Beijing is the first city ever to hold both Summer and Winter Olympic Games. Now, let’s take a look at some of the most popular events in the Winter Olympic Games.
Figure skating
Figure skating is one of the most popular sports at the Winter Olympics, where ice skaters, singly or in pairs, perform freestyle movements of jumps, spins, lifts, and footwork in a graceful manner. The figure skating competition is one of the fiercest at the Winter Olympics. To win the game, the skater can’t make any mistakes.
Curling
Curling is one of the most unique sports at the Winter Olympics — a winter sport played by t
wo teams of four players on a rectangular sheet of ice. The two teams take turns to slide large round flat stones towards a target. Members of each team use brooms to sweep the surface of the ice in the path of the stone to control its speed and direction.And while curling may be a “slow” sport, it’s still full of skill, suspense and excitement!
Snowboarding
Snowboarding is a popular winter sport that involves sliding downhill on snow with a snowboard firmly attached to a rider’s feet. The sport is said to have been inspired by surfing, skiing and skateboarding, as an alternative to alpine skiing (高山滑雪).While snowboarding is one of the newer events — first included at the 1998 Winter Olympics, it has become one of the most popular and exciting sports at the Winter Olympics.

Ice hockey is a game between two teams who wear skates and compete on an ice rink (溜冰场). Each team usually has six players. The object is to push the puck (冰球) past a goal l

I fell in love with music from a young age and often sat down making a few songs of my own.What would life be like, I wondered, without a beautiful song? In 1992, I made two love songs to my darling wife and watched tears run down her face as I sang.“Sam,” she said earnestly, “Your songs should be heard by more people.”
She got my ballads and started bothering various media people about me, her singing barber husband. Two radio stations took an interest and played the songs. After the programme was aired, I became known in our community as the Singing Barber.
The biggest surprise, however, was still to come. I received a call from a music promoter who offered me a long-term recording contract. He explained that he would be investing a lot of money to market my songs. I needed to be wholly focused on selling my records all over Australia.
But I hesitated.
My friends all told me to go for it. And Mary also thought I should do. “Go, Sam. I’ll manage with it’ll be OK.”
I watched my daughter and son playing in the backyard. Soon they would both be in high school and where would I be? I was so used to my family turning to me for love and support. If I were to start a singing career, I would not only miss them terribly, I’d also certai
nly miss out on watching them grow up. Signing this contract would put a huge gap between my family and me and I couldn’t bear it. My family was my life. So I refused the music promoter’s offer. I’m still making music. I’m rich in love and I have no regrets.
