While the cashier is preparing, the sales staff are doing the final preparations before opening at the counter they are responsible for. Some are wiping the glass of the counter, some are making final adjustments to the placement of goods to achieve the most beautiful effect, and some are exchanging sales experience and skills with the store manager, because everyone knows how important today is and the official start of volunteer work in the central area. As the saying goes: A good start is half the success, so everyone is busy and happy. You can see everyone's busy but happy figures everywhere in the super store. After everyone was basically ready, Manager Hu also made the final mobilization for the sales staff. She emphasized the importance of sales work and pointed out the key role of sales staff's attitude and enthusiasm in the sales process. She hoped that every volunteer could remember their responsibilities and devote themselves to sales work. Everyone listened carefully to Manager Hu's speech with a smile, and nodded silently, determined to do their job well.

Morning10At 30:30, the super store officially opened, and customers began to enter the store continuously. Seeing the dazzling array of products, hearing the sales staff's detailed explanations about the products, and receiving such warm and thoughtful service, the guests were all happy to choose their favorites from this ocean of Olympic products. Sometimes they stop to watch in front of the Chinese classical porcelain counter, and sometimes they are attracted by the clothing and daily necessities with Olympic elements. Many foreign friends come to the store to shop. This is a good opportunity for us to show China to foreign friends. During the communication process, the sales staff not only accumulated sales experience and practiced speaking English, but many customers enthusiastically gave the sales staff commemorative medals and took photos as souvenirs. This was also an unexpected surprise in volunteer work. After selecting the product they like, the customer comes to the cashier to pay. The cashier skillfully scans the code, collects money, gives change, and puts the customer's product into bags. The movements are precise and neat, making him look like a professional cashier with a lot of work experience.

General Manager Wang of China Sports Group also came to inspect the work at each counter in the store, chatted cordially with the sales staff, inquired about the sales situation, and understood the sales trends of the store. He asked everyone to pay attention to some problems that may arise during the work, and asked the volunteers if they had any problems or difficulties during the work.

Afternoon3At around 0:00, the number of guests gradually increased. Spectators watching the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games entered the central area one after another. Many friends walked into the super store to select Olympic products.5A large number of customers came in around 10:00, and all counters were full of customers. There was even a rush to buy at some counters. The volunteers also began their busiest period. Some people help customers choose clothing sizes to try on, and some help customers choose commemorative medals—these are also the best-selling products.

During the work, the leading teachers Miao Liqing and Lei Liang came to the store for inspection, communicated cordially with the volunteers, and asked if everyone had any difficulties or needs. The w88 casino will try its best to help everyone solve them, so that everyone can serve the Olympics without worries. Listening to the words of the leading teacher, the volunteers felt very at ease and warm.

Seeing that there are more and more customers and fewer and fewer products, the warehouse managers keep delivering and placing goods in the store. When the sales staff are a little too busy, the store patrol staff will also help with sales. Security personnel are constantly patrolling the store to ensure the safety of the store.

In order to ensure the safety of the Olympic Games opening ceremony, the super store began to clear the venue, and the intense and busy work was coming to an end. The workload today was very heavy, and the volunteers were also working very hard, but everyone said that although it was hard work, they felt a sense of satisfaction when they saw customers buying their favorite products under their introduction, and they saw the value of their labor. Many volunteers said that this was the first time they had such a work experience, and they experienced many things that they had never experienced before. For example, they saw that cashiers in supermarkets could check out money very quickly, but it was really difficult to do it themselves. Everyone has different experiences, and what they feel and learn from them is also different, but everyone is growing up while serving the Olympics.

The volunteers in the central area said: We are serving the Olympics, and we are so proud. No matter what position we are in, each of us is working hard to realize our commitment to the Olympics, and we are all working hard to create space for our own growth. Maybe we have shortcomings, but we will continue to learn, experience gains at work, feel growth in service, and practice our youth dreams.

Growth mindset

“Stumbling” Joy

Song Xiaolin

8month7日, Looking back now, I only remember jumping back to the dormitory from the gymnasium, changing out of the soaked clothes, and running out with my bag in one hand and my volunteer ID card in the other before I had time to tidy up my volunteer clothes. My mood was also ignored in this embarrassment. It wasn't until I ran into the subway that I calmed down in the air conditioner, and the excitement slowly surfaced.

