Look at the picture on page 25 and answer the questions.
I can see some restaurants and stores. The signs are in Chinese and English. There is a lamp post decorated with dragons, and also lots of red lanterns. It seems like the photo was taken at night on a busy street in Chinatown.
What can you see in the photo? How would you describe it?
The photo was probably taken in the US because a sign says “California”. Many of the signs and decorations look Chinese, so it’s probably a Chinatown.
Where do you think this photo was taken?
Chinatown is a district within a larger city which hosts a significant Chinese population. Many major cities around the world have a Chinatown, including New York, London, and San Francisco. These areas tend to have largely Chinese-focused stores, signs, and services, which makes some of them popular tourist destinations for those hoping to experience another culture.
The beauty of the world lies in the diversity of its people.
