My essay four is about the fake singing in the opening ceremony of the 29th Olympic Games in China. My argument is that although the motives to put on a fake singing in front of the world is reasonable, the fake singing itself is totally wrong . It is not necessary, damages the image of China, hurts these two girls, and misleads the younger generation.
I will make a powerpoint to turn my argument essay into a slide show of many pictures and a video clip as visual appeals. Pictures are easier to read than words. Video clip itself interprets the event. I will also include several different pieces of background music, which will serve as sound appeals to boost the emotions. My audience will be my classmates as well as people all over the world.
The powerpoint will run in the same order as my essay do. I have already found plenty of pictures of the snowstorm, the Olympic torch relays in Paris and London, the Sichuan Earthquake I discussed in the first paragraphs of my essay. These pictures can help to demonstrate the suffers we Chinese encountered before the Olympic. Then I will exhibit around 20 pictures of the opening ceremony. Since most of my classmates missed that ceremony, these pictures will be powerful illustrations about this wonderful show. Then I will display a part of a video clip of that song "Ode to the motherland," sang by Lin, when the national flag and kids in different ethnic costumes, representing 56 different ethnic groups in China, entering the Birds Nest Stadium. This clip will be less than two minutes. After this clip, I will reveal the singing is fake and will show pictures of the real singer. To make my point more clearly, I will put the close-up pictures of Lin and Yang together. I will emphasis that Lin epitomizes the Chinese ideal of feminine beauty, while Yang is not as beautiful. That is the reason I can understand the organizers, who chose lip-syncing instead of letting Yang singing on stage. However, I will explain that the lip-syncing is totally wrong in this situation with pictures. I already find a couple of pictures about the fake items around in China and the computer made footprint-shaped fireworks. I need to look for more pictures to make my point.
In the end, I will show some pictures of the beautiful natural sceneries and famous historical sites in China, such as the Great Wall. Most of my classmates haven't been to China, and there are many negative news about China around in the U.S. I want to use these pictures to establish a fresh and positive image of China. As a girl who spent the first twenty years of life in China, I always take pride in my motherland especially its long civilization and culture. China has been the center of the world for thousands of years. Many centuries ago, people from everywhere came to China to study the most advanced technology, such as Marco Polo. After the Opium War of 1840 China was reduced to the status of a semi-colonial, semi-feudal society, and the nation was known as "the sick man of East Asia" for many years. If China is still the best country in the world, I won't need to leave everything I love so much behind to come to the U.S. alone to study business. I wish I could do my part to make my country better. So I point this issue out, although some of my friends criticized me for pointing the finger at my own country. I, maybe love China too much, hope to make someone aware of that faking image won't help our country. To offer the better education to the children, the better social welfare to the poor, the cheaper medical care to all, and to improve the current government system should be the right way to develop our long-sleeping country. I do not want to wait too long a time to throw the label of China as a fake country to the dustbin of history.
