The olympics are an important event because athletes het to show off their skills and they have a chance to get a good sponsor. I like the NBA all star game the most and think it is the most entertaining event because it is the most fun to watch in my book and I love to watch Kobe vs. LeBron. I would watch it anyday of the week. I think the most hardest event to prepare for is diving because you need to find the right event to beat your opponets and find the perfect finishing touch dive to take home the gold. The event that I think that would be the most easy to prepare for is cricket because its not technically a sport and you don't really need a strategy even though you're facing some of the best cricket players in the world.

The Olympics is an important event because it lets countries get closer by competing and also gives chances to peoples of gold metals. The event I like most in the winter olympics is figure skating because it is graceful and beautiful. I think the most difficult event to prepare for is snowboarding beacause you have to have very good tricks. I think the easiest to prepare for is skating is because you all ready know how to skate.

The Olympics is an important event because it brings all the countries together. My favorite winter Olympics is the figure skating because it is very fun to see all the diffrent kinds of skaters. I think the most difficult
event ot perpare fpr is the skating because you have to make up a performance that is really graceful and beautiful. I think the evemt that is the easiest to perpare for is the snowboarding because they don't have to make up a performance and they just have to practice their tricks.

The Winter Olympics are important because athletes get to show that they're the best at what they do. I like snowboarding the best because the snowboarders do cool tricks in the air. I also think Shaun White is cool. I think snowboarding would be the hardest to prepare for because practicing is hard and you have to take risks of getting injured by landing badly after you try to do a trick. I think the easiest event to prepare for is skiing because all you have to do is keep your balance and ride down a hill. I am not saying it is easy I am saying it is the easiest.

The olympics are important because a lot of people watch them and enjoy them. My favorite sport is snow boarding. The most hard event would be snow boarding because they have to prepare to try to avoid all the obstacles. The easiest sport to prepare for would be the ice skating. I think this because once you've mastered it, it is ver easy to do. I love the winter olyimpics.

Dear class,
I think that the Olympics are important because I like to see the athletes show off their talent. I like the snowboarding the most because I like to see all the snowboarders do all the cool tricks. I think that the hardest thing in the Olympics is the speed ice skating, Because I think that it is hard to hear the crowd scream and try to keep your self going on silk ice. I think that the easiest event to prepare for is the skiing. Because all you have to do is to move in to the plastic poles.

The olympics is an important event because you can compete in a sport you love.

I like the swiming oylmpics because I love water and speed.

I think the most difficult olympic sport to prepare for is ice skating because you can mess up at any time.

I think the easiest sport to prepare for is the snow boarding because you dont have to do rutines.

The olympics are important because you get to play games and get outside. It is a good way to exercise. My favorite olympics event is snowboarding because I like how you have to stay on the board and go down a big hill. I think it would be difficult to prepare for the toggle races. They have to use many muscles to steer the toggle sled and they have to learn how to balance so they don't fall off.
The easiest to prepare for I think would be snowboarding.All you have to do is get your snowsuit on and grab a board and go down a hill. Sounds like fun not work to me. Joey2

I think the olympics aer important because you can have fun doing it. My favorite event is the skiing because its fun to do. The most difficult event to prepare for is ice skating because the blade could break and it could be dangerous. The easiest to prepare for would be snowboarding because you get on and go.
