4年以后,奧林匹克運(yùn)動(dòng)會(huì)將在我們國家舉行.由于將有大批的人到我們國家來,所以政府準(zhǔn)備建造一些新的飯店、一個(gè)大型體育場和一個(gè)新的奧運(yùn)會(huì)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)游泳池.他們還將修筑一些新的道路和一條鐵路專線.奧運(yùn)會(huì)就在首都市郊舉辦,整個(gè)地區(qū)將被稱作 “奧林匹克城” .工人們將在今年年底前把新路鋪好; 到明年年底,他們將把新體育場建成.這些巨大的現(xiàn)代化建筑是由庫爾特•岡特設(shè)計(jì)的.大家都將急切地注視著新建筑的建成.我們都非常激動(dòng),盼望著奧運(yùn)會(huì)的到來,因?yàn)樵谶@個(gè)國家里還從未舉辦過奧運(yùn)會(huì).
