Answer

Dear Tom,

In your last e-mail, you showed a great interest in our National Stadium —the Bird’s Nest. Now I’d like to introduce it to you.

The Bird’s Nest, which looks just like a bird’s nest made of tree branches and can hold about 90,000 spectators, is located in the north of Beijing and covers an area of 58,000 square meters. Its construction was started in December, 2003 and was completed in 2007. During the Olympic Games, we will host the track and field events as well as soccer matches there and after the Games it will be used for large events.

The Bird’s Nest is thought highly of by many people. Kofi Annan gave the thumbs-up to its design and said that it would be a wonder in architecture in the history of the global Games.

I hope that my introduction will satisfy you.

Yours faithfully,

Li Ming