I have always been looking forward to the super store and can’t wait for it. After wandering around, I came to this huge red house. The first feeling is that it’s really good! The products are neatly displayed and the volunteers have bright smiles. I jumped like a bird to the Adidas counter where I was responsible.

Everything is still fresh. Introducing products to customers, looking for clothes, communicating with foreign friends in English, and even becoming a "model" to help try on clothes. But despite being fresh, I was also nervous. I couldn’t fold clothes, couldn’t find the goods, and felt that my English was really “poor” when communicating with foreign friends. Often let customers look on and keep repeating "I`m sorry, please wait a moment”, and then he lay on the ground and turned around, thinking why he couldn't find it. There was even an embarrassing scene where someone asked me to look for clothes and my back was sweating. I felt so embarrassed. Fortunately, even though it was "stumbling", they were very satisfied when they left and said "Thank you!”

I saw my colleagues running around all the time, from being confused to working in an orderly manner, from being unfamiliar with the business to becoming more and more comfortable. Although we are not professional enough, we are enthusiastic, sincere, and we study hard. We are making "stumbling" progress and experiencing the sweet joy in our continuous progress.

Tomorrow is the opening day of the Olympic Games. Everything is ready and everything is going well. People all over Beijing and even across the country are looking forward to the great excitement that is coming. And I, as a small part of the team that can contribute to the Olympic Games, feel deeply proud and happy to participate in it.

Unforgettable Tonight

Cao Fang

2008Year8month8日, is a day that the Chinese people have been looking forward to for seven years, and it is a day that the Chinese nation has been looking forward to for a century.

Today, the central area officially welcomed the audience for the opening ceremony. Afternoon4At o'clock, after the opening ceremony audiences began to enter the central area one after another, the business of the super store gradually became booming. Customers from all over the world poured into the store to buy Olympic products. Naturally, we were very busy. We introduced the products to customers and guided them to check out. I really wish I had three heads and six arms to serve them.

紧张工作结束后，大家就开始期盼晚上的开幕式，我们没有回家看电视，而是选择留在中心区里近距离感受奥运。 We walked from the super store to the "Bird's Nest". There were not only the excited spectators preparing to watch the opening ceremony, but also the staff who still stuck to their posts, working silently to ensure the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games. Although they look calm on the outside, when the dazzling fireworks bloom over the central area, I believe they must be as excited and proud as us, but they are using their serious work to express their emotions. Tonight, what we feel is not only the shock of art and culture, but also the professionalism and dedication of the staff who stick to their posts.

When we saw the grand opening ceremony in front of the big screen, the sky above the central area was illuminated by fireworks, and every audience was shocked. The splendid culture of the Chinese nation was slowly revealed in front of the world as the scroll in the center of the stage opened. We know that tonight belongs to Beijing and China! Every audience, whether Chinese or foreign, was moved by this magnificent cultural scroll. Five thousand years of wind and rain have merged into magnificent pictures tonight, exuding breathtaking beauty and making us burst into tears. The glory and pride of being a son and daughter of China is written on the face of every Chinese. This night will be unforgettable for us!

The opening ceremony not only reflected China’s splendid culture and art, but also conveyed the Chinese nation’s pursuit of peace and friendship. The actors used ancient Chinese characters and modern Chinese to form the word "harmony", which not only shocked the audience with its spectacular image, but also allowed the audience to experience the Chinese nation's traditional thoughts of pursuing peace and harmony. The huge blue peace dove flew into the sky with dots of fluorescent lights in the center of the stage, bringing peace and friendship to the world and making the world feel the spirit of peace brought by the Olympics.

Another important event of the opening ceremony is the entrance of athletes. On both sides of the passage for athletes to enter, enthusiastic spectators wave and say hello to athletes from various countries. Especially when they see their country’s representative team appearing, the foreign guests in the audience will say hello and cheer to the athletes of their own country in their own country’s language. Tonight, all the spectators and athletes jointly wrote a beautiful chapter of harmony and friendship between people of all countries.

When we left the central area, we couldn't help but look back at the "Bird's Nest". Her magnificence and beauty were written into the history of China along with the Olympic Games. Facing the glorious history, how could we not be excited and proud?

The Chinese nation showed its five thousand years of splendid culture and art to the world tonight. Her grace, majesty, and peace and friendliness were all integrated into the perfect artistic performance at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games. It not only shocked the Chinese people and moved us, but also shocked the whole world!
