Volunteers lend credit to expo

THE FIRST CHINA INTERNATIONAL IMPORT EXPO, which was held in Shanghai, concluded on Saturday. During the expo, more than 5,000 volunteers did a good job promoting China's image. Thepaper.cn comments:

The main pavilion of the expo was known as the "four-leaf clover", and the volunteers were called small leaves, providing services ranging from information services to checking ID cards.

That's a giant progress compared with the Shanghai World Expo in 2010, in which the volunteers mainly acted as guides. This time, only one-third of the volunteers were guides, with the others doing professional duties such as being liaison officers, providing services at media centers or assisting other professionals with their work.
