Introduction

The Olympic Committee changed the places for the 2030 Winter Games in France.

奧委會更改了在法國舉行的2030年冬季運動會場地。

Main Body

Some sports will move from Nice to Lyon. The leaders in Nice did not want ice sports in their football stadium. Now, ice hockey and skating will happen in Lyon. This plan saves money.

部分運動項目將從尼斯移至里昂。尼斯的領導者不希望在他們的足球場舉行冰上運動。現在,冰球和溜冰將在里昂舉行。這個計劃可以節省資金。

France does not have a good place for speed skating. So, the games will use a stadium in the Netherlands. This stadium is very famous and good.

Courchevel and Val d’Isère will host the Alpine skiing events. These places are ready for the athletes.

庫爾舍夫和瓦勒迪澤爾將舉辦高山滑雪賽事。這些地方已經為運動員準備就緒。

Conclusion

Lyon will have the ice sports and the Netherlands will have speed skating.

里昂將舉辦冰上運動,而荷蘭將舉辦速度滑冰。

Vocabulary Learning

🌍 Where things happen

In this story, we see a pattern: Place + Action.

  • Nice \rightarrow football stadium
  • Lyon \rightarrow ice hockey and skating
  • Netherlands \rightarrow speed skating
  • Courchevel \rightarrow Alpine skiing

💡 Quick Grammar: "Will"

When we talk about the future (like the 2030 Games), we use will + verb.

  • Some sports will move...
  • Ice hockey will happen...
  • The games will use...

Rule: Just put "will" before the action word. It is the same for everyone (I will, you will, they will).
