4年以后，奧林匹克運(yùn)動(dòng)會(huì)將在我們國(guó)家舉行。由于將有大批的人到我們國(guó)家來(lái)，所以政府準(zhǔn)備建造一些新的飯店、一個(gè)大型體育場(chǎng)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(chǎng)建成。這些巨大的現(xiàn)代化建筑是由庫(kù)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(lái)，因?yàn)樵谶@個(gè)國(guó)家里還從未舉辦過(guò)奧運(yùn)會(huì)。
