Passage 1

The Shanghai World Expo 2010 has left me a very deep impression. It is really a welcome celebration. The theme of the Expo is "Better city, Better Life".
    The expo first and foremost offers a unique window onto the world’s diversity. From one pavilion to the next, we have discovered the cultures of different cities.
    We can also see how each city is managing the formidable challenge of reserving the past, planning the future and creating the conditions for living together.
    Globalization has brought us closer together and we will work together to make cities work for everyone. They must be places where the benefits of education, culture, science and information are accessible to all.
