Officially established as a celebration at the beginning of the 9th century BC with a law, it included religious rituals and athletic games. With the same law, the area of Olympia was considered a sacred place while a truce was initiated: during the Olympics, all the conflicts among the ancient Greek cities-states stopped. Preparation for the Olympics The first written testimonies with the names of winners, date back from the year 776 BC. There were specific preparations for the event which were:

S2: I really find the Tang Dynasty fascinating. I love the poetry and wanted to find out more about lifeSample dialogue:at the time. So first I went to the History Museum in Tian’anmen Square. I found they have an exhibition of objects from everyday life of the people who lived at the time of the Tang Dynasty. It was very interesting and I got talking to one of the volunteers who takes youround and tells you about the objects. She said she did it in her free time and just because she loves the period — just like me. So I decided I would follow her example. So now I go to the Museum every Saturday and try to help visitors. The Museum Gives me information on the objects, so I have learned a lot. The visitors also ask a lot of questions and this makes me think a lot about the period too. Sometimes I cannot answer their questions but then I try to find out the answers later. So if I am asked that question another time, I will be able to give the correct answer.S1: That is a great way to learn. I would never have thought about doing that. Please can I use your experience in my talk to the class?

A sample
Swimming is my favorite sport.
I like it because it can bring me much fun. The process of learning how to swim is very interesting. WritingYou can try different ways of swimming, such as backstroke. You can swim at any time of the year if you like. In hot summer, if you jump into the river or the sea to have a swim, you will feel cool and comfortable. Even in cold winter, you can swim if you are brave enough. It’s a healthy sport and it can build up our body. If you are a beginner, you must be careful. You’d better not swim alone and bring life buoy with you in case of danger. If you want to be a good swimmer, you must have a lot of practice and have great determination.

Answers:
5 —7 — 2 — 1 — 6 — 3 — 8 — 4 Listening textHello! I’m the torch that lights the Olympic fire and starts every modern Olympic Games.
I always begin my journey from Olympia in Greece where the ancient Games were first held. I’m usually lit by the sun there and carried by many runners from different countries. Many people come to watch as I travel through their country to the host city. However, only the best athletes carry me! It’s a great honour and many athletes hope to get the chance to do so. The greatest honor is to be the last athlete who carries me into the stadium where the Games will be held. The last athlete gets the opportunity to light the Olympic fire. That fire will burn for the whole period of the Games and will only be put out when the Games end. I enjoy being part of so much sporting friendship. Two special sets of Olympics are held the same time as the Summer Olympics. One is for people with physical difficulties and the other for those with learning difficulties. I am always happy when new countries get Olympic medals. I was a wonderful experience to be a bridge between the ancient and the modern Olympic Games. Long may the Olympic continue! Athletes offered presents to the God Zeus; they prayed him to help them win.They came from all the large towns of Greece.Reading taskParts of Greece, Athens and SpartaPractise for many hours, do a lot of exercise to the sound of musicMany presents: free meals and no money problems as well as songs about himWomen could not be trainers even if they had the knowledge and abilityThey let her go, but decide to pass a law that all trainers must be men.Situation:
Suppose you are a coach, and you are coaching a student to prepare for a coming competition. He has practised for some days. You need to write a report to tell him what he needs to practise to improve further.Writing taskNow talk about the form and discuss them with your partners.Zhao Liyuan, 15 years old this year, will compete in running, long jump and table tennis in the coming competition. For each sport, he has both some advantages and disadvantages. In running his speed is OK at first, but his fast speed can’t last Samplelong. In long jump, he has mastered the basic skills and can jump long, but he can’t stand steadily when landing. In table tennis, he is skilled in dealing with unexpected situation, but sometimes he is too nervous. In all, he is good at table tennis, but for running and long jump, there is much to be improved.Thank you.
