We can better understand a passage by classifying or organising the information in it. Classifying means deciding the kind of information, e.g., dates,numbers, opinions. Organising means putting things in order, e.g., according to how old, how much, what kind. Sometimes it is a good idea to draw a diagram to organise the information in the passage.

Learn about a city that has diverse cultures
Discuss these questions in groups. (3mins)
Benefits: With the rapid development of technology and economy, the world is becoming smaller and smaller, and international cultural exchanges have become more and more frequent, which is inevitably improving our mutual understanding and friendship with other countries.
1. What are the benefits and challenges of cultural diversity
2. What should we do about cultural diversity
Challenges: People may have trouble communicating with or understanding each other.
As Chinese students, we should respect our own national culture and learn useful things from the cultures of different nations, which will enable us to make great progress in many ways. I believe a happy and bright future is awaiting us if we make every effort to promote cultural development both nationally and internationally.
What should we do about cultural diversity
Discuss these questions in groups. (3mins)
Chinese traditional culture accompanies our growth all the time, which has already deeply rooted in our daily lives. As a Chinese,What we ought to do is to transmit Chinese traditional culture from generation to generation.Only with these efforts can we ensure that Chinese traditional culture will lead to a brilliant future.
Please describe a city in China that has diverse cultures. What do you think brought about the cultural diversity
Sample：
One culturally diverse place that I have been to is Harbin, Heilongjiang Province. I went there last year with my family to see the Ice and Snow Festival, and I was amazed at how the culture is different to most other Chinese cities. There is a big Russian influence there, with beautiful Russian architecture and lots of interesting restaurants. I learnt that Harbin is called “the Oriental Moscow” and that many Russians settled there to help build the railway over 100 years ago.

The California Gold Rush in 1848 propelled the city into a period of rapid growth, increasing the population in one year from 1,000 to 25,000, and thus transforming it into the largest city on the West Coast at the time. After three-quarters of the city was destroyed by the 1906 earthquake and fire, but San Francisco was quickly rebuilt,.
The city has a population of about 800,000, covering an area of about 120 square kilometers. It is a modern industrialized city, the traffic is very convenient; mild climate, beautiful scenery all the year round are best suitable for tourism; famous tourist attractions are: Golden Gate Bridge, Bay Bridge, and Chinatown, etc.
