Do you like Olympic games? The opening ceremony of Olympic Games Rio 2016 will be on this Saturday 6 of August. I think many people here will sit in front of the TV to watch it. I just read a news about the prizes for the Olympic winners by the government. Our government will pay 1 million for the gold medal winners. And I found that Singapore will pay more than 3 million to the gold medal winners. But, some of the countries will not pay them. They think to use the money in develop their sports. What do you think?

It's of great honor to represent one's country. I think that's enough privilege.

Yes. You are right. If the prize is too big, the players will be played for the money not for the country. I think it is not good.

Though, India can not pay them highly, they will be provided with a good job. a good house to live in along with some agriculture land.

Great! I think paying for their living expenses is enough. It is not good to let them be a millionaire for just a gold medal.

We are lucky to have that prize but in some countries they never consider it.

I think a good prize can encourage the players. But, the prize now is too big in our country and I don't agree of it.
