Japanese Tea Garden
The magnificent Tea Garden started its life as part of the California Midwinter International Exhibition of 1894. The original 1 acre part was expanded to its present 5 acres and is now part of Golden Gate Park. One of its most famous attractions is the incredibly steep Moon Bridge. It looks tricky, but I bet it will be fun to climb it.
magnificent adj. 宏偉的；壯麗的

The Marina District
The scenic Marina District was once just a swampy marshland. In 1915 it was filled in to create the site for the 1915 Panama Pacific International Exposition. Unfortunately, landfill is rather unstable and the area suffered extensive damage during the 1989 earthquake. Ironically, part of the landfill was rubble from the 1906 earthquake.

Jace: How's everything going?
Clara: Not bad, though it can be better if my brother stops playing video games all day long. My parents are so angry about him and nag at him all the time. I don't know why it's so hard for him to quit video games.
Jace: I think this can explain the reason. According to a story I read in the China Post, psychiatrists said that video games can be as addictive as heroin for some kids. Even if they want to stop it, it's still hard for them to break the habit.

Chinatown
The gloriously decorated three-arch Dragon's gate signals that we're entering Chinatown. The gate was a gift from the Republic of China in 1969 and incorporates many good luck symbols. It is also guarded by some fierce stone lion dogs believed to be able to ward of evil spirits. With all those things to help me. I'm sure I'll do well today.
gloriously adj. 光榮的；傑出的

I'm so excited! I've finally arrived in San Francisco for the Big City Adventure treasure hunt. I'm on my way to the first location, the famous island of Alcatraz. The prison there was deemed escape proof. 36 prisoners tried in 14 separate escape attempts, although 5 were never found. I hope I don't disappear mysteriously when I leave.
以下是 Google Translate :
我很興奮 ! 我終於抵達了舊金山大城市探險尋寶 . 我在我去的第一個地點 ,著名的島嶼 Alcatraz . 監獄也被視為逃逸證明 . 36名囚犯試圖在14個單獨的越獄企圖 ,雖然五人,再也沒找到. 我希望我並不神秘消失,當我離開 .

Jay: Do you know about the Nathan's Famous hot dog eating event on New York's Coney Island? It's going to start on July 4!
Clare: I know it. I have watched it on TV - people gobbled up dozens hotdogs in only a few minutes. They are true monsters.
Jay: My idol Takeru Kobayashi will dominate the hotdog eating contest again! It will be his seventh straight title.
