it's the polluted world, a dirty world, caused by our irresponsible beh**iors, that makes those lovely animals cry. many of us are smart enough to know how terrible it ** to h**e a world without animals and plants. but some people still pers**t in making the same errors and harming the environment what's worse ** that people are eating wild animals. those people don't know, and more importantly, they don't want to know. th** kind of beh**ior has caused some specific problems. for example, medical experts h**e suggested that eating wild animals helped spread the terrible d**ease **. now, our world ** no longer clean and beautiful. why? because air, water, and no**e pollution has become more and more serious. no**e pollution makes us talk more loudly and become angry more easily. water pollution makes our rivers and lakes very dirty. air pollution ** the most serious kind of pollution. both air pollution and water pollution are not only dangerous to our health, but also dangerous to animals and plants. we're destroying our only world. a large number of trees h**e been cut down, so a lot of lands h**e been turned into deserts. pollution can be seen everywhere! unquestionably it ** essential that we clean up our environment. sadly, we've not always appreciated the importance of protecting the environment. on the streets, you can see cars producing smog. in the bathrooms, you can see students le**ing the water tap on after using them. not only the young people, but also the elderly ones throw things everywhere without thinking it's wrong, even in a beautiful park. these things are taking place every day, even in modern cities like beijing. we can't do that any more. we must learn how to protect the environment. if everyone ** aware of protecting it instead of destroying it, the world can become cleaner, more beautiful, and more peaceful. the theme of beijing 2008 olympic games ** "new peking, new olympic". it's the target owned by every chinese. we should try our best to improve beijing's environment, let's begin to act! first, start with the things around you. don't throw rubb**h onto the road. don't talk loudly when you are outdoors. turn off the water tap after using it. go to school by bike or by bus instead of by private car. s**e your pocket money and contribute to environmental protection organizations. take me as an example, i take action in order to make our only world full of happiness. i pick up rubb**h and throw it into a trashcan. i collect waste ** or bottles for recycling. i plant more trees and flowers, and so on. if you do all these things just like me, it means you h**e done something useful to improve the environment. we're grateful, because the emblem of the beijing 2008 olympic games ** a precious treasure dedicated to the olympic movement by the people of china. under the guidance of the olympic spirit, let us do a better job in all fields of our preparation and venue construction work in an efficient way. we will combine the olympic movement with the latest technology and advanced culture to make the beijing games the best olympic games ever! welcome to beijing! thank you. 20210311
