This month I am going to challenge you to write postcards to Olympic athletes.

We can do our exercise for healthy how we can not need, like an athlete one,because they are professional.Some make a joke if you make walking exercise one day you will be long live one day.Some time we can see some of olympic athlete or sport persons ,they are involve and related with bribery scandal,we are very disappointed for them.I hope and i wish all of the athlete or sport persons should be clean and fair and endeavour in their professional to success and achieve their goal,may God bless you all ,thanks for all.
Actually it's too hot in Dubi ! so i can not imagine how we have another places which have rain, snow and cold weather.When i phoned my Mum in Jordan two days ago , she told me that there was a rain and cold there.I felt something like a dream and i asked myself " Is there something called "winter" that's really strange!". I started to forget the winter ,rain ,snow and cold ! Since i forget those meanings , Words like "winter Olympic games , Skiing , Ice skating will be meaningless.Sorry Tara i'd like to write but i can not feel that.Can you give me any advice?
I just added my postcard for Armenian athletes.
Thanks for this challenge.
Congratulations for your grandmother:-)
I just added my 'postcard'.
A good opportunity to practise sports English. Learners could use a little help to be familiar with names of some events. Sports English could be a challenge to learners.
BTW, happy birthday to your grandmother!
As always unique ideas by you ...
Here is the link to my postcard ...
Have a great time
:)
