Miga’s favourite food is wild salmon, salmon jerky, BC rolls, smoked salmon etc. Her dream is to land a corked 720 half – pipe, and finally her favourite colour is forest green. She is a small sea bear that lives on Vancouver Island. She is part Kermode bear, a rare white bear, but only lives in BC. Miga is very adventurous. Surfing is her favourite summer sport, and snowboarding is her favourite winter sport. That’s why I think Miga is amazing!!!!

  8. Conclusion I am really looking forward to seeing the athletes!! The athletes need to work hard for the Olympics. They also need to know what to do for the sport, and finally, they need to stay on the track and pay attention on what they are doing. I know all of this because, I know I need to study for tests, I need to know the answers and not to be silly while I take the test. Also I need to read the whole sentence. That is why I am looking forward to seeing the athletes, because they will have a great performance!!
