LISTEN TO THE NEW WORDS & NEW SENTENCES
On Monday the torch for the 2008 Olympic Games was lit successfully in ancient Olympia, Greece and it has now started its long journey to Beijing. As with all Chinese people, I am really happy and excited about it.
I would like to present you with some new sentences about this topic and hope it will be a little help to you in learning Chinese.
