Have you got what it takes?

As you all know, in two years' time, that is, in the year 2012, London is going to host the next summer Olympic Games. And they need volunteers to work there. So...


HAVE YOU GOT WHAT IT TAKES?


If you are interested in working as a volunteer in the Olympic Games in London, you have to follow three basic steps:


STEP 1 - Click here and watch the video. Don't worry if you don't understand everything. You can watch the video and read the transcript if you click here.

STEP 2 - Registration: Once you have seen the video, agree on the terms (bottom of the page, to the left), click on ‘Apply now’ (bottom of the page, to the right) to register. You’ll need your own email address and must make sure no one else uses it for their own registration. You’ll also need to create a password. This cannot contain the words 'Olympic' or 'London2012'.

STEP 3 - Application: This will take 30–40 minutes. If you don’t want to finish it all at once, you can click ‘Sign out’ to save what you’ve done so far and return to it later.


IMPORTANT! REMEMBER THAT YOU HAVE UNTIL THE 27 OCTOBER TO APPLY!

And now that we are talking about the Olympic games, how many words do you know for Olympic sports? Click on the picture below, and see how many you know. What's your favourite sport? Why don't you write a comment telling what your favourite sport is, and why?

I did it ¡ I'm registered as a voluntier for the Olympic Games in London.

One of my favorite sports is tennis and hope to be there to enjoy it, by myself.

So I have to practice and improve my English.

A couple of things, as always:
