O leem pee ka - My first article

At a press conference yesterday, three big managers of the 2008 Beijing Olympics urged the Chinese populace to exhibit their civilized ways by following the “Six Dos and Don’ts” in Olympic host etiquette in the upcoming year before the big Games.
A city-wide competition will be held in an effort to promote understanding of and participation in the Olympic Games. Each district will self-select a celebrity or “superstar” who best exemplifies Chinese respectability and sophistication in accordance to the “Six Dos and Don’ts”. This list includes such advice as “Observe good hygiene standards; don’t spit or litter everywhere” and “Be civilized in the sports arena; don’t scold outright”. Other rules urge citizens to be courteous when driving and conversing, generous with the helpless, and considerate when displaying belongings on balconies.
A photo competition is also being held to promote civilian participation in the upcoming Olympics. Photos that capture examples of commendable civility should be sent to www.beijingto2008.com to be entered in the competition.
