The activity aims to prepare for the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games by creating a better language learning environment, and more importantly, enhancing the nation's international image.

Organized by China Daily Website, the activity is supported by the Cultural and Education Section of the British Council and the Public Affairs Section of the Canadian Embassy. China's famous universities will participate as well, such as the University of International Business and Economics, Shanghai International Studies University, Xi'an International Studies University, and Guangdong University of Foreign Studies.

Students of a Beijing junior high school found 91 mistakes on bilingual signs in the Wangfujing and Xidan areas (two of Beijing's most prosperous areas) last year.

Through this activity, athletes from all over world will find all the English signposts are written in clear and standard English when they arrive in Beijing for the 2008 Games.

Also, the organizer also hopes the entire society will pay more attention to this problem, find the mistakes, correct them, and make a real international Beijing for the Olympic Games!
