Think and write The incorrect version of Chinese national flag was raised at the awarding ceremony at the Rio Olympics. What are your feelings about this affair?
(If possible, use as many expressions from the article as possible. Write 60-80 words) From my point of view, there is nothing ambiguous about the fact that this affair sets me thinking a lot. Undoubtedly, I feel more than humiliated when seeing the incorrect Chinese national flag at the Rio Olympics. The national flag, which gives each country a unique identity, admits of no distortion(扭曲、变形). Implied behind the colours, shapes and patterns of the national flag are the values, beliefs and culture of each country. To a certain degree, it is the dignity of our country that our national flag represents. Should there appear incorrectness of our national flag, we should hold a reasonable attitude towards it. First of all, communication with the relevant officials does count. Besides, it is a must for us to strongly ask the committee to immediately correct the mistakes on the Chinese national flags. Never should we compromise on this matter. Last but not least, do as you would be done by. Faced with a different national flag, which represents a different culture, we ourselves may as well clearly understand it and greatly respect it to avoid causing offence.
Homework Write down your feelings about the affair that the incorrect version of Chinese national flag was raised at the awarding ceremony at the Rio Olympics.
