Did you visit the Shanghai World Expo last summer? What impressed (给……留下印象)  you? 21st Century Kids invites four kids to talk about their experiences. They are back from the Expo. What did they bring us? Let’s see what they have to say.

I went to the SAIC-GM Pavilion (上汽集团通用汽车馆). I found my dream car there. It is a green car. Its name is “Leaf”. Chinese engineers made the car. Its roof is in the shape of a leaf. The roof takes in CO₂ and changes it into electricity for the car.

The Japan Pavilion is full of high technology. The “Wonder Camera” is cool. It can find a smiling face in a crowd. When you’re smiling, it takes a photo of you. I want to invent something like that in the future.

My favorite pavilion is the Germany Pavilion. I watched the Energy Source show. Visitors made a ball swing back and forth (来回摇摆) by using only their voices. It’s amazing! Although we had waited for quite a long time before we entered the hall, I think it is well worth seeing with your own eyes.

I like painting, so my parents took me to the France Pavilion to see the famous paintings. But the French cooks caught my eye. I saw them cook. My mom told me that they are some of the best cooks in the world. The dish they cooked looked like a painting. So, being a cook is my second dream job.

Every child has his own dream．Every child hopes to be an adult．However, is it truly like what they imagine? As a boy who lives in modem times and in a modern city，I feel greater pressure on me with the city’s development．Although we seldom worry about money, we still have a lot of others such as competitions among classmates and expectations from parents．These experiences are very helpful to our future．But in fact，they really give me a lot of pressure．I still clearly remembered the happiness of my childhood．Unluckily，we had to face the fact with time passing by．We began to feel this invisible(无形的)pressure come upon us．We get up before sunrise and return after sunset．we work and study like an adult，even harder．What we do is to get an excellent mark．Oh，growing up is completely boring．We must try to find happiness while growing up．I think the friendship among our friends，the support from our parents and the encouragement from our teachers can help us．Why not enjoy the pleasure of growing up and its delicious taste?
