My hometown is Shanghai. I was born and grew up there.
Shanghai is a big and modern city, located in middle of China’s east coastline. It occupies a total area of 6,341 sq.km.(of which Pudong new Area occupies 523 sq.km.),with a total resident population of 20 million ( including a floating population of more than 3 million), and also is a gate to the Yangtze River delta.
Shanghai has a pleasant climate, with four distinct seasons. The average temperature is around 18°C . It is an open city on the coast and famous historical and cultural city, and is the largest economic and trade center, a comprehensive industrial base and the leading port in China. Shanghai is well known in the world not only for its prosperous cosmopolitan feature but also for its rich humanistic resources. In recent years, a number of modern buildings have been added to the city, such as the Oriental Pearl TV Tower, Shanghai Museum, Shanghai Library, Shanghai Stadium, Shanghai Grand Theatre, Shanghai Circus City, Shanghai City-Planning Exhibition Hall and Jin Mao Tower, Shanghai Science & Technology Museum. They have become new scenic sights in Shanghai.
Colorful festivities, like Shanghai Tourism Festival and Shanghai China International Art Festival, have attracted and increasing number of tourists from home and overseas. Since Shanghai succeeded in winning the bid for the sponsorship of world Expo 2010, all sectors of preparation work have started and are in progress.
The people of Shanghai are warm and friendly to welcome visitors from home and overseas.

You should just write a short report about Shanghai and put a link to this site:

Make a list of facts about Shanghai while you do your research and then write your report from your list instead of directly from the websites. It will help you create an original piece of writing and you will be thinking about sentence structure, grammar and vocabulary. Something similar to the assessment we did in class last Tuesday.
