Olympic Opening Ceremony

Today I was going to watch Olympic opening Ceremony on TV at night. I was so excited. I always wanted to stay up late. I ate my dinner as fast as I could. However, there was still time. It was going to be at 8:00. So I just went to sit with my dad watching TV. Then my sister came. It was boring to watch TV. After a while I looked at the clock again, it was almost time. So I went back to sit down. Then after a few minutes, it started. I was happy and excited.

First there were people with drums. But I thought this wasn’t as exciting as I thought it was. But just then I saw them take sticks out. I thought they would used that to hit the drums. They did. Then they turned off the lights. The sticks glowed in the dark. It was so cool. It wasn’t boring to me anymore. The sticks were red and bright, it was fun watching.

Now it was people selling things on TV like commercial. But then it went back to Olympics Opening Ceremony. They had a paper lying on the ground, at first I didn’t know what it was for. Then people came and started dancing. Their hands had mittens on it. They could draw. They danced while they drew it. It was amazing how they did it. They were drawing lines and I was excited to see what they would draw. So I waited. But wait long until they were done. Then I saw they drew mountains with a sun. It looked like one of the paintings of nature. It was wonderful.

Then my mom said they would light the torch. I didn’t know what she meant but I wanted to wait and see. Then there was somebody holding a torch with fire on it. Then he started running. I didn’t get it. Then I saw another person with a torch, but it didn’t have fire on it. Then the first person put the torch together. They both had fire now. Now they kept doing it. Then after the last person stopped, I looked around for the torch but I didn’t see it. Then I saw him get lifted up in the air by a string. And then he started running in the air. He looked like he was running on the ground. I wondered when he was going to stop. He walked around the stadium called bird’s nest and he got to a torch. The torch was higher than him and I didn’t know how he could get up. So I watched closely. He put the fire on the side of the torch and the fire went up. It looked stunning. I was amazed the fire wouldn’t die.

After the torch was lit, the opening ceremony ended. I think it was gorgeous how they did all these things. I was very happy but also very tired. Mom and I helped each other upstairs to settle in our nice comfy bed for a good night of sleep.
