| San Francisco is a very beautiful city. I like San Francisco--the place, weather, cable cars, and people from different countries. If my friends come to visit, I would like to take them to the Golden Gate Bridge, Golden Gate Park, Fisherman's Wharf, Lombard Street, and Coit Tower. My favorite places are Ghiradelli Square and Fisherman's Wharf. I like Ghiradelli ice cream too. Golden Gate Park is a good place to take your children. The Maritime Museum and library are places that are free. Also, the first Wednesday of every month is free in San Francisco museums.--Susanna |
| Hello. My name is AK. I like the people, who are very nice, but I don't like the wind here. If my friends come to visit I would take them downtown to go shopping. I like Golden Gate Park. I'd take children to go to Ocean Beach. They are all free, but going shopping is very expensive.--AK |
| I'm Minh. I came to the U.S. in 2003. I like to live in S.F. The weather is very good for me. Sometimes I don't like cold. I like to go to Ocean Beach and see people walk on the beach and I like to go to Pier 39. If my friends visit S.F., I would like to take them to a Vietnamese restaurant. I like to go to Macy's. I don't like to eat fast food. I think it is not good for my health.--Minh |
| After I came to S.F. my cousin took me to visit some famous places of SF. We went to the Golden Gate Bridge, Fisherman's Wharf, Twin Peaks, and so on, but I really like Ocean Beach the most. I like the ocean, sand, wind, and sunlight. It makes me feel comfortable and relaxed. It's not only a place to visit, but also a good place for people to exercise. People like to do many kinds of sports along the ocean beach. It's really a wonderful place in S.F.--Yu |
| I lived in another state before I moved to San Francisco one and a half years ago. When I came to San Francisco, I felt my skin and face were dry. I remember I wasn't used to the climate here. I didn't like the fog here and the expensive houses. Right now I am already used to the climate here. I like San Francisco's climate because it is not very cold or hot. It is okay for me and I like San Francisco's different style restaurants. You can choose different food to eat.--Jenny |
| San Francisco is a very beautiful city. I like it very much. Sometimes my friends come to visit us. I like to take them to Golden Gate Park and Fisherman's Wharf. There are beautiful views and fresh air there. If they come at a good time we can go to the San Francisco zoo (because the zoo is free the first Wednesday of each month). Also we will bring them to Chinatown. There is a lot of Chinese food and Chinese cultural things there. We don't go to museums because they are too expensive, but we still have a good time.--Xiao Li |
| I especially like the weather in San Francisco. It's not cold and not hot. It is good and there are many places to visit in San Francisco. This is unique. I like this part. If my friends come to visit me, I'll take them to the Golden Gate Bridge, Fisherman's Wharf and Golden Gate Park because these places are my favorite places. In San Francisco, life is not cheap. I don't like this part. This is my guess because I don't know another city. I came directly to San Francisco. Anyhow, I like it.--Sintayehu |
| I like the buildings in San Francisco. They are lower and smaller. In our country, most buildings are tall and big. I like both San Francisco and China buildings. I don't like the weather of San Francisco because sometimes it's foggy. Sometimes it's sunny. For example, this morning is very cold, but the afternoon is hot. It's very different at different times of day. San Francisco is a famous vacation city. If my friends come here, I'll take them to the Golden Gate Bridge or Golden Gate Park. I will take a cable car with them. In San Francisco some places are free for visiting--Japantown, Chinatown, or some museums. You can go to visit them.--Yue Hua |
| I like the climate and architecture in San Francisco. I don't like the expensive life in San Francisco. When my friends come to visit, I like to take them to a Chinese restaurant, Golden Gate Park, cable cars, and some museums. My favorite places in San Francisco are Golden Gate Park, Ocean Beach, and the public library. I know free places are museums on free days, concerts in churches, and Golden Gate Park.--Aleksandr |
| I love San Francisco because San Francisco has a beautiful atmosphere, human and not artificial. I love the landscape the most but my groupmate said, "I don't like it anywhere." Why??? I don't understand. I don't like American fish. It is no good. If my friends came here, I would take them everywhere without eating food.--Emi |
| San Francisco is a beautiful city in the world. Some people always say, "It is a good place to travel." This means they are telling you if you visit there, you will enjoy it. My friends often visit San Francisco. I usually take them to visit the Golden Gate Bridge. It is famous in the world. Then I take them to visit Chinatown, Fisherman's Wharf, and Twin Peaks. I also take them to visit around the Bay Area. San Francisco has different cultures. It has different restaurants too. I take all my friends to Vietnamese, Italian, Thai, or French restaurants for dinner. They always say, "That was a wonderful trip!"--Zhong Yee |
| I like San Francisco because there are many tourist places to visit, such as the Golden Gate Bridge, Golden Gate Park, the Piers in the Embarcadero, etc. I don't like the weather. It's very cold and foggy and the buses are crowded. When my friends come to San Francisco, I take them to visit the famous Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz Island. My favorite place in San Francisco is Twin Peaks. The first Wednesday of the month the zoo is free. The aquarium and the museum of art are expensive. A good place for kids is Golden Gate Park because there are many playgrounds.--Teresa |
| I've lived in San Francisco just one year. I like this city's weather, beautiful houses and green places. The weather isn't hot in summer and isn't cold in winter. The weather is warm or cool in season, but I don't like fog and wind. I often go to Golden Gate Park. It has a few museums and many plants. I think it is a good place for children because they may learn and find out many things. I also often go to the Golden Gate Bridge. I like to see it. It is strong and great. Sometimes I take the bus to Chinatown. I feel like I'm back in my native country. I like San Francisco, but I don't like this city's expensive homes and waiting for a doctor takes a long time.--Kendy |
