        This week I talk about my favorite chapter of “San Francisco”. It is chapter 6 ‘The bridge and Alcatraz’. In this chapter, it introduces world-famous tourist attractions, Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz. You have probably heard that names once. Although I have heard these names, I don’t know what these are. These are wonderful places with more history that I expected.   And fifty years later in 1987, thousands of people went across the bridge again.
