English Day by Day is designed for school students to improve their performance in the English language.
Hi guys,
today we first made a quick recap of last time's lesson and we finished the worksheet we were working on.
Here is what we said about the topic today:
Life during the gold rush
It was not easy like in the movies.
It was dangerous, brutal, and violent because there were many outlaws who wanted to become rich rapidly / strike it rich.
The working conditions of the gold diggers were harder than people imagine.
They had to stand all day long in icy water, in the hot sun. They lived in tents and there was not a lot of food because it was expensive.
Gold... - ...rush
- ...fever
- ...digger
- ...nugget
Then we continued the lesson with some presentations about some important touristy sights in the US.
