You know how excited and happy we were when we knew the news that China got the 2008 Olympics. I can’t forget the moment for ever .

At that moment , I was watching TV with my family at home .We stared at the TV screen with silence . We held our breath waiting the result .All the people on TV also waited nervously .When ‘China ’came to our ears we all stood up 、hugged and cheered up “yeah …”. We shouted and shouted : “yeah , we win ,we win ! China win !” Very exciting ! Isaw so many people on the TV , they were so excited that I was moved . Some of them were crying when they heard the news , some of them jumped to the chairs and desks, they cheered 、shouted and sang . And some of them stood on their cars. They were dancing on the top of the cars when they heard the exciting news .Thousands and thousands of colorful balloons were flying in the sky . In the street , it’s full of crowed people , they released their happy 、strong emotion completely , they ran and shouted , nobody kept traffic regulations .They were too happy . Yes , all Chinese people were too happy . Firework 、fire crackers 、national flags and exciting 、joyous music …oh , really very very happy . We couldn’t control our emotion at the moment . Tha’s fantastic feeling . I didn’t remember how could I fall asleep at that night .
