I would presume you are thinking of Auburn, but I'm not sure if the War Eagle is an official mascot.  The other mascot is the Tiger.

You can say the fll. for the first topic, \nThere are many types of Chinese food. Some are fried, some are cooked, and some are steamed. I like many different types of Chinese food. One of them is steamed dumpling. You put the dumplings in a pot with holes in the bottom of it. Then you put water in another pot with no holes. After that, you put the dumpling pot on top of the pot filled with water. Last, you cook it. In China, the steamed dumplings have a special juice in it. Another type of food that I like is fried pancake. My parents make it by putting the pancake in a frying pan that¹s covered with oil. Then they let it cook. I also like to eat won tons. They are cooked in soup. A won ton is just like a dumpling but it is eaten with soup. Another type of dumpling is called boiled dumpling. Chinese people dip it in vinegar then eat it. To make it, just fill a pot with water and start boiling it. Next, put the dumplings in. Then, just let it cook. I also learned to write the names for the foods.\n \n\nThose are my favorite Chinese foods. I hope you like them too!\n\nAnd for the next topic:\nThe 2008 Summer Olympics, officially known as the Games of the XXIX Olympiad, will be held in Beijing, China from August 8, 2008 to August 24, 2008, with the opening ceremony to take place at 8 p.m. on August 8, 2008 (08-08-08; the number 8 is associated with prosperity in Chinese culture). Some events, like beach volleyball, sailing, and open water swimming, will be held in the coastal city of Qingdao.\n\nOn July 8, 2005, the International Olympic Committee announced that Hong Kong will hold the equestrian events at the site of the Hong Kong Sports Institute in Fo Tan, Sha Tin. The facilities of the Sports Institute may be moved to Wu Kai Sha. This will be the second time the same season of Olympic Games has been hosted by two National Olympic Committees. (A similar arrangement was in place between Melbourne, Australia, and Stockholm, Sweden, for the 1956 Summer Olympics).\nTHESE POINTS WOULD BE EASY FOR U.\nWISH U ALL THE BEST.
