Wednesday, 21 June
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 sitting on top of big hills, offering great views of the city, the ocean, and the Golden Gate Bridge.
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!
In the afternoon, I headed to a local museum that showed the historical changes in California. I learnt that America got California from Mexico in 1848. In the same year, gold was discovered near San Francisco, which started a gold rush. Over 300,000 people came from all over the world to seek their fortune, and San Francisco quickly became a big city. Many Chinese arrived during this period. To earn a living, some opened up shops and restaurants in Chinatown. Many others found jobs on farms, joined the gold rush, or went to build the railway that joined California to the eastern region of the country. The museum did a really good job of showing how America was built by immigrants from different countries and cultures.When these immigrants left their countries, they carried a bit of home in their hearts, and built a new home here.
This evening, I went to Chinatown. There were so many good cafes and restaurants to choose from. I selected a Cantonese restaurant that served its food on beautiful china plates. What great food!
That's enough for today. Tomorrow evening, I'm going to a Jazz bar in the Richmond District. Can't wait!
Redwood Forest, Napa Valley, Mission District, a local museum and Chinatown are the places she has been to.
Richmond District is the place she plans to visit.

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.

Discuss these questions in groups.

One culturally diverse place that I have been to is Harbin, the capital city of 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 was 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.
2. What are the benefits and challenges of cultural diversity
Benefits:
Opportunities to experience different cultures and customs
personal growth (culture awareness, intercultural communication, cooperation)
More open-minded society
Exchange of innovative ideas
Challenges:
Misunderstanding across languages and cultures
