The Winter Olympics are soon to begin here in Vancouver. I'm sure you have been hearing lots about them in the news and from family and friends. People have been talking about the Olympics coming to Vancouver for years. Vancouver has been getting ready for this event for years. Lots of changes have occurred in Vancouver to get ready for the Olympics. Lots of excitement is building around the city. People around the world will be watching and learning about Vancouver once the Olympic events begin.
There are people who believe the Olympics coming to Vancouver is fabulous and they want to see as much as they can and go to various free events being held around the city. Other people do not want to support the Olympics and do not even want to be in the city during this time.
How do you feel? Are you pleased to have the Olympics come here? If so, why? Or, do you feel that the Olympics are not a good idea. If so, why do you feel this way? Another way to think about this is ...if you had the power to decide to either have the Olympics happen in Vancouver or not happen in Vancouver, what would you decide and why?
