The Olympic Games, first held in 776BC, has a history of more than one thousand years. The modern Games is held every four years. Many countries try their best to bid for hosting the Olympic Games. And every country does its best to get more medals in the Games.
There are five rings on the Olympic flag, which are considered to symbolize the five continents: Europe, Asia, Africa, Oceania and America. The Olympic motto is: "Swifter, higher, stronger." The Games can promote the understanding and friendship among different peoples and different nations.
Talking about my favorite sport, undoubtedly, it is swimming. Firstly, I love swimming because it is beneficial to the health in that by swimming every part of the body including the joints and muscles is exercised. Water is like a capable massage that makes you comfortable. More importantly, swimming is a very clean sport for me because it would not leave you all the sweating on your body like running, basketball and tennis. And in the summer, it is really an enjoyment to jump into the water and have a swimming. In addition, it is known to all that swimming would shape the figure, especially for girls, so that’s why I love swimming. In my country, there is even winter swimming that exercise the patience of a person.
