Task 1. Read the text and say whether the statements are true or false.
THE GREAT FIRE OF LONDON
The summer of 1666 was very hot and there was not any rain. One night in September a strong wind started to blow. The fire started in a baker’s shop, where a baker made bread on a fire in a big oven.
Soon the fire was very big. In those days the streets of London were very narrow. The houses were wooden and, because of the hot weather, they were very dry. The fire went quickly from house to house and from street to street.
Many people ran away from the city. But some of them stayed in London. They took water from the river to fight the fire. The fire burned for three days and three nights. Many houses and buildings burned down.
After the fire many people lived in tents in the fields near London. It was a terrible fire.
