Para 1. What impressed the writer first about San Francisco
Third Reading for thinking
Today was my first day back in San Francisco after camping in the Redwood Forest and visiting the wine country of Napa Valley. I have to admit that it definitely feels good to be back in the city again. And what a city—a city that was able to rebuild itself after the earthquake that occurred in 1906. There are so many beautiful old buildings—many siting on top of big hills, offering great views of the city, the ocean, and the Golden Gate Bridge.

Para.2
My hotel is near downtown,in the Mission District,one of the oldest parts of the city. Many of the people living here are from Mexico or Central America. This district used to be a poor area of town,but is now a centre for art,music,and food. In fact,an art movement called the“Mission School”started here. It’s influenced by graffiti art and comic art. I walked around looking at the street art for a few hours. It was quite modern and lively. Afterwards,I ate some delicious Mexican-Chinese noodles from a food truck. A real mix of cultures here!

The beauty of the world

“When these immigrants left their countries, they carried a bit of home in their hearts, and built a new home here.”
1. What does each “home” mean
The first “home” means “former country's customs and cultures, their spirits...”
The second “home” means “they accept new cultures and customs, and also mix the old ones with the new ones”.
If you leave China one day, don’t forget to carry a bit of home in your heart.

Classify and organise information
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.
