Task 1:Read the travel journal again and complete the timeline of Li
Lan's trip.
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.

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

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.
