The American Gold Rush
It all started early in 1848 in California. James W. Marshall was working
by the riverside when he found some small pieces of yellow metal in the water.
He showed them to his boss. It was gold. The two men tried to keep this
discovery a secret but without success. Soon, the magic word ‘gold’ was
repeated all around the world. Everybody wanted to go to California to get
rich. Thousands of people started to rush to the golden river by horse, by ship
and even on foot. Night after night, a few more new towns appeared along the
river. Some people brought tents to live in while others built wooden houses
called huts. Looking for gold was hard work and many people were disappointed.
Only the lucky ones found gold – sometimes up to $2,000 in one day. It is not
surprising that many small hotels, restaurants and bars opened in the new
towns. Their owners made fortunes providing services to people who arrived in town
in search of gold. By the end of 1850, the California Gold Rush was over. However,
about forty-seven years later gold was discovered again, this time in Canada.
Once more, over a thousand people left their homes and families to look for a
better future. Today, at the original site of the California Gold Rush, near
Sacramento, visitors can still try their luck with finding the yellow pieces of
metal in the river. The old buildings have been redecorated and tourists can experience
the life of the old days. Many of them are sure that they can find at least a
small bit of gold.

Driving cars in England
It is the same to drive a car in
England as any other country. To change a car wheel in the wind and rain is as
pleasant outside London as outside Rio de Janeiro. If your car stops moving
anywhere - in Sydney or in Edinburgh - you will still have to push it. But the English
car driver is different from the European car driver so there are some things
you must remember when you drive in England. Let me give you three examples.
One. In English towns you must
drive at thirty miles per hour. The police watch carefully for drivers who go too
fast. It is difficult to know if a police car is following you but if you are intelligent
and have very good eyes, you will see these cars. Remember: the police usually drive
white cars, two policemen sit in each car and you can read the word POLICE in
large letters on the front and back of these cars.
Two. England is the only country in
the world where you must leave your car lights on when you park your car at
night in a busy street with lots of street lights. When you come back to the
car, you cannot start it again. The car will not work; it’s dead. But it is wonderful!
There are fewer cars on the road and the number of road crashes goes down. This
makes driving on roads safe.
And three. If you park your car in
the City or the West End of London, two or three policemen will run up and tell
you ‘You cannot park here! Move along!’ So where can you park? The policemen
don’t know. But, they are right. Cars need to move, and move fast, not stop and
make life difficult for people in the street.

Karaoke
Karaoke was created thirty
years ago in the city of Kobe, Japan. It actually means ‘empty orchestra’ and
was originally popular with businessmen who wanted to relax after a day’s work.
With time, however, karaoke has become extremely popular and it is now a hit in
bars, restaurants, hotels, parties and even at weddings!
Today a lot of karaoke fans
prefer to buy CDs including special karaoke versions of the songs by their
favourite artist. They also often use karaoke players available on the Internet.
That way, they have the opportunity to practice singing at home before they
show their talents in front of others.
In twenty years karaoke’s
popularity has spread far beyond Japan and it has got to the rest of the Far
East, North America and Europe. It appears that the rest of the world also
enjoys the idea of having a drink and singing songs among friends! Anywhere
friends or family meet for a good time, they enjoy holding the microphone and
singing along with the music. It is so much fun!
