Sports

I am so terribly sorry for those who came to this site and didn't see much on learning mandarin so i am terribly sorry for that... These few months I was so very busy preparing for the exams and such so i didn't have much time to post on this site so yea so very sorry for that...

As we have known that Beijing... There is nothing really so special about the Beijing Olympics.. apart from the fact that... IT WAS TOTALLY HUGE, IT WAS COSTLY AND AWESOME THAT EVEN ENGLAND MIGHT HAVE SOME TROUBLE HOSTING THE NEXT OLYMPIC GAMES...

Even so let's take a review on how to say each and every different kind of sports...
