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.

Detailed reading
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.
Para 1. First impression
1. What impressed the writer first about San Francisco
2. What happened in 1906
What a city！

Para.2 the Mission District
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 center 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!
1. Where do the people living here come from
2. What’s the current condition of this district
3. What did the author eat there

Para.3 A visit to a local museum
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.
