Dialogue one.

W: Do you think the open ceremony will be a success?

M: Our country has been waiting for years to host the Olympics. So I think it will be fantastic.

M: I am sure we will. I think we will get gold medals in gymnastics, diving and shooting. What do you think?

W: We might also get one in rolling. Don’t you think?

M: That’s true.

W: Do you know what the motto is of the next game?

M: I think it’s something like new Beijing, great Olympics.

Dialogue two.

M: Do you know what happens at the opening ceremony for the Olympics?

W: I think that is when some of the athletes bring the torch in for everyone to watch the flames.

M: Why do they do that?

W: The Olympic flame is a symbol that reminiscence of the ancient Olympic games.

M: Do the winter and summer Olympics take place in the same year?

W: No. The Olympic games consist of the games of the Olympia, which takes place in the summer of one year. And the Olympic winter games which take place in the winter 2 years later.

M: Do they both take place every 4 years?

W: Yes. I wish they took place more often though. I really love watching all the different athletes from around the world.

M: Do you know which cities are the candid cities for the next Olympic games?

W: I think it’s Paris, Frankfurt, New York, and Stockholm.

M: Who do think will win?

W: I think Paris might. Because they have been the candidate city for the last 2 or 3 games.

M: If you are able to get the tickets to see a game in Paris would you go?

W: Of course I would. I will do anything to go and see the Olympics in any country.
