Hi. I’m Alex from Bei Jing No.80 middle school. It’s an honor for me to have this opportunity to share some of thoughts with all of you at this moment.
As we all know, Beijing has the opportunity to host the 2008 Summer Olympic Game. We have been waiting for years for this chance to show others around the world to our very home, and show them the combination of technology, history, and environment that we all cherish well. We’re pretty satisfied with our nationality, locally. But as I traveled to a few foreign countries, I realize that some children with Chinese backgrounds are unwilling or ashamed to be what they are, because of some unavoidable racism and racial discrimination. And some are just embarrassed because they have black hair, brown eyes and yellow skin; they think being like this makes them look ugly, some even wished that they were Caucasian. It’s a sad reality that these people really exist. So I realized that how important it is to make understanding between others and us.
So, what does racism have to do with the 2008 Olympics? As I have mentioned, it’s a chance. But it isn’t just a chance for us to go and show others our culture. It’s a chance for us to go and show some people who we really are, it’s a chance for us to go and show some people that if they can do it, we can do it, too. It’s a chance to let them change their view about us forever, and then they will know that no matter what race you are we are all the same, no race is more better then the other in any field. But this chance only comes for once in a lifetime; let’s not waste it. I don’t think anyone wants to wait for another fifty years; the future is now. So don’t stand there and wait, you have to run to it. Maybe things will happen during this marathon, but one thing is for sure, we will all make it. So let’s not lose faith.
一次机会
大家都知道，北京会在2008年举办奥运会。我们等了很久才等到了这个能让我们展现自己祖国的文化科技的机会。在国内居住的人都对自己的国籍感到满意。可当我去外国旅游时我才发现，一些家里是中国人的孩子，范文，都有一定的自卑感，因为一些无法避免的种族歧视，有些孩子就因为他们有黑头发黑眼睛黄皮肤而感到羞耻，因为他们认为当白人可以更美。这个世界上真的有这么可悲的人存在，所以我意识到增进人与人的相互理解的重要性。
可这些与奥运会有什么关系呢？正如我说的，2008年的奥运会是一次机会，但不单单是一个让我们展示中华民族文化的机会。它是一个可以让外国人更加了解我们的机会，它是一个可以让某些外国人知道如果他们办得到我们也可以办到，让他们知道他们并不是所谓的“超人类种族”，这是一个可以永远改变某些外国人对我们的看法的机会。但这样的机会一生只来一次，所以我们要珍惜它，我想没人想再等五十年。我们要去迎接这个机会，可能在这途中会有一些事情发生，但可以肯定的是我们都会安全到达的，所以千万不要放弃。
