OLYMPIC GAMES

The Olympics have a very long history. They began in 776 B.C. and took place every four years for nearly 1200 years at Olympia, in Greece. The citizens of all the Greek states were invited to take part in the games. The prizes were wreaths made of the branches of olive trees. In 394 A.D. the games were stopped by the Roman Emperor Theodosius, and they were not held again until 1896. The games of 1896 were held at Athens and they were the first international Olympic games. All the nations of the world were invited to send athletic teams. From then and until present time the Olympic games have been international and the number of athletes taking part and the number of events on the programme have increased.

In these games only amateurs or non-professional athletes can take part. Each country sends teams for as many of the different events as possible. The winners of each event are given a certain number of points. The International Olympic Committee decides where each Olympics will take place. They ask a city (not a country) to be the host.

The Olympic games are attended by thousands and thousands of people every time they are held. They provide an opportunity for lovers of sports of all nations to meet together and get acquainted with each other. In this way the Olympic games contribute to international good will and understanding.

DO THE ENGLISH SPEAK ENGLISH?

 

I arrived in London at last. The railway station was big and dark. I did not know the way to my hotel, so I asked a porter. I not only spoke English very carefully, but very clearly as well. The porter, however, could not understand me. I repeated my question several times and at last he understood. He answered me, but he spoke neither slowly nor clearly. ‘I am a foreigner’, I said. Then he spoke slowly, but I could not understand him. My teacher never spoke English like that! The porter and I looked at each other and smiled. Then he said something and I understood it. ‘You’ll soon learn English!’ he said. I wonder. In England, each man speaks a different language. The English understand each other, but I don’t understand them. Do they speak English?
