2012 London Olympics
Opening ceremony
By Jade Zhang
The Olympics are
here again! The London
opening ceremony gives it a "loud and thumpy" start. The whole thing
had our jaws dropping on the floor! It was inspiring, admiring, with a bunch of
rockets firing. It was extraordinary! For a more detailed review, keep on
reading!
In the beginning,
the arrival of Queen Elizabeth II was awesome. She parachuted off a helicopter,
into the colossal stadium. Agent 007 went with her. She didn’t look scared at
all! In fact, during the whole ceremony, she looked really serious. Well, after
that, the past-to-present part began – from Shakespeare to Lord Voldemort! It
started with villagers working, and then smokestacks began to rise. They
announced the beginning of the industrial revolution. Then, they were replaced
by digital stuff.
After that, Tim
Bernes-Lee, maker of the World Wide Web, appeared. Next, rings of fire were
raised and finally made the five Olympic rings, high in the sky. Then, the
boring part began. All of the countries, from Afghanistan
to Zimbabwe
marched in to the stadium. Well, after that, it was balanced out by an awesome
dance! AWESOME!
This was amazing,
blazing, and everyone’s praising! I’m sure the competitions will be just as
exciting!
I love all the adjectives you put on this one... That was indeed a memorable opening ceremony. The Mr. Bean part was another favorite of mine besides the part of the queen arriving from sky with 007.
ReplyDeleteYou didn't mention you fell into sleep during the countries marching part? :)

Did you actually go to London to watch the opening Ceremony? It sounds great; I missed on television, but from your description, I felt like i was there!!! By the way, why didn't you stay for the entire Games?

DeleteWell, the queen didn't actually parachute down. It was probably a substitute, because she came out of the audience later. Becasue if something heppened..... Well, it would be a catastrophe.
