“The Fire of London”
The old city of London had narrow, crooked streets and wooden houses. It was a dirty city, too. In 1665 75, 000 Londoners died from the plague. On September 2nd 1666 a bakery in Pudding Lane near London Bridge caught fire. After a long hot summer the wooden houses were very dry. A wind was blowing from the river. It blew the flames from house to house, and in the narrow streets the fire spread quickly. The fire burned for four days. It destroyed 80% of the city. Amazingly, nobody died in the fire. The people of London built a new city. The houses were made of brick or stone, not wood. The new streets were straight and they were wider and cleaner, too. Sir Christopher Wren rebuilt St. Paul’s Cathedral.

I started learning English when I was six. I went to school and studied it every day.It was a very hard time because the material was very difficult and no one could help me.I liked to speak English but grammar was a real problem for me.I was bad at grammar at school.After finishing school I started to learn English very intensively.I wanted to speak English completely fluently and know it perfectly.It wasn’t easy and it took me a lot of time to reach the highest level in English.However, I think I did the right thing.My parents and friends inspired me to be a better student.I also improved my memory and took up another foreign language.It’s absolutely fantastic to develop our language skills.

Halloween is a festival that takes place on October 31. In  the United States children wear costumes and masks and go trick-or-treating. Many of them carve jack-o'-lantens out of pumpkins. Fortunetelling and storytelling about ghosts and witches are popular activities.  

Halloween developed from new year festivals and festivals of the dead. Christian church established a festival on November 1 called All Saints' Day so that people could continue to celebrate their festivals. The Mass said on All Saints' Day was called Allhallowmass. The day before All Saints' Day was known all hallows' Eve or All Hallow e'en.  

The main Halloween activity for children is trick-or-treating. Children dress in costumes and masks and go from door to door saying "trick or treat". The neighbours give children such treats as candy, fruit and pennies so that children do not play tricks on them.  

Jack-o'-lanterns are hallowed-out pumpkins with face carved into one side. Most jack-o'-lanterns contain a candle inside. An Irish legend says that jack-o'-lanterns are named after the man called Jack. He could not enter heaven because he was a miser, and he could not enter hell because he had played jokes on devil. As a result, Jack has to walk on the earth with his lantern until Judgment Day
