Help Please

Can some one tell me how to say the following sentances "I hope to return to Beijing in 2008 to see the Olympic games, until then I hope to welcome you in Australia." " I'll be meeting up with my an Australian class mate in Guang zhou and we'll be doing some sight seeing.

我來幫你。嘿嘿。

看下面：

“我希望能在2008年回北京看奧運，到那時我也希望能在澳大利亞歡迎你。”(very strange logic? )

“我將在廣州去會一個我的澳大利亞同學，然後一塊去觀光旅遊。”

“我希望能在2008年回北京看奧運，在那之前我也希望能在澳大利亞歡迎你。

“我將在廣州去會一個我的澳大利亞同學，然後一塊去觀光旅遊。”

我将去广州会我澳大利亚的一个同学，然后一块去观光旅游。

我将去广州会我的一个澳大利亚的同学，然后一块去观光旅游。

is these better? or wich one is better? I am messed up too!

It depends on which part of the sentence you want to emphasize.

我将去广州会我澳大利亚的一个同学。emphasize this classmate whom I 'll meet with is from Australia,is a foreigner. distinguishs from common classmate we'll often refer to.

我将去广州会我的一个澳大利亚的同学。emphasize I'll meet with a classmate, not my parent, my girl friend.

generally speaking, 我将去广州会我的一个澳大利亚的同学。is common used by Chinese.
