The first World Expo was held in London on 1 May 1851.At that time,Britain was the greatest power in the world.To display the power and pride of the country,the British government built a 1,700 feet long and 100 feet high "Crystal Pa lace" in Hyde Park with 4,500 tons of steel and 300,000 blocks of glass (later de stroyed in the Second World War).Queen Victoria invited ten countries to exhibit products inside this "Palace".A total of 6.3 million people attended the Expo throughout the 160 days of its duration.
There are two types of World Expo,the "Comprehensive World Expo" and the "Special World Expo".Over the past 50 World Expos,most have been Comprehensive.The products exhibited at Comprehensive World Expos covered items of every nature.On the free sites provided by the host country,the exhibitors built Expo halls at their own expense to display their achievements in science,technology,culture,economy and society.Comprehensive World Expos are held once every five years.The products exhibited at Special World Expos are specialised.
Many of modern society' s concepts have been inspired by World Expos,such as department stores as well as new tourism ideas such as pleasure grounds,holiday villages and entertainment clubs.The World Expo differs from trade promotion and investment displays and provides an opportunity for the host to display social,economic and cultural achievements and development prospects.Since the first World Expo was held in Britain,the international metropolises all crave the honour of hosting the World Expo.Paris,France,has hosted the World Expo six times in 1855,1867,1878,1889,1900 and 1937.The famous Eiffel Tower was constructed for the 1889 Paris World Expo and it remains a symbol of France and Paris.
The World Expo has a long history but it has never been held in Asia.So the 2010 World Expo is an honor for all of the Asians.our government has promised that it will be the best one.And Shanghai,as a host city,will have more chances to develop quickly.As a student in Shanghai,I should learn English well so that I can be a volunteer in the Expo to help foreigners know more about Shanghai.
