Gold rush
It started when a man saw little bits of shiny yellow metal in the river. He was very excited to find it was gold.
Soon pepple started to drive in California. They used special pans to look for the gold in the rivers. This was called panning for gold.
These people came from all around the world. Some were Americans, but mghy were Mexicon English, and Australian. The people looking for gold were called prospectors(采矿者). Many traveled by ships and some traveled overland on horses and wagons.
After a few years, most of the gold from the rivers was gone. Although some prospectors got rich, most found very little gold and were very poor.

Read the passage
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.
