1 JoshuaGordon Iives and works in Hong Kong. We asked
him some questions about his life there.
Why did you come here? To
work for an English bank. I have
a two-year contraet.
What language do people
speak here? Most people speak
Cantonese,but over a third of
the population speak English.
This is beeause Hong Kongused
to be British - the handoverto
Chinawas in 1997.
What do you like about the city? It's an amazing,vibrant
plaee- a real mixture of sounds, sights and smells. l1's
here that 'East meetsWest'.
Can you explain how 'East meets West'? Well,you might
find a Taoist shrine in the middle of an ultra-modern
skyscraper. You can eat in local Chinese places or in
European restaurants.
Is there anything you dislike about Hong Kong? Well,the
divide betweenrich and poor is very noticeable here. Also,
It's crowded and quite dirty and the humidity in the
summer is unbearable.
And what about the people? The Chineseare usually
friendly but they can be rude on the metro in the rush
hour!
Can you tell us one last thing you especially love? The
restaurants are the best in the world!
Can you tell us one last thing you hate? The cost of
everything,and the obsession with mobile phones.
And any advice for visitors? Come in the spring or
autumn- the summer ís just too hot and humid.
2 Answer the questions.
1 Whydo manypeople speak English in Hong Kong?
2 Whenare the people not very friendly?
3 Why is it not a good idea to visit in the summer?
4 Whyis Hong Kong a unique city for Joshua?

Signs of Olympia
Olympic fever hits the globe every four years. For
the hosts, the Games are an opportunity to show
off their city to the world. We look at how the
Olympic logo can help.
Moscow1980
This emblem shows a running track rising into a
tower, typical of Moscow1s buildings. At the top is
a star, representing its former Communist status.
One of the main aims of the 1980Olympics was
to aid understanding and cooperation between
east and west. However, more than 60 countries
refused to compete because of the 1979Soviet
invasion of Afghanistan.
Barcelona 1992
The red and yellow of the leaping athlete reflect
the Catalan and Spanish f1ags,while the figure1s
head reminds us of the Mediterranean Sea. The
fine weather, fascinating museumsand galleries
and attractivebuildings and monumentsprovided
an ideal backdrop to the Gomes. The event helped
turn Barcelona into a major touristdestination.
Beijing 2008
This figure is both a running athlete, and the
Chinese symbol for jing (as in BeijingL meaning
capital. The design is clean, simple and echoes
traditional Chinese culture and handwriting. With
the fastestgrowing economy in the world and
money to invest in stunning new stadiums and
arenas, it was only time before this new-Iook
superpower took centre stage.
Athens2004
Athens has held the modem Games threetimesand
