There will be more mixed-gender events at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. They will be in archery, sailing, triathlon and other sports. There will be mixed relays in athletics and swimming. A swimming champion said: “It’s something that would make things a little bit more fun…[Mixed events] are great to watch.”

There will also be more urban sports and more women in Tokyo. Not everyone wants urban sports, like skateboarding, 3-on-3 basketball, and BMX freestyle. These are to get more young people interested in the Games. There will be fewer athletes for traditional events like weightlifting and wrestling.

Laura is at the airport. She waits for her flight. Her flight is to Berlin, and it is 4 hours away. Laura walks around the airport and looks at the shops. She has a nice time.

After an hour she wants to visit the bathroom. She searches for it, but she doesn’t find it.

“Where is the bathroom?” she asks herself.

She looks and looks but she can’t find it. She starts asking people where it is.

Laura: “Excuse me sir, could you please tell me where is the bathroom?”

Man: “You mean the restroom, right?”

Laura: “No, I mean the bathroom.”

Man: “Well, the restroom is over there.” He says and walks away.

Laura doesn’t understand. She asks a lady: “Excuse me madam, could you please tell me where is the bathroom?”

“The restroom is over there,” the lady answers and walks away.

Laura is confused. “What’s their problem? I need to use the bathroom and they send me to rest?! I don’t need a restroom, I need the bathroom!”

After a while Laura gives up. She feels tired of all this walking and asking. She decides that maybe they are all right and she does need to rest.

She walks to the restroom. Now she is surprised. She realizes the restroom is actually the name for a public bathroom!
