An unforgettable experience
In our lives, there are always some unforgettable experiences. These experiences are often along with our growth.
As we know, Shanghai hosted the 2010 World Expo. The World Expo has a long history, but it has never been held in China before. Therefore, I was very excited to know that the World Expo would be held in Shanghai, China.
When the Expo opened, I traveled to Shanghai to visit the Expo Garden immediately. The view of the Expo Garden was very nice. There were many different grand Pavilions within the Expo site that were set up by the participants. I visited the China Pavilion, America Pavilion, and Canada Pavilion and so on. I thought the China Pavilion was one of the greatest Pavilions. The things showed to us were wonderful, especially on the Qing Ming Riverside. They were very grand. I am so proud of my motherland, China.
My favorite toy is the mascot of Shanghai World Expo --- HaiBao. It is an elf like a Chinese character “Ren(人)” with aqua blue. The theme of Shanghai Expo was “Better city, better life.” This Expo showed that China has changed into a prosperous and harmonious country.
This experience is unforgettable, because it has let me see the culture around the world. I have learned a lot from it. I will never forget it.
