I would really like to visit the Olympics and root for the Russian team. My biggest dream is that the next winter Olympics will be held in our village. Then we would have built a huge stadium, ski trampoline, ice rink. All the famous athletes from different countries would have flown to the Olympics and saw our beautiful village. Our class could participate in the Olympics and carry the Olympic flame. But this is only a dream.
My parents and I will just watch the Olympics on TV. It's a pity that the Olympics are held only once in four years.
