The gold rush part 1
Read and answer the questions :
The gold rush began on January 24, 1848, when gold was found by James W. Marshall at Sutter's Mill in Coloma, California. The news of gold brought approximately 300,000 people to California from the rest of the United States and abroad. While most of the newly arrived were Americans, the gold rush attracted thousands from Latin America, Europe, Australia, and China. Agriculture and ranching expanded throughout the state to meet the needs of the settlers.
QUESTIONS : 1. Quel évènement a déclenché le début de la ruée vers l'or en Californie? .............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. 2. D'où les chercheurs d'or venaient-ils ? .............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. 3.

By 1854, more than 300,000 immigrants had arrived from around the world. San Francisco grew from a small settlement of about 200 residents in 1846 to a boomtown of about 36,000 by 1852. Roads, churches, schools and other towns were built throughout California. At the beginning of the Gold Rush, there was no law regarding property rights in the goldfields and a system of "staking claims" was developed. Prospectors retrieved the gold from streams and riverbeds using simple techniques, such as panning. Gold worth tens of billions of today's US dollars was recovered, which led to great wealth for a few, though many who participated in the California Gold Rush earned little more than they had started with.

Recap
Le comparatif de supériorité On l’utilise pour comparer deux éléments entre eux à l’aide d’un adjectif. Pour le former: - On ajoute -er aux adjectifs courts (une syllabe / deux syllabes finissant en -y ou -er) → warm = warmer → happy = happier (le -y se transforme en -i) - On place more devant tous les autres adjectifs.→ famous = more famous → dangerous = more dangerous - Quand un deuxième élément est exprimé dans la comparaison, on ajoute than:→ A shark is more aggressive than a dolphin. → You are nicer than him.
