What are the Olympic Games?

In room 5 we had to write an explanation about the Olympics. We had to write in paragraphs. Here is my explanation of the Olympic games.

What are the Olympic Games?

At the Olympics people from all over the world come to a different country to compete to win a medal.  The countries send their top athletes to compete.  Every four years it is held in some other country. The first ever Olympics were held in Greece.

At the Olympics there are some different medals to win like gold, silver and bronze.  Gold is for first place, silver is for second so that means bronze is for third place.  The gold medal is not solid gold - it is silver with a coat of gold over it.

There are lots of different sports to do at the Olympics.  Some of the sports are rowing, shot put, shooting, cycling and many more different sports.  In the rowing New Zealand won a gold medal in 2016.  The two people that won it were Hamish Bond and Eric Murray.

In conclusion in the Olympics people from all over the world come to do different sports, every 4 years. They all try to win one of the three different kinds of medals called gold, silver and bronze.

Typing Tutor

I have been learning in my touch typing to do short paragraphs. I want to be getting on to my next thing that is Advanced punctuation in intermediate. I did one of the paragraphs and it is called Tracy's flag and I was trying to not look down at the keys while I was doing it.
