As you all know by now the 2008 Olympic Games are due to start tomorrow. As part of your homework you are required to comment on one of the following statements. Choose the one that you feel most strongly about and put some thought into your answer. You need to write at least a paragraph, clearly stating your view and if you are for or against. Remember to use correct language and grammar (this is not Bebo or msn!!) and check your spelling and punctuation.
1. Rugby should be a sport at the Olympic games
2. The Olympics should not be held because of the risk of terrorism
3. Canada is offering their athletes $20000 if they win a gold medal, $15000 for a silver medal and $10000 for a bronze medal. Do you think New Zealand should do the same? What are the pros and cons of doing this?
4. Every single athlete from every country should be drug tested before and during the Olympics.
Remember to label your writing - I need to know who wrote what. I am looking forward to reading some interesting and valid arguments. Good Luck !! :)
