BR06: This is San Francisco

’San Francisco is an important city on the west coast of the United States of America...' (p.4)

     I read this book last week. I'll introduce this book!
     San Francisco is in the United States of America. It's not large city in the U.S. There are 679000 people who live in there. San Francisco is the financial center of western America and also a center for music and art. A lot of people visit there. San Francisco was famous for gold at that time, in 1849. There, large amount of gold was founded by many people. They were called 'Forty-Niners'. Now, there is an American football team named '49ers' whose name comes from the history. The temperature in San Francisco is mild. In December, the average temperature is 52.5°F(11.4℃). We feel much comfortable than the climate of Japan. Moreover, San Francisco is familiar with its cable cars. The cable cars are old-fashioned, but everyone live there loves them.
     After reading this, I want to go to San Francisco very much. If you are interested in travelling abroad, you should try it!
