Perhaps the most extraordinary building of the nineteenth century was the Crystal Palace, which was built in Hyde Park for the Great Exhibition of 1851. The Crystal Palace was different from all other buildings in the world, for it was made of iron and glass. It was one of the biggest buildings of all time and a lot of people from many countries came to see it. A great many goods were sent to the exhibition from various parts of the world. There was also a great deal of machinery on display. The most wonderful piece of machinery on show was Nasmyth's steam hammer. Though in those days, traveling was not as easy as it is today, steam boats carried thousands of visitors across the Channel from Europe. On arriving in England, they were taken to the Crystal Palace by train. There were six million visitors in all, and the profits from the exhibition were used to build museums and colleges. Later, the Crystal Palace was moved to South London. It remained one of the most famous buildings in the world until it was burnt down in 1936.

十九世纪最非凡的建筑，也许就是为1851年世界博览会在海德公园修建的水晶宫。它与世界上其他建筑都不同，因为整座建筑由铁和玻璃构成。 它是有史以来最大的建筑之一，许多国家的游客都来参观。 世界各地运来大量商品参展，还有许多机器。其中最精彩的，是内史密斯的蒸汽锤。 那时旅行远不如今天方便，可蒸汽船仍把成千上万的欧洲游客送过海峡。抵达英国后，他们再乘火车前往水晶宫。 参观者总计六百万人，展览赚到的钱用来修建了博物馆和学院。 后来，水晶宫搬到伦敦南部。直到1936年被大火烧毁，它一直是世界上最著名的建筑之一。
学完这一课
先沿这条线复述《水晶宫》：与众不同的水晶宫 → 规模庞大，吸引各国游客 → 展品来自世界各地 → 渡海再乘火车参观 → 参观收入投入教育文化 → 迁址后毁于大火。再借一个结构讲自己的事：先用短句介绍本课一个对象，再用关系从句补上识别它的重要细节。
