范文：
A first glace at this picture gives us the impression that it is a common running competition. Yet, a more careful survey reveals that the participants of the race come from different countries, as is indicated by their skin colors. The banner behind further tells us that the event was held jointly by Chinese and American students on the symbolic site of the Great Wall.
Anyone who sees this picture would be convinced that such an activity must generate international friendship among the young. As is commonly known, sports usually serve the role of “ambassador” among nations, greatly promoting mutual understanding and communication between different peoples. Take the Sino-U.S. relation as an example, against the background of the Cold War in the 1970s, the cold relation between the two countries was firstly warmed up not by politicians but ping-pong players from both countries. Moreover, the Olympic Games is also endeavoring to achieve the ultimate goal of uniting the world’s citizens by encouraging them to compete fairly in the domain of sports.
To briefly conclude, sport activities and competitions not only bring forth personal enjoyment and friendship among common people, but more importantly, beneficial exchanges across countries, and for that matter, world peace and prosperity. In particular, they can also help shape a more sound relationship among future generations.
译文：
第一眼看到这幅图给我们的印象是这是一场普通的跑步比赛。但是，仔细观察该图我们会发现跑步者肤色不同，他们应该是来自不同的国家。图上的横幅进一步告诉我们这是一场中美学生在具有象征意义的中国长城上举办的一场活动。
任何看过这幅图画的人们都会相信这样的一场活动一定会促成年轻人之间的国际友谊。众所周知，运动一般都扮演了国家之间的“大使”这一角色，能够巨大地促进不同民族之间的互相理解和交流。以中美关系为例，在20世纪70年代冷战的大背景下，两国关系不是由政治家而是两国的乒乓球运动员们改善的。此外，奥林匹克运动会也是努力通过鼓励世界人民通过体育的公平竞争来达到团结人们的最终目的的。
简单的总结来说，体育活动和竞赛不仅可以带来个人的享受和民间友谊，更重要的是还可以带来跨国间的有益交流，以及世界和和平和繁荣，特别是还可以帮助在下一代之间形成更加健康的关系。