| San Francisco is a good city. I like all the people, the buildings, the weather, the restaurants, and the stores in San Francisco. If my friends come to visit, I'd like to take them to Fisherman's Wharf, the Golden Gate Bridge, and Lombard Street, but I will take them to Chinatown first, because I want to let them know the other China in San Francisco. I think the beach and museums are good places to take children, because the beach and some of the museums are free, and these are good for their health and thought.--Tracy. |
| I like the weather in San Francisco. It's very mild in comparison to other cities of the U.S.A and China. Before coming to San Francisco, I lived in New York City. There it's cold and there is a lot of snow in winter and it's very hot in summer. I also have been to many other cities, such as Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, Washington D.C. and Miami. L.A. and Miami are so hot in summer. The weather in Chicago and Washington D.C. is like NYC, so I think the weather of San Francisco is the best in America though sometimes fog and wind upset us. I don't like San Francisco's house prices. These are crazy for the common person, even for middle class people. The average price is even higher than in NYC--the biggest city of the U.S.A. I've never understood the reason--usually there is a higher price in a bigger city.--Kevin |
| I like to live in San Francisco because the weather is very good. I hate weather that is too hot. In San Francisco, the weather is like spring, partly cloudy. If we go to Golden Gate Park, the trees are very tall and green. There are many people from different countries. It is the best big park in the city. There are many museums where children and visitors like to go.--Bo |
| I like the weather in San Francisco because it is not hot. In my country, it is very hot in the summer. If my friends come to visit, maybe I'll take the bus with them to Japantown. Why don't we go to Chinatown? Because I hate it. It's very noisy and there are too many people. There are many free places. I always go there and I like to go shopping very much because it is cheap. The same thing I need to pay $2.00 for here, I need to pay $20.00 to buy in my country. --Jason |
| In San Francisco, I like the beach. I don't like the hills in S.F. too much. If my friend is a newcomer to S.F., I will take him to Fisherman's Wharf and to the Golden Gate Bridge to visit. In San Francisco my favorite place is Ocean Beach because I like the ocean so much. When I'm unhappy, I just go to the beach and look at the ocean. That makes me feel better.--HZ |
| I like San Francisco, with the ocean around the city and the air is clean. The bridges are different designs. However, I don't like the weather so much, because sometimes it changes too fast in a few days. When my friends come to S.F. I always take them to go sightseeing at the Golden Gate Bridge, Fisherman's Wharf, Chinatown, and Japantown, but there it is very expensive for everything. The San Francisco Zoo is good for kids to play in.--Amy |
| I like San Francisco because it's convenient and the weather is not too hot or cold. I don't like San Francisco because there are too many immigrants when I look for a job. When my friends visit me, I usually take them to the Golden Gate Bridge, Pier 39, Angel Island, Alcatraz, and Chinatown, my favorite sightseeing places in San Francisco. Parks are the best places to take children. The zoo is free on the first Wednesday of the month. Restaurants near Union Square are expensive.--Duc |
| Well, I like all of S.F. I think S.F. is a good place. I just don't like one thing, the homeless. When my friends come to S.F. I think they will like Chinatown, Fisherman's Wharf, the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, and cable cars. These are good places. My favorite place is the Mission. We have some places for children: the planetarium, museum, zoo, and Golden Gate Park. I think the zoo is only free one day, some museums and I don't know what else. Some malls are expensive. Well, in Chinatown we can walk free. I really like San Francisco.--Maria |
| I like the city of San Francisco. I think it's beautiful, the houses, streets, downtown, Japantown, and Chinatown, but I don't like the climate. It's always windy and the wind is cold, but I like fog. On the other hand, I don't like the public transportation in San Francisco. It's always slow and they come two and three together and sometimes you have to wait a long long time for the bus and train. My favorite place in San Francisco is Golden Gate Park. I never saw such a big park with lakes, and it is taken care of very well (no garbage). It's very neat.--Elizabeth |
| I like everything in San Francisco. San Francisco has many many nice places. If my friends come to visit San Francisco, first I'll take them to the ocean because I like the ocean very much. It is very nice. After that I'll take them to Fisherman's Wharf, the Golden Gate Bridge, Golden Gate Park, downtown and many more places. I think in the USA, people work very hard. I think the zoo and Fisherman's Wharf are good places to take children. San Francisco has many many free places, for example, shops and streets, and if you walk on the street you can see everything.--Lkhagvasuren |
| San Francisco is a beautiful city. It has a wide San Francisco Bay. There are many kinds of boats. San Francisco has some hills. The houses are built there like a picture, so I like the view of San Francisco. San Francisco's weather is good. It is not too hot or cold. Living in San Francisco, I feel very comfortable. San Francisco has many Chinese supermarkets. I can buy Chinese food very easily, so I think that it is like living in China!--Ci Dian |
| I like San Francisco weather and many many Chinese restaurants. I don't like San Francisco because everything is expensive. If my friends come to San Francisco to visit me, I will take them to the Golden Gate Bridge and Fisherman's Wharf. Lombard Street and Coit Tower are my favorite places in San Francisco. Golden Gate Park is a good place to take children to play.--May |
