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,

Possible answer: 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.
