Shanghai was a small town three hundred years ago. There were only a few
thousand people living here. Many of them were fishermen and farmers.
300年前,上海只是个小镇,只有几千人居住在这里,其中很多人是渔民和农民。
Today, Shanghai is becoming an international city. Many tall building have
been built. Some bridges have been put up over the Huangpu River. More and more
foreigners come to Shanghai for a visit every day.
Shanghai has already won the bid for holding the World Expo 2010. I think
the environment will be better and better and the city will be more and more
beautiful.
